What happened?

Why is the your paypal setup only for Credit Cards? Why not Instant bank transfer too? That is all I use on Paypal :grin_Money:

In the last days, this site was kinda cloaked because no download was permitted during our restructuration… now is the end of it.

The forum was redesigned to host a better place for the « community » side of things. At first, as this site was more a repository of my work, there was just support and releases… But as the times changes, people requested more attention from myself and the new members are more interested to chat and talk publically about their needs… so i comply to this.

I’ve made some major changes in how the forum is built, and i will add more or modify the existing stuff even more if people want new things. This is an internal policy here: listening to the community.

Also, something different for a change, a place where coders can meet, where admins can share, and where people can advertise their services and products. Each sections of this forum are now directed to a single usage; discussions, releases, support… and fun!

Some specific areas of the forum requires a paid subscription to have access to them. The Enhancements forum is completely paid access. Everybody is free to visit for a view/reading but to have access to the downloads, you need to pay the minimal subscription called « Basic Enhancements Access« . This basic access gives you access to the freebies download and to all the support discussions.

To have access to the more specific products released here, you have to purchase the subscription related to each of these products. These subscriptions are used to give access to the files, and to basic support for each of them. If you need customization and more, you will need to contact the author.

All our products have a basic « lifetime » subscription, you never have to renew a subscription to buy a product, and you do not have to purchase a second « branding free option », as all these costs are included in the first purchase.

So these are the changes. Some additional informations are to be posted in the specific forums you visit.

Here are the phrases packs for any language we receive the translations for… thanks for the translators!

While rebuilding the site, i decided to add a little spicey mood in the place…

So here is the first pack of smilies that is added today:

Grin Collection

made by Jason Rayner (J a s o n R a y n e r . c o m) and released here: Adium – Xtras – View Xtra: Grin

:grin_Angry: :grin_Money: :grin_Kiss: :grin_Grin: :grin_Halo: :grin_Heart: :grin_Wink: :grin_Gasp: :grin_Turtle: :grin_Crying: :grin_Tongue: :grin_Frown: :grin_Smile: :grin_Cool: :grin_Sick: :grin_Confused: :grin_Sealed:

you are welcome to make fun with any of them, and if you want to use that pack on your site, please give credits for Jason’s work!

i pruned the entire forum, sorry if you threads were deleted, but there was like 2500 posts from guests for pointless discussions, and i had not the time to delete them post per post…

btw, it’s a new day, we start over… 🙂

Why can’t I download any of your mods on this site :(?

Also, why did you delete your account on vbulletin, your a cool guy who makes even cooler scripts.

a point system, we’re building one… at least Drew is… lol

the main goal will be to enable the purchase of Points via Paypal or anyother payment processor activated on vBulletin via the adminCP.

as i know nothing about how it work, what i think would be the best is to NOT duplicate the processes. we need something more efficient than the actual vbCredits engine, because it is complicated to understand at first and have a lack of configurations…

so, why is this the first step for a points system?.. because the other parts are easy. adding an element in a hook to give or take points is quite easy.

so:

1. the member access the Transaction Manager
2. it is asked to choose what transaction processor to choose, like Paypal, Worldpay, 2checkout, etc…
3. the member is then asked how much credits to purchase. the page indicate the rates.
4. the member is taken to the transaction processor.
5. coming back from there, the member see how many credits he have now, and that’s it.

there is no need for a new payment api manager, vB have an efficient one… we just need to hook it up and proceed to payments based on the existing system. We only need an admincp that will check the rate for each level of credits, if needed: 1:1000, etc

how long can this take to be coded?

The attachment engine in vBulletin is just crap if you ask me… the [attach] and thing is not even working logically, even if they want to fix it in vb 4.0, it will not be in the actual generation…

so all my screenies will be hosted differently in the next days, so if you visit a release thread and see no screenshots, it’s because i’m moving things around… sorry!
