What you want is a Content Management System capable of blogging, interfacing with vBulletin, sharing database information and taking on whatever skin you have.

Try vBDrupal, it should fill your needs quite capably: http://www.vbteam.info/compatible-scripts/15667-vbdrupal-ultimate-vbulletin-cms-content-management-system.html

Thanks very much for that, ive just been looking at the demo is that how it will look once installed?

 

[Mr-Ice-Man]

I carnt set it up, when i go to my site now its just options every were

 

[snardley]

ok wats the problemo? i'll walk u thru it...

 

[Mr-Ice-Man]

All my forum Categories have gone mate, all im getting when i go to my site is this... And i have my nav bar on top which i didnt take a screen show of

 

[Mr-Ice-Man]

I carnt seem to get back to normal forum, is it coz it asked to overright in ftp

 

[snardley]

thats cuz u probably just wrote over your vB index.php... easy to fix tho m8

1. To fix it copy another copy of vB index.php over to your root dir where your forum is located
2. If you wish to use your CMS as the front page to your portal then leave vBDrupals index.php as is and rename your vB index.php to something like vb.php. now go to vB admincp-->forums home page options and change index.php to vb.php or whatever you have named your vB index to

Try this fix first and let me know if that restores your forum to working order.

Were do i need to change it mate in vb options? What option is it?
Also wont i have to add something to navbar so people can get to normal forum?

 

[Mr-Ice-Man]

Ok ive found that out now, but now none of the images show on my forum

 

[snardley]

r u speaking bout cms at index.php or vB index.php which should now be vb.php

 

[Mr-Ice-Man]

Ive changed vbulletin index.php to vb.php and now when i go to my forum no images show. And if i just leave CMS as index.php then a carnt get to nothing on my forum.

 

[Mr-Ice-Man]

Anyone who does know how to sort this out so it works let me know, at the moment its messed my forum up so had to uninstall it all.

 

[snardley]

duh, i'm trying to help u sort this out.

when you ran vbdrupal you actually had a choice of three different configurations:

1. yourforum.com - copy vbdrupal directly into forum directory, note: if cms portal is to be your index.php aka your lz - landingzone then you need to mod vB's index.php to another name.

2. yourforum.com/site1 - copy vbdrupal into it's own standalone directory, note: this is the standard/default cms configuration as this config permits multiple lz's

3. - copy vbdrupal directly into subdomain directory. note: data flow between subforum and outside world not permitted, but works ok as standalone very solid.

Questions:

1. Is option 1 your goal?
2. What images are you referring to?
