even there, i see on a lot of coders community that the life is well announced and shared… on vb.org?… it’s just bullshited

Will simply put each reported posts to the moderation queue. Will not be active for the moderator of that forumid, but will if you are admin.

No screeny, it’s a function. each post reported will be checked; if the poster is a moderator or admin, the post is not put in queue. but if you are an admin and report a moderator, it goes to queue anyway…

Did you see that page: vBulletin.org Forum – View Profile: nexialys … looks like i was occupied on monday the 11th…

I released all that was possibly releasable from the Freebies, and it’s not finished. but i also found that i « forgot » a lot of very useful hacks in the Workshop… forgot to release them here too… so i’ll be updating these products in the next days, and i’ll post them on both sites.

Also, i want to thanks everybody who played and tested my releases in the past, i plan on creating new engines soon, and as the MTF is mostly ready, we will have that great product to promote soon too!

Redline was lately very occupied in the military and with his health… two months ago he asked if someone could takeover one of his engine: vBulletin.org Forum … and as i was unaware of this request *(don’t know how i missed this post), i did not know it was there until today.

So i talked with Brooks (his name though) and told him vbEnhancer.com could takeover his work… he was happy enough, as his first words were

… thanks is well enough for me to takeover such work.. 😉

ok, so, guys, if someone want to recode his engine to make it more efficient, you are welcome to do so, as it will be re-released on vb.org with a new version. if you are not doing it, i’ll be doing it. there is a bunch of things in that product that need rebuilding, like duplication of hooks and functions, a heavy install script that can be minimized a lot, etc…

this is free job, your name will be on it. it also need minimum support on vb.org and here once it is re-released.

this engine is quite simple actually, i code it right now, but it’s so much fun that i ask for suggestions.

Similar Threads is usually driven by keywords… my addition/substraction will add a Similar Threads block based on latest threads released with same prefix…

so instead of browsing the forum again for a topic related to the same prefix, you can see the latests in the footer. 😉

Allows for different usergroups to have different ‘weights’ when voting in a poll. A usergroup with a weight of 5 would have 5 times the voting power of a usergroup with a weight of 1. Weighted Polls are optional, and in addition to regular polls.

Based on Hambil’s first Weighted Polls engine which is now obsolete, this one is way more efficient, have less queries, and is easier to manage in permissions.

A good usage for this feature is when you have Elections, Votes on Who’s Hot or Not, etc… You then give your more representative members a higher weight in polls.

Here are the screenies:

Usergroup Permissions:

How it shows when you create/edit a poll (see last option in the list):

And how it looks when you add a new icon and prefix in forumdisplay:

Ok, you’ve all read the new blog posts on vb.com about how vB 4.0 will be… every coder on vb.org have to fear for their job, because it’s a complete new system, new structure, most of the codes for addons is to be integrated, so all the existing hacks have no more uses in 4.0…

So we need to take advantage of that. not by releasing 4.0 code right now, but by taking all the existing stuff on vb.org and making it ready to be upgraded, by recoding them to the finest PHP possible, using OOP, like Drew’s doing.

as soon as 4.0 beta is on the shelf, we’ll be able to recode everything possible in the new protocol, but before that, we have to take advance with a list of really useful tools… not just template edits or features enhancements, but useful stuff…

lately i was packaging some features into bundled freebies… theWeb Crawlers bundle is a good example, as i merged 3 different products because they were acting on the same feature.

I was planning different bundles, as i’m releasing a bunch of addons in the next days… the problem is that the more bundles i make, the less products we will have in the list, and the harder the bundles are to be supported in the future, because of debugs, upgrades etc. So i’ll do something here, i’ll seperate each of these packed addons, if needed, and re-release them individually.

ok, that have nothing to do with the staff, as we can all release our stuff without the approval of others, but what i’d like is to have is that each coder here have an overview of all the released addons on the site, and give their opinion on the Staff forum, when needed; so if a code is badly written, or if we could enhance it, or make it work different based on suggestions, it would be cool if we work together on that.

So if you haven’t visited the releases, please do so now, and start commenting… 😉

thanks!

… i want a lexical engine on the site, which will use these tags:

… replacing known terms in $message text, not globally in $output.

terms are not ads, html or other things, they are just  » term = definition « 

minimum footprint, need to be cached, but remember to have multiple dictionaries, like medical, scientific, internet…

i don’t want something like what theVbGeek made with thousands of pages of code… it’s a minimal engine, which str_replace a term with its hovering definition.

in the creation of term in the list, we have:

1- term
2- definition
3- type (abbr,dfn,acronym)

permissions are to be given to:

1- post new definition, create dictionaries
2- manage entries, edit, delete

user preferences to: activate/deactivate replacements… because there is a bunch not interested to learn.. lol
