there was one before 3.5, but it was crap and hardcoded…

vBulletin Content Management System (vBCMS) – vBulletin Community Forum

looks like everybody’s dream is on the path… i mean, pathetic…

our main target now is to be their essential addon… MTF will be essential to that CMS as they need blocks, features, addons… so we need this to be the best crap IB/Jelsoft will need to buy.

Well right now in MTF there are no template edits but I use str_replace on the vbulletin->templatecache variable. There have been no problems but i read this vBulletin.org Forum and it kind of made me think should we just have template edits?

I’ve read a ton of complaints on vb.org about the lack of support, bad administration, blah blah…

I DON’T CARE

You have to understand that i did not open this site to compete vb.org. We are two complete different entities with complete different goals.

So please do not bring your vB.org stuff on my site, i will likely delete or lock the discussions… if you have to complaint about any of the Jelsoft possessions, just go to the company.

I do not say i’m ok with the situation, i just say that my site is not the place for debating vB.org’s situation.

Seperate Main forums (categories) with style. Replace the default vB to fit a better width.

You can see the result on this site, on the forumhome page, and in each categories where you see sub-forums.

First, it seperate the categories on home page.

Second, it replace the DEFAULT thead of the forumbit listing on FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY templates so you can choose the width of the « lastpostby » block.

This is one of the most requested feature for the admins who use the default vBulletin templates for forum listing.

in AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> Forum Listings Display Options, you now have this part:

Many visitors were hit by a sudden wall lately, because the site was closed impulsively in late october, for no apparent reason. We are now reopening the site, with 5 months of evaluations, negociations and upgrades.

More than 100 000 lines of code have to be checked out because we have the biggest repository of vBulletin products on the market and i’m actually the only one on task.

A lot of small enhancements are switched from paid to freebies, for the pleasure of the clients here. A lot of new enhancements are to be added to the list of paid scripts too, because i am now handling more copyrights on abandonned products. These will be added continuously to the database when the codes are complete and upgraded to the latest vBulletin version *(3.8.x actually)

Some coders are joining the party in the next days, the complete list of the staff will be displayed when we’re ready to open. We plan a re-open in the first days of march, even if we are unsure of the day, because we have some systems to check before that.

But you are welcome to visit and make some requests.

I was witting some of the base engine (the OOP part) and i was wondering if i should use the PHP 5 standards or allow backward compatibility? If we do require PHP 5, we can make a much powerful engine.

the automatic-tags thing on vb.org is just crap. it use the thread title to generate tags. logically this is pointless, and even google is against the idea. it bring nothing to the meta search, it bring no real resumé of your thread, and it is not bringing real tags anyway.

My idea is different, when you create your thread, once it is posted you can see the Tags area in the bottom of the page — usual process… the difference come by the script i will post soon.

In the same path than tagthe.net – Webservice that tags your resources the little tool would simply be a little button in the « Edit Tags » field, and it would generate a list of tags depending on the thread title and first post content.

The logic will be the one of google keywords generator, using % of height in words to generate the most important keywords in the list and make them tags. It will not generate the list officially, but will just add the results in the « Add Tags » field, seperated by commas. The user can then choose the ones to keep.

The engine coded (in OOP) will be reusable in a cronjob, if you want, to force per-forum the generation of X tags per threads that do not have a tag stored.

if you see a lot of updated threads these days, it’s because i re-post the older releases, with new screenshots, newer product files, and descriptions… lol

i posted the Freebies, which are simple, quick and dirty addons… i minimize the list of paid products from my list because they are the only ones which will be « supported »… the freebies need no update or support. and they usually are small tools of 10 lines and smaller…

This will simply calculate the average posts per day a member have on the forum, and display it below the « last visit » in the navbar.

The usage is simple… a lot of sites are asking their members to be very active on their forum or they get lower permissions etc. This little tweak will tell the users if they perform as requested!

— This one is again a no template/files edit. simply upload the product, and tada!
