thanks that sorted that problem, now just need to sort out the other problem

anyone has any ideas on how i can get the Create Forum and a Manage Your Hosted Forum links in my forum menu working

[Madhouse]

If you do not have the links in your forum menu you can add them with my post or pauls post
http://www.vbhacks.us/forum/showpost...3&postcount=92

This will give your users quick acess to the admin side of their forums.

Now for the other , you could just go to the style you used to implement vbhosting on , then go to the nav template and copy the code , and add it
to your style you want it on.

#3 umm don't know about that one have to confirm that.

I've tried this several times now and its definetly not working correct.
Let the user enter an admin for a forum and then the same admin for subforums etc. Sooner or later you will see the problem.

Open the AdminCP and go to the styles section.
After creating some forums and subforums (don't know exactly when) the Title Image field is saying that is has a master style which is not correct.
Its possible to fix this problem manually by installing the vB master style again but afterwards you also have to install the vBHosting Templates again.

SafeMode is turned off so this could not be the problem.

Did you already create an update?

Also , i do believe that you need the folders located in the root folder of your forums not out side of it.

I have uploaded using the exact directory structure contained in the ZIP file.

My forums are located at:
/httpdocs

Then we have the following directories from vbhosting:
/httpdocs/hacks
/httpdocs/hostingcp

Plus files in existing vBulletin directories:
vbhosting.php in /httpdocs/admincp
functions_vbhosting.php in /httpdocs/includes
hackfunctions.php in /httpdocs/includes
hackfunctions_execute.php in /httpdocs/includes
hackfunctions_xml in /httpdocs/includes
vbhosting.php in /httpdocs

Am I doing something wrong? As far as the readme file suggests, I have uploaded all the files correctly. Permissions should be fine.

In Template footer add:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

That should allow it to work no guarentees however.

I added that in the base style of the vbhosting (footer) and works perfectly.

Big Thanx !

So I am guessing you have your site like http://www.yoursite.com/index.php for your forums?

If that is the case then no you should not have any issues but say you have it as http://www.yoursite.com/forum or even http://forum.yoursite.com/ you would need to make sure the vbhosting files are with in the forum directory not the root.

To be truthfull hooknose it would help if you had an actual link...

Yep that's how I have it.... all pretty standard stuff. We have safemode off, globals on etc. so no idea why the script is spitting out those errors when I try to install.

[Paul]

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/httpd/vhosts/sitename.com/httpdocs/hacks/global.php(132) : eval()'d code on line 25

That error means theirs something wrong in the global.php. You might have to recheck it.

As for me posting an update - gamecrash posted a fix for the access masks as for everything else Between work and family issues even my own sites have been feeling neglected. I have NOT forgotten about fixing this up but its hard to do lately
