Ok, Drew, as you see in the archive i sent you, there is a Postfield manager… used to create new fields in the forum structure itself… it works perfect and is actually based on the Userfield generator, but instead of saving stuff in a seperate table, it edit the _forum table on the fly… this can be cumbersome if we go to the threads level when we have millions of posts, but i thought it would not be a problem with forums even if it have 500 forums… your point on this?

you want a different engine, let’s go.. i play with what i have on hands, so it was easier for me to modify vB code than invent something else.

– Think MEGA sites with hundreds of forums: Christian Forums is a target.

– Think OOP, because i do not understand a line of it.. lol

– Think Hierarchical Type detection with alterations: if a parent forum is Type-X, a child can be customized to be Type-Y… if not customized, the child receive the « child » version of the parent’s type… if there is no child version for that type, it receive the same type… until it is customized…

– Think Hierarchical Moderation level, at the opposite of vBulletin default. a parent moderator can be automatically moderator of a child forum, even if we have a moderator for that child forum. like on dmoz.org, where a parent moderator is called a META Editor, a child one is a Editor… Hierarchical Edition too, where a META can not be edited by a Editor… same in WordPress… >> this does not seems to fit as a MTF addon, because i think it’s more a complete rewrite of the actual vB structure… lol

other details to come… i like brainstorms!

that’s all about it.. lol

• Who has viewed me is a function found only in $$$ scripts. User is not only able to see who has viewed his profile, but also when and how many times. So he can easily understand that repeating visitors are much interesting for him.

• The nice, very clear in different background on listings design, for all featured members, will be a sure reason for them to pay to become featured members. Featured members also appear in random in front page and in the top of every listing’s page. Also the fact that there are so many configuration per usergroup, it’s a reason to add many subscriptions with different access level.

The late discussions with Maria were kind and friendly, i like greek women… they know where they go 🙂

btw, here is her Rights Transfer note:

you have to understand that the CEO of nexialys.net, it’s me, nexia.. 🙂

And by the time we release this suite of products, upgraded and re-featured for vB 3.8.x, we plan to deal the ownership of the rest of the collection by Mary.

Because i can not satisfy everybody’s tastes… i’m not going to modify the style thoroughly, making it completely different from the original vB style, because i want the site to be quickly upgradable, and i want it to be recognizable by all vB owners.

Btw, we have a demo forum for you to see each style we release, so you can have a look on it. All the style alterations we make here are on-the-fly with a plugin, and i usually release these alterations… for your pleasure.

And for the curious, vbEnhancer never edit the templates on the go, SO you can upgrade your style or vB without fear!
