The history wrote:

The PostNuke project was started in July 2001 and grew out of the frustration of four guys not being able to contribute to the development of another open source project. PostNuke was the first open source project to provide a sourceforge type free hosting service to third party developers we nicknamed the NOC (Network Operations Center).

We are again, a bunch of guys frustrated to not being able to contribute seriously to the development of a project. And it was decided in the light of the latest events inside vBulletin Solutions walls that we all had enough to wait for the clock to tick…

One song actually inspire me to continue my work, my way… « Brûle », from Sniper, a french speaking music group from France… here are the video and the lyrics, in french sorry… Sniper: Brûle … les paroles nexialys.net What it means is that if you want things to change, you have to vote, you have to act… i do.

In the next months, we will be hiding in the dark, developing a complete different engine that have nothing to do either will vBulletin, or IPB or anything like this… why? because i’m a developer and i don’t like being stalled waiting for a job call… I actually can not code, i’m still in post-operatory vacations, but i can discuss with people, i can write ideas and check over the shoulder of the guys who will highjack the whole internet to find the best solutions for our future clients.

The goal of the project, provide a complete solution for webmasters, multi-sites owners, as well as small groups and communities. no more details for now, we will have something serious after christmas!

For all the vBulletin clients of this site, you’re about 1500 subscribed members, you loose nothing. Everything that is available right now on the site is still available until our new product is released publically, and then we will offer something special for everyone.

As this site is driven by « lifetime » subscriptions, i don’t plan closing the site until vBulletin Solution stop supporting their actual 3.8.x version, as you’ll all be in need of the addons we’re releasing here. This was announced in the past, we still stick to that rule, and even if we decided to switch our back to vB, we are still supporting our stuff, and we continue releasing small addons from time to time.

I suppose that cover it all, some commercial announcements will be made here on due time.

0- we take a nude vB 3.8.4 and integrate all the existing tools to it
1- we drop a lot of things, like the products engine, the hooks, etc once we integrate all the possible addons on the market.
2- we take everything we’ve written about vBulletin 5.0 before
3- we mimic all the useful tools from WordPress, Joomla or others…
4- etc

i want to know right away who’s with me… 🙂

i have no money for this, i lost all possibilities of contract for the next months, but i am able to code and fast if i do not have to « imagine » a tool.

I don’t know how to say it without breaking the english language, but anyway…

In the last 2 days, i’ve read a lot of whiners posting their disagreement to the new vBulletin licenses and policies… and a lot of them decided to leave the vB market to switch to something different, like phpBB or Invision…

I have a large list of non-profit organisations willing to start a forum or a community, and they do not have any money to purchase a license. They usually wait for someone who is willing to donate some cash to do so…

But as i’ve read today that some guys are ready to abandon their vBulletin license to go elsewhere and as it is permitted to switch a license owner to another, i would like to ask if you guys would be ready to donate your licenses instead of making the pleasure to IB to see you vanish simply…

You would be listed as donator to these non-profit groups, as well as having the honnor to help social groups having a place on the web…

I hope to have your attention guys, you have a conscience, and i am proud to say that most of the vBulletin license holders have more human sense than others.

vBulletin Solutions™ plan to rework the calendar as part of the 4.x generation… not in 4.0, maybe not in 4.1 or 4.2, but they have a slot for it…

That may be the moment for this product to raise his hand over the 4.x generation right now and bring new life to the calendar inside vBulletin.

Having a complete integration between the calendar, the forum, the member albums, the blogs the cms, and even the project tools, is the biggest dream of any forum admin…

The End User:

Imagine putting a date for any photo entered in your album, and seeing a note about that photo in your member’s calendar. same if you enter a blog post, it will show in the timeline of your member profile…

Actually, checking in your own userCP to see the calendar, you would see all your blog, photos, projects and events, in a single place, tagged with the proper color, with previews on hover, etc… and if you activate it, your profile would also contain the same kind of element, a calendar with viewable events, entries, photos etc. a timeline in your profile, that would be the most advanced calendar you could see on the market.

And what to add to a Event Discussion, you could simply link one of your album to that event… it is really simple, when you create/edit an album, you simply enter the eventid in a field, and tada… when you go to that event discussion, your album is linked to it *(see « linked photos » in the event description)

Personal Events:

As for the blog and photos, you can create basic events called « personal », which are usually anniversaries, birthdays etc. If tagged as public, they may show in the list of birthdays in the calendar, if indicated as a birthday… there is a list of type of events that you can customize depending on your forum type.

The Forum:

Inserting an event in a specific forum, event related to a specific calendar, and viewable by permission, discussed by permission andwhere you can add attachments of any kind… millions of forum members would like to see that.

On the fly edition of the event status, like closed, sticked or moderated, like anyother thread of your forum… because it is a thread, linked to an event. If you have access to posting in that forum but do not have permission to post in the calendar, you see the restriction instead of being blanked after posting…

Ranged or Recurring events, how great with a forum, as you can decide to stick a recurring event, or close a thread when the ranged event is finished/passed… The discussions are still present in the forum display, but are considered featured on due time only, as it is already when reading the list of events on forumhome.

Subscribed threads are also subscribed events, so you receive a notice when your event are coming …

Social Groups, when you hit us…

someone use the SG? how about a list of events for that group, each event linked to a discussion. When you create a group, you also give permission or not to the members to add new events. as a group author, you always have that right by default IF usergroup permissions say so.

Adding events and a minimalist calendar to the SG would make it much more the Yahoo Groups now, and as you can put postponed events as well, it’s good to tease the members.

The Blogs:

The blogs already contain a specific calendar, but it is minimal… what would be to have a timeline the same way the actual calendar has, with some extras… you can post postponed events and make them show the day you wish… *(forgot to say, the threads related to events can do the same, by permission)…

A real timeline for your posts, and a display of « regular » blog posts and « blog events » which are not used for the same reason…

Open a RSVP ticket please:

Based on permissions, all events could have a RSVP ticket to fill, with details like the number of invited people, moment of arrival, approval, and custom fields you can add. When viewed as a thread, the RSVP would display below the firstpost where you read the event, based on permissions.

and with the CMS, what’s up…

I don’t know for you, but the CMS is the place where to show a minimal calendar, and have a block to list the recent events… we can also have a block of the latest anniversaries… anything is possible. And if you tag one of your personal event as an anniversary, it will list as an regular anniversary, with permissions.

« The Postponed Events » in Forum are great for the CMS, as you can post postponed events that will show on due time, even if you are not online.

…

This is a partial description of what are the new capabilities of the Calendar Integration Bundle pushed inside vB 4.x…

We need some discussions around this, requests and suggestions too… let’s start today!

Ok so I just saw this https://unpapapro.com/officials/they-got-me-im-hit-i/5330/… What does this mean for us? Is the « vb 5 » totally out of the picture? Also I have been holding off on a lot of custom work because I was holding out for this.. Should I still?

Sorry for all the questions lol

There is no global prune of PMs in vBulletin… you have to do it per user, by hand… heavy.

Also when you import a new forum and your pm quota is different from that other forum, PMs are deleted without updating the counts… this is to avoid dB lock on large forums, but it’s obviously something useful.

Some guys here faced that situation, where there was an alert of new PM and there was nothing to see in the PM, and the system still tell their inbox is full so they can not post anymore… i’ve received reports of that situation lately, so i know what’s the point.

So i coded something for ImpEx last year, as well as i released it for my clients in the old time… but i think it could be useful to have it as a product…

So in the next days, i’ll finish updating the script, line by line because i still can’t code and i write slowly. I tested a version today, and it seems to work properly, so i’ll fix a real file for it, as for now it’s a patch… 🙂

what it does?

simply delete all the old PMs depending on how much days old you want to keep the newests. Then it delete the pmtext and tracker… then to finish, it reset all pmcount for all users and recalculate them all… 🙂

Une autre idée de hack ^^

Il arrive (je parle de mon cas) que nous devions fermer un sujet, en ensuite de supprimer ce sujet pour X raison, le souci, et que lors de la fermeture du sujet, l’admin fourni une explication dans le post de fermeture

Exemple: Demande d’aide – vBulletin-Ressources

Dans ce cas, j’ai du fermer le sujet et dire a son auteur de lire nos règles de présentations et de faire des titres explicite. Afin que l’auteur lise se sujet, je suis obliger de ne pas le supprimer de suite. Ce qui est gênant, ce que dans X jours et encore, si j’y pense, il faudra que je supprime ce sujet inutile, chose que je ne ferai sans doute pas car je n’y penserais plus.

Pour notre support, nous avons ajouté une option qui permet de fermer le sujet après avoir répondu (c’est bien pratique), une option avec une délai de suppression automatique permettrais de supprimer automatiquement le sujet après X heures ou X jours.

En gros, on répond au sujet en disant « c’est pas bien mon gars .. », on coche la case permettant de fermer le sujet après réponse (voir screen) et il faudrait un texterea afin d’ajouter un délai de suppression automatique.

Voila, c’est une idée .. 😉

Ceci n’est pas une demande d’aide, mais une idée de hack ^^

Par défaut, vBulletin ne permet que de mettre des sujets en « important », « vote », afin que ceux-ci soit mis en avant, ca, c’est une chose.

Ensuite, il existe une modification qui permet de séparer les sujets important des sujets dit « normaux » (voir screen)

L’idée de ce hack est de pouvoir créer des catégories dans les sujet (forumdisplay).

Dans le screen du dessus, on voit « Les sujet Important », et en dessous « Les sujets du forum », pourquoi ne pas avoir la possibilité de pouvoir crée d’autres catégories ? Suivant le thème des forums, cela pourrais être très utile.

Encore mieux, utiliser les préfixes, ils permettent de trier les sujets en fonction de leur préfixe, et si on ajouter une option lors de la création d’un préfixe et mettra celui-ci en mode « catégorie » et donc crée une partie avec un titre dans le forumdisplay, comme dans le screen avec « Les sujets Importants » afin que tout les sujets qui aurons se préfix apparaissent dans ce tableau précisément.

A creuser …
