If you have several vbulletin licenses, and you only have very small web hosting. I can tell you a skill on how to share one set vbulletin code with multi vbulletin licenses.

add the following to config.php.

$arrays=array(
'localhost'=>‘configlocalhost.php’,
‘127.0.0.1′=>’config127.php’,
);
$url = $arrays[$_SERVER[’HTTP_HOST’]];
include $url;
?>

and change the other 2 forums’ config.php to configlocalhost.php and config127.php.

that’s all.

<if condition=”$showabiaoip==’117.95.53.162′”>
$showabiaoip <br />
</if>

If  the vistor’s ip is 117.95.53.162, then show the visitor’s ip, otherwise, do nothing.

Q:How to show moderator on index forum if vbulletin?

A: vBulletin version 3.0.x to 3.6.7PL1
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options ->

Forum Listings Display Options -> Show Moderator Column

Q:Is it also possible to show the moderators below the board description?

A:
Just edit template(s): forumhome_forumbit_level1_post,

 forumhome_forumbit_level2_post and add code within

tags
$forum[moderators] You will then need to enable moderators column and then you will have to edit templates and remove column.
FORUMDISPLAY, FORUMHOME, forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost, forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost

How it works and why it’s better than vB Promotions system…
First of all it’s very easy to use.

Forum is shown on forumhome but if you have no needed post count you’ll see lock icon and predefined error message when try to access. When you set this via vB Promotions system forum is hidden on forumhome and you must create additional usergroup to make all this working.

When user collect needed amount of posts he will be able to access protected forum immediately. When you set this via vB Promotions system then user must wait until Promotions task is executed … then he will be able to access protected forum. How much time user must wait it depends on settings in AdminCP/Scheduled Tasks… and if you set this to run every minute it pushes your server. If you set it to 2 or more minutes then user must wait more and more… and nobody like it.

I want to show a different header for the home page versus all interior pages, and am wondering what conditional I should write to check for that, but also, how to create and reference a different header for the homepage.

 Add the following code at header or footer templates.

<if condition=”THIS_SCRIPT == ‘index’”>
{banner for index here}
<else />
{banner for all other pages here}
</if>

Go to Admin Control Panel –> Maintenance –> Update Counters –> Fix broken user profiles

Done.
