    Assistence Appreciated: Need Category # For Installation

    I'm trying to install VumPost(from vumpost.com) into my vBULLETIN forum but I can't find the category number in the domain name extension upon clicking the category choosed in a particular post. That is, just to install vumpost correctly.

    Meaning, the installation of VBSEO is not letting me see the .php?f=8 (or other number) needed for having vumpost successfully installed.

    Help indeed appreciated, non-techy guy working with techy stuff...let's see if I can finish this with video instructions(I can't because my go to guy installed vbseo) should I uninstall VBSEO...delete categories and guess?

    Interesting, help me out@!

    Thanks

    Use the Forum Manager in your AdminCP. You can see the ID when hovering over the forums there.

    go into the ACP and click on the forum manager.

    the forums aren't re-written in the admin panel, so you can quickly see by hovering which id it is.

    alternatively, you can go into phpmyadmin and run this simple query (paste into the sql tab):

    Code:
    SELECT forumid, title FROM `forum`
    
    note: if you used a prefix when you installed, you might need to change that slightly to something like:



    Code:
    SELECT forumid, title FROM `vb_forum`

    It worked nicely! Building "technical" needed confidence for forum uploads, technical minor situation that can be done by myself and help from others without going to RAC...

    Thanks a lot guys
