Please help with getting to know vB code all over again

[cbiweb]

I agree, Wayne Luke

In Omnibus thanks for the helpful explanation.

Everyone else: Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions. I won't be bored, lol....

[cbiweb]

I missed that one, what's up with that? PM me if you prefer....

[cbiweb]

While examining the HTML, PHP, JavaScript, etc., of vB's architecture, I'm stumped on a particular aspect of how it's all assembled to create a page. For this post I'll use the example of ACP > Settings...

[cbiweb]

Thank you!

I'm still developing a site, so I'm the only member, otherwise I'd test what I'm about to ask.

I'd like to have something shown to user ID 1, 34, and 256. I know the conditional for a single...

[cbiweb]

Thank you!...

[cbiweb]

I asked for help with this at .org but no one is responding. Hopefully someone here can help. I haven't done any coding nor working with the vB software for ten years, so I've forgotten a lot of stuff....

[cbiweb]

Oh, is that all? LOL.

Thanks, Wayne. Looks like a good side project in my spare time. Fortunately I have a good bit of it.

What exactly would it take to make it work with PHP 7.4.x? Not asking you to do it for me, just wondering what parts of PHP or vB code would I need to target?...

[cbiweb]

Thank you, Mark. That should effectively stop his plans for that, lol....

[cbiweb]

He runs a site where you can create a forum that becomes your space, complete with independent ACP though somewhat limited. I suppose he's thinking that people might like having the appearance of running...

[cbiweb]

A client of mine runs a rather large vB4 community, and he wants to make each forum a subdomain. Is that even possible? If so, how would I go about making that happen?

[cbiweb]

I misspoke, this reply is useless. lol

[cbiweb]

No problem, I only needed to know what I was dealing with. Now I know....

Thanks....

[cbiweb]

I'm working on a 4.2.5 site for someone, and they sent me this db error. I've never seen anything like this, with regex AND saying it's from vB2! 😮

Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?...

[cbiweb]

Will it work with PHP 5.6? I have that and 7.3+ available to me, but not 7.1.

[cbiweb]

Thank you! Here I am searching the forums for answers, and never thought to look in the documentation. See what getting old does to a guy? hahaha...

[cbiweb]

Please refresh my memory - it's been ten years, lol - what is vb:raw? Is it referencing the PHP files?

Since you say that you can build a professional website on the vb5
Why view us on your site
: My mind may change towards the vb5 when they see professional sites on the vb5...

[cbiweb]

Not complaining, not judging, but surprised (curious rather) that vB4 is still so much a part of 5 more than ten years later. We had vB1, 2, 3 and 4 all in the space of 9 years, yet 5 is almost that...
