Search Multiple prefixes select - please consider this urgent

Sarthek — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:35:49 GMT

Hi,

Forums who use a lot prefixes, I think would very appreciate this simple, yet modern and very useful function. When searching by prefixes, we could use multiple selection at once.

Please consider it adding to the next version.

xml syndication

wacnstac — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:04:58 GMT

I can find little to no information on how to use the xml content syndication feature of vbulletin. I have it enabled and would like to run this through Yahoo Pipes to several websites. I've long used the RSS feeds out to twitterfeed, etc, but would like something more rich.

Need help with TOU concerning Dev Boards.

Bree — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:49:51 GMT

Please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong forum...

Ok, so I had created a Dev board at one of my sites with a legal license (of course) for vBulletin... It was password protected etc. The point of it was.. I've been building different modifications etc on it for a future site I would like to launch. That's usually how I do things (Make the mods on a dev board, then go buy the domain and another vB license if the whole development things goes well, and launch the site... I do it this way in case something during development goes wrong to make me not want to finish the site LOL I'm so wishy washy sometimes).. Well unfortunately I just found out from my host that the mods I was working on were for a site that violates their TOU so I had to completely remove that Dev board from my server. So now I'm just lost on how to proceed. I understand that my dev board HAS to be on the server with my live licensed site so to speak. Which in my case can't happen. And I really don't want to buy another vB license if I decide never to launch this site. All I need is a place to build mods, test them, etc and not violate anyone's TOU.

After all that needless babble (that's more venting than anything, I'm so mad at my host for being so picky... it wasn't that I was DOING something on the site to make it against their TOU it was that it mentioned something that you weren't allowed to do on your site.. for example... TOU says you can't play games on your site... so I was in violation of the TOU by mentioning playing games on another site LOL)... Anyways... My only idea is to install a copy of vB on my Mac... work on the mods... and if I get everything programmed and still think its a good idea... THEN get a domain, (a new host for it) and another vB license... But is this legal? Other can access my computer but I can password protect it just like I had to on the web.

Please respond... and I'm so sorry about all the babbling... Guess I'm just having a bad day.

Thank you, Bree

Human Verify For PMs

digitalpoint — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:13:51 GMT

We really need the ability for PMs to be human verified (captcha) as an option. One of our biggest problems right now as a large board are PM spam bots... they manually set up the account (or in some cases 100 accounts) to get by the captcha, and use them to just blast out PMs.

Even when someone creates 100 PM bots to get around the time between sending PMs, they aren't too noticeable in the "Who's Online" area because they log in for a split second, send the PM, and log out... then repeat with a different account.

Please Baby Jesus, all I want for Christmas is the ability to have captchas when sending PMs... amen.

Search Advanced Search

interfx — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:51:00 GMT

I just figured out there are 2 different Advanced Search pages... One called "Search by Type", and One called "Advanced Search" by clicking on the upper right button... Although I think this is "cool", I think a majority of my forum members would not realize where to find both of them...

Why not make a tabbed version, so they can see both. Also, would like a way via the AdminCP to set the default of what comes up for users... (for example the Advanced Search page - the commonly used by my members)

Thanks -

Installing An Ebay RSS Link Feed?

Des_Lab — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:20:42 GMT

Running VB 3.8.4. And spent the last half hour here searching the archives. No luck.

How do I install an Ebay RSS link feed? I would like to have it in the ad_footer_start template.

I have the code from Ebay. What do I need to add to it so that VBulletin picks it up and displays the live feed?

Question about languages

dinamoforum — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:40:58 GMT

From FAQ

Quote:

Do you offer other language version of vBulletin?

With vBulletin you can translate into many different languages using our Language Manager in the admin control panel. This allows you to translate the vBulletin language into your own language or several languages, as well as being able to import language packs created by others. Your users can then select the language they prefer to view the board in.

Please note, the Language Management System only covers the board text and not individual posts. The posts themselves will be displayed in the original language they were written in.

Ok , I understand about posts , but what about Fotum categories name is it possible to translate to all languages which will be represented on my new forum (board) ?

MySQL Error: Incorrect key file for table 'blog_usercss'

CPOWA — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:19:43 GMT

Tried backing up my database this morning and I'm getting the error below. Never had any trouble backing up before. Only changes made to the system since the last backup: Upgraded php (from 5.2.4 to 5.2.11) and mysql (from 4.1.22 to 5.1.37). Restoring the DB is not an option. IE: New users, Style, etc.

Repair table tool didn't fix it. Also, there are no records on the blog_usercss table.

What to do?

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

Setting up Google Sitemap

qubed — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:57:59 GMT

This is probably a bit basic, but not being too familiar with code etc, I do not know where to implement this. I am trying to insert the meta tag supplied by google to verify ownership. It is telling me to insert the meta tag:

... My title

page contents

...

What specific file do I need to find to implement this? Thanks for the help as I am lost.

vb4 pricing confusion

lmf — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:39:55 GMT

I'm a little confused about the new pricing structure. I purchased an owned license this year for $180. My intent was to keep buying upgrades for $40 per year. However, with the new system, I would have to pay $195 to continue with the forum and get the upgrades or right now I can get the suite for $160 which will give me the upgrades too. However, if I had purchased the $100 1 year license, it looks like my price would be the same. Is that correct? So if I were to upgrade, I would have the license for the same amount of time and same benefits as if I had went with the 1 year, but it would have cost me $80 less?

Home page Images sizing

molieman — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:39:22 GMT

Since my update to vB Beta 4 I lost the automatic size format of the images on the home pages. Has this feature been removed or is there a setting somewhere that activates this.

Look here and you'll see what I mean:

white page on archive links for unregistered visitors not registered ones

shinoda — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:20:27 GMT

Dear vb community,

when I sign up to the forum then clik the archive links bottom of the forum, I can see the threads but when I visit with no log-on to the forum and clik the archive links then I see white page instead of archive threads. I am using vbSeo and I asked to the support of vbseo but they said me that the problem was related with vbulletin not vbseo. They are right because altough I disabled vbseo, the trouble was going on. Also I re-upload the archive folder to my host but nothing has been changed.

Any advise?

How to remove Administrator IP Address in "Currently Online"

qubed — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:26:05 GMT

For privacy purposes, does anyone know how to prevent an administrators IP from being displayed in the "Currently Online" section of the vbulletin forum so it is not visible to other users? I did not know where to go in to the admincp and change this and was uncertain whether or not this was possible to do at all. Any insight would be terrific. Thank you in advance.

What do you like more for a forum postbit: buttons or links?

dutchbb — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:59:34 GMT

What's your personal preference?

CMS Not sure if this has been suggested yet (polls on CMS from forum)

dutchbb — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:51:42 GMT

What I would like to see for the CMS/suite is the ability to show old/new polls from the forum on the CMS pages.

This should have these options:
- ability to only show polls from certain forum ID's
- ability to show only polls from x date to y date
- ability to show only poll started by certain user ID
- ability to show either random polls, latest polls or a list of poll ID's

Thanks

So I paid the $130 prepaid price on the October 31st deadline. Does this mean in one year from October 31st I have to renew again, or do I renew one year from the date the Vb4.0 Gold is released?

New spammers

RS_Jelle — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:44:02 GMT

I just saw that the vB.com forums had a visit of a new kind of spammers. Have a look at today's birthdays:

! ! yara ‎(39)
‎!!naha ‎(39)
‎! !yahi ‎(39)
‎! !aa ‎(39)
‎! ! ! b ‎(39)
‎! ! ! y ‎(39)

They all have spam links in their visitor messages.

RSS Poster Automatically Promote To Article Or Promote To Blog

maximutt — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:37:26 GMT

It would be cool to extend the capabilities of the RSS Poster to include the CMS and Blogs. Or can we get a control to have a specific forum setup so that all incoming posts get automatically promoted to articles or blogs? This way the RSS Poster could be used in its current setup.

This would be great for syndicating content across various sites.

Today's Posts

Christie — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:25:51 GMT

Will there be an option to view "today's posts" as well as "new posts"? If there is one already and I'm missing it can someone point me in the right direction. I use that a lot on my forum and it would be a big miss for me.

just testing
