Way to turn off Newest Photos?

[tpearl5]

The newest photos feature isn't really relevant to my site. Is there, or will there be, a way to turn this off?

[IBxAnders]

Look at the config.php file in the application folder. You can tweak a bunch of variables in there to really move and re-arrange the containers as you see fit.

[tpearl5]

Ah I see - Is there a way to turn off a container completely? I removed the newest and popular photos, but that just moved them down.

Also what would cause Newest & Popular thread not to show up at all?

Here's what I have so far: https://apps.facebook.com/cellphoneforums/

tpearl; are you using APACHE web-server?

[tpearl5]

na, litespeed

[IBxAnders]

I am unable to register on your forum, says registrations are disabled or something. Do you have some requirement for registration or a product?

Also, if you see errors on litespeed, some php modules might be required: ie. http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBF-374

That's strange, the only plugin I have installed that deals with registration is spam-o-matic. I wrapped some if statements around the plugin code. Can you try registering again?

I'm using the exact config as apache, and I'm not seeing any errors so I don't believe that's a problem.

The only other thing I can think of is I'm using digitalpoint sphinx search, which replaces the default vbulletin search. The FB app doesn't look like it's recognizing the search implementation setting.

Actually, regardless of the search implementation setting, I'm not getting anything on https://apps.facebook.com/cellphonef...opular_Threads

Two categories in the app depend on the search api. (which may or may not work with that third party search) These are "Recommended" and "Friends".

Recommended seems to work - it's popular and recent threads that I can't get to show up.

Calls to the search API work fine with third party search (which is why search works fine with the mobile app). I don't have a copy of the Facebook App myself so I can't really go digging into what the issue might be. But as long as the Facebook App is using standard vB calls for search (either normally through the standard vB_Search_Core::get_instance() method or via the mobile API), it should work fine.

This is a relevant snippet from the only new search api method:

$search_core = vB_Search_Core::get_instance();        
$current_user = new vB_Legacy_CurrentUser();
if (!$vbulletin->options['enablesearches']) {            
    return $this->error('searchdisabled');        
}                
$criteria = $search_core->create_criteria(vB_Search_Core::SEARCH_ADVANCED);                
$userids_a = explode(',', $userids);        
$contenttypeids_a = explode(',', $contenttypeids); 

And so on, let me know if that's not enough to judge compatibility Digital.

Check your mobile home page settings, if you have a date cut off there that is very short, you won't see any thing. Its a long shot, but something to check. Have you opened a support ticket for this issue? Our staff can help you through any common API issues you may be having, as well as make sure your config otherwise checks out.

[tpearl5]

FYI, search works on my mobile apps, but Recent and popular posts does not. I believe I'm dealing with two different issues.

It's set to 30 days. No, I'll have to open a ticket.
