VBadvanced help

I've just installed vbadvanced, and there are a few small glitches.
Firstly the log in boxes dont work, it displays the thank you for logging in message, then when it loads the page back up again and its as if you havent logged in at all.
Then you can see that in the header, the header is there but there is also a transparent box with a little red cross in the top left hand corner. How do i get rid of this?
www.tots-n-tums.net is where you can have a look if you need to. I still need to configure my settings for this.

 

About logging in, you may need to set your cookie domain in the standard vBulletin Options in your admincp. I've had that problem on a couple of sites that I've set up.

I wish I could help with the rest, but I nearly always have my forums in the top-level directory, and it's been a LONG time since I set up my site where it's not.

 

Ive sorted the logging in issue, if any one else encounters this problem I simply changed "Path to save Cookies from /forum/ to just / you can find this in vBulletin Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Path to Save Cookies.

Still working on the other issue

 

I couldnt see this box logged out myself, it could be because im using Firefox, I will check in IE.

 

If you mean the Comet Chat images on the bar along the bottom these are missing from this location on your server:

http://www.tots-n-tums.net/cometchat/images/icons/buy.png, right click each one and have a look at the image location it is looking for and upload the correct images to where it is looking for them.

 

Haven't noticed the comet chat ones, but i fixed my header issues

 

The comet chat icons are only not working for the portal thing i just added, but is working fine on my actual forum. Is there any way i can disable comet chat for the portal or make the buttons work on the portal?

 

There is three missing ones on the Comet Chat bar along the bottom, theyre the ones that have recently been added in the latest Comet Chat.

 

Yeah use this:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'index'">

Footer comet chat code in footer template

</if>

Edit index to the name of the php file that is on your vbadvanced homepage which may also be index so it may not work perfectly and you may need to change it.

There is possibly another solution if that doesnt work.

 

I'm not logged in, so I can't see the chat buttons, but with your portal and forums being in different folders, you will need to update either your settings in vBA or update your links to "/chat.php" or wherever your chat is.

The easiest thing is to change the setting in vBA...There is a box with a list of scripts to prefix with your site's URL. Add chat.php (or whatever the Comet Chat script is).

That should getcha goin'

 

That is the better solution, removing it completely isnt a perfect fix.

 

Ah...I see the chat now... :o

My suggestion may or may not work with that. I don't know anything about Comet Chat.

 

If you are able to rename the index for your vbadvanced maybe to home instead of index.php then that would work with the IF conditional so it wont show on there. Im not really well versed with it.

 

If you WOULD still like to remove it from your portal pages only and keep them for the rest of your site, I'd use:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">

Footer comet chat code in footer template

</if>

 

THIS_SCRIPT for vBA is 'adv_index', so there would be no conflict there.

 

Shows my lack vba knowledge

 

My head is buzzing lol! Ok i think ill remove it completely, sounds easier than the other options?
Thank you both for your help very much appreciated

 

Removing something is usually faster than trying to work out how to fix it. If the Comet Chat being on the vba homepage will serve a good purpose I would try and work the problem out rather than rid of the problem but if it isnt really needed on there just remove

 

That is true, and generally i would fix it, but i think my members would spend a lot more time on the actual forums than the homepage so its not really needed there.
