Official moves for the next 3 weeks

Ok, here it goes, i’ve been working on iTrader for the last 2 weeks before it’s re-release, and since i did not have time to work on anything else due to other projects i have in hand.

So, for the next days, i’m finishing some other website i have to code, very expensive in time and development. All the work from it will be available from here, like the navigation and some threadbit, postbit, forumbit changes… because it worth releasing.

Then i check what’s left to be released in the Freebies; i usually get to release 2 or 3 products per week, i suppose it will speed up in the next weeks to 4 to 5 per week. The begining of summer would mean closing the old workshop as most of it would be re-released already.

So before the end of april, there is nothing really BIG coming, until the MTF is ready to roll…

Have a nice end of april!

Mike & The Mechanics – The living Years

Mike and the Mechanics, une partie du groupe Genesis, a créé ce magnifique message qui dit de ne pas attendre qu’il soit trop tard pour partager ses émotions avec nos proches.

Every generation

Blames the one before

And all of their frustrations

Come beating on your door


I know that I’m a prisoner

To all my Father held so dear

I know that I’m a hostage

To all his hopes and fears

I just wish I could have told him in the living years


Crumpled bits of paper

Filled with imperfect thought

Stilted conversations

I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got


You say you just don’t see it

He says it’s perfect sense

You just can’t get agreement

In this present tense

We all talk a different language

Talking in defense


Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

It’s too late when we die

To admit we don’t see eye to eye


So we open up a quarrel

Between the present and the past

We only sacrifice the future

It’s the bitterness that lasts


So don’t yield to the fortunes

You sometimes see as fate

It may have a new perspective

On a different date

And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in

You may just be O.K.


Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

It’s too late when we die

To admit we don’t see eye to eye


I wasn’t there that morning

When my Father passed away

I didn’t get to tell him

All the things I had to say


I think I caught his spirit

Later that same year

I’m sure I heard his echo

In my baby’s new born tears

I just wish I could have told him in the living years


Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

It’s too late when we die

To admit we don’t see eye to eye

Custom latest blogs on forumhome

Hello,

I’m currently looking for an adjustment/rewrite on my latest-blog-on-forumhome product.
If possible it should fetch the first image from a made blog post and embed it next to the made preview of this post on forumhome. (styling this product, making it table-less and valid is not a requirement)

Demo: DIE16 Sniper Clan – Covering Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Tournament 3

I will pay 20% right after the job is confirmed, and 80% right after the job is finished. (Currently I’m thinking about 150,- USD total, paid by verified Paypal)

If you’re interested please contact me by pm at this board.

If possible including your real name, age, and reference of modifying you might have done in the past.

Don’t add me to your messenger account right away as I will simply ignore you for not respecting this tiny request.
I’m around here quite often; therefore I can assure you won’t have to wait long until my reply.

site wrapper, better than the vb 4.0 one… surely possible

because i know nothing about the future site wrapper, i know i can do better than what i know..lol

you know how they drive the widgets in WordPress?!

Plugins/WordPress Widgets WordPress Codex

we first decide if we want the skeleton A or B,C etc, each of them have a specific X columns to fill.

with that, we decide which block we want in column X or Y…

then we configure each block… remember that we can have duplicates of specific blocks like « latest X threads », so we can have a block for latest threads from forum G, and latest threads from forum K, and put a different title for each.

this is pretty simple, way simplier than vbAdvanced and way more than what i see from vb 4.0 …

we can also have blocks that replace actual features in vB, like the forumjump (once created, the block deactivate the forumjump)…

just to tell how many blocks we can generate, mainly we can have about 25 blocks for a forumhome, or a portal page using the channels page instead of the forumhome, and we can generate a sidebar for the other parts of the site… or different sidebars depending on where we are in the site…

having different AdSense blocks can be good also, having a bunch of ready made blocks would be so much appreciate…

that portal/css is needed, everybody’s fleeing vbAdvanced because of the lack of service and customization… everybody’s willing to have a wrapper, no need for a portal itself…

and we can make a bunch of blocks related to MTF… you can have a good example here: THCfarmer … it’s a modified CMPS i coded for that site, and as you can see, i selected a different style for each block, created 4 custom blocks based on paid addons on the site, and have a variant structure never seen on any vBulletin.. 🙂

if i can have a wrapper, with the same kind of widgets construction as in WordPress, without the ajax is ok too, i would go for it right now… make it paid like 50$, with access to all the free addons only when you pay for them, and a SDK for coders… 🙂

looks like new to me:

Hi all

Im sorry to say that i have now removed the deluxe version for the time being.
The reason for this is that the owner has not payed me anything for the work thats been done to the old version to the deluxe version.
Once i get payment i will re-upload the deluxe version, Till then you will not be able to buy the deluxe version as well as i will not support this as well.

Im sorry for this but when someone makes an agrement with you for paying you and breaks that agrement i will stop all help and so on.

Deluxe Version Removed – Forums

something remembers me of real life…

New Rule: Guests now have to register to download

At first, the site had the Freebies available even for guests, so anybody was able to download without registering/loging-in…

but this caused a little problem. Some web crawlers are taking a real fun downloading the attachments multiple times, for no reasons… and they persist… it loads the server a lot in no time, it’s like spam in the serverside.

i can not afford to see my host bandwidth/usage overused only because of a clash in attachment downloads, so the simpliest solution i could apply is to force people to be logged-in to download.

This is not a real problem right now as there is not much people visiting the site… but there is more crawlers visiting the site than guests, so i can not take a chance.

sorry for the ones willing to have no account, this is my solution.
