While you should set important sections to a higher priority, you should not set a high priority on too much content.]]> This feature requires that the "Always use Forum URL as Base Path" be set to yes.

This will override the main Forum URL setting for CMS pages to allow the CMS pages to be accessed from a different directory than the rest of vBulletin. This value can either be an absolute URL in which case it fully overrides the Forum URL or it can be a relative URL, in which case it is appended to Forum URL.

For example, if vBulletin is located at http://example.com/vbulletin then entering a value of "cms" will result in the CMS being located at http://example.com/vbulletin/cms. A value of "http://www.example.com/cms" will result in the CMS being located at http://www.example.com/cms. All vBulletin URLs must have the same host name.

In addition to setting the CMS Component URL, you will need to take the following steps in order for the CMS to work in the new location.

  1. If you are locating the CMS in a directory other than a direct subdirectory of the vBulletin directory (http://example.com/vbulletin/cms in the above example), then edit cms/vb_dir.php in the do_not_upload directory of your download package to set the vBulletin install directory. Instructions are given in that file.
  2. Upload the CMS files directory from the do_not_upload directory to the directory you want the CMS to be located in. If you want the CMS to be in http://example.com/vbulletin/mycms, create a subdirectory in your vBulletin directory called mycms and upload the CMS files there.
  3. If you are using rewrite friendly URLs, you will need to copy the .htaccess file from do_not_upload/rewrite/apache2/cms to the stub directory before uploading.
  4. If you are using a different domain, such as cms.example.com versus www.example.com then you will need a crossdomain.xml file for the asset manager flash upload. Create a file called "crossdomain.xml" and place it in your cms subdirectory with the following contents modified to suit your domain.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <cross-domain-policy xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFile.xsd"> <allow-access-from domain="*.example.com"/> <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/> <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*.example.com" headers="*" secure="true"/> </cross-domain-policy>

If the cookie path option is set for the site, it needs to be general enough to include all vBulletin URLs. For example, if vBulletin is located at www.host.com/mysite/vbulletin but the cms is located at www.mysite.com/mysite/cms then a cookie path of "mysite" will work, but a cookie path of "mysite/vbulletin" will not work because the cookies will not be sent to pages in the mysite/cms directory.

]]> Widget locations need to be in the following format:

<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[1]</ul>

The location may appear any where in the HTML but the first location must start with 1, with each successive column increasing by one, for example:

<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[1]</ul>
<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[2]</ul>
<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[3]</ul>
<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[4]</ul>
<ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[5]</ul>

]]> Widget locations need to be in the following format:

$column[1]

The location may appear any where in the HTML but the first location must start with 1, with each successive column increasing by one, for example:

$column[1]
$column[2]
$column[3]
$column[4]
$column[5]

This is a fatal error that should never occur unless your node table is broken or corrupted. You may need to reinstall the CMS.]]> vBulletin allows you to create a special access section that only a select group of users can view. Users who are not in the group can't normally view the articles in the section. But, when the preview option is selected, it allows these users to get a sneak peak of the article.

Article Preview

NOTE: The preview option must be selected in the section options as well.

    • Check to see if you are in the right section.
    • Check to see if the permissions for the section have been set so that only a certain group of users can see the section. If it is, the article will not be made visible to the general public unless the "preview" option was selected at creation.
    • Check to see if your article has been published.
    • Check to see if the "Start Publishing" date was set to either a date before today or today's date.

    Categories make it possible to group articles in different sections in one location. Unlike sections, an article can be assigned to more then one category. This allows you to filter, group and even search content in a section.

    You can either do this when you first create the article or at a later time by editing the options for an article.
