i updated vbSEO to the latest today, and aside of the great admincp they now have, the script is breaking my site… so i disabled it until further notice… people will see oldstyle urls for a period.

Hi nexy,

I must be blind but I am in the process in starting a few paid services on my forum and wanted to know where the itrader buy link is? I can see only the complimentary version and couldn’t see the full version.

vb 4 is now released, to bad Ray left.

i want if is possible one of the admins to contact me for somsthing i have in my mind and i don’t want to post it in public

Thank you in advance

People will notice in the next days that i’m re-trying to release the complimentary works at vbulletin.org.

Please stay assured that the subscription you paid here to have access to these tools stand still. Members of vbulletin.org will still have to subscribe here to receive support on these products, no matter what.

None of my products will be supported on the org, none will be upgraded to 4.0 before it is noticed here.

That action may or may not bring more visitors here, but that’s a try… good luck !!!

That’s it. after deliberating a long time about upgrading all our tools to vB 4.0 Gold, a long breath was taken to fix the decision, and we’re sticking to it. There will be no 4.0 generation of our work.

Sadly, vBulletin Solutions never offered the flexibility and opening of mind that they always advertised, and the code they deliver with vB 4.0 is just crap. The templates engine is so heavy now, that just moving our tools to that system would mean rebuilding them entirely to make them fit.

Right now, 4.0 is not replacing any of my releases, strangely, they decided to avoid copying my work to add new features to their engine. that does not mean they are not using any of my code, but the overall idea is that they leeched generally inside the vB coders community, not piece by piece.

That also mean that the tools you find on this site « may or may not » be replicated by any stupid kid of vB.org … they are searching for ideas, and i can tell that some kids are purchasing every piece of commercial script *(with pirated credit cards) to leech the codes and maybe release them for free on vb.org or vbteam — which is care less than vb.org, because it’s their goal after all.

Among the 200+ subscribers of this site, the only answer i got about 4.0 is that you will not upgrade your vBulletin installations soon, because of any reason, but mainly because you want your plugins and addons to be upgraded as well because you need them in your site. Sadly, i can not garanty you that your site will be compatible anymore if you keep running a 3.8.x, as vBulletin Solutions™ is not supporting it anymore in 1.5 year…

anyway, that’s all i got lately… i’ll continue to work on vB 3.8, and as i see things fit, i may release some additional tools in the next weeks, when i have time to put my hands on…

vBulletin Community Forum

… i was not aware of that, Ray told me for months to wait for vB 4.0 gold release so we could discuss more properly the work released on this site to be integrated to vBulletin.

I’m not interested to know if all that was planned, i will not put my hopes in a lie, i don’t care. if i read somewhere that Ray was a moron, i will shut that off… he was not…

btw, the problem lies on the fact that i was in discussion all this time with Ray, without knowing he was to leave as soon as 4.0 was to be gold. Some people here already know that we were discussing the possibility to work out the vBulletin 5.0 as soon as possible, instead of waiting that roadmap… we have been working that out for so long that we mostly forgot to sleep for months.

so now everything goes to the trash, as i’m sure 100% that Ray never had the flexibility to extend the discussion to the head office. btw i will not even take the chance to ask, people read here all the time, knowing what i think of IB/vB…

So, what’s up next?… shit.

ok, the word is heavy, but as i was not to work out the products here to be compatible to 4.0, that leave me with the result that all of the work here will be available until 3.8 is left unsupported by vBulletin Solutions, and then we will vanish.

We’re still in search of a sponsor for a new project, but we’re working it out without any finance right now, so i suppose we’ll be the only ones to have profits from it… corporately possible… 😉

more to come, when we know where our ground fail.

I’m not frustrated, but i think IB is going way too slow on cleaning their reputation, leaving a load of morons poisoning the entire community over vb.com

i got pissed off to visit vb.com, but as everybody today, i received the announcement that vb 4.0 RC1 would be released soon… so i visited the licensed members place to read that… « crap »…

vBulletin Community Forum

my answer to Dean…

ok, that’s not new to this site, we’re looking at the competitors to see what’s above and below us in the ideas…

WordPress the big and popular blog engine is to be merged to a branch called WPMU, a multi-users version of wordpress. so what’s up?…

they develop the biggest multi-users multi-engines system on the market right now… compared to them, vBulletin is just the sand under the carpet.

23 million individual installs over the globe. vB is yet to look at the asian side of things with 50 000 clients, WordPress is already the most popular blog engine in China and India.

ok, so what’s up with us? nothing, really… but i’ve been working with WordPress-Buddypress for the last month, and i think that even if they have a great market, they are unable to answer the needs. They are slow to develop final versions, Buddypress is still in planning their next version, they code slowly but surely.

so, i’ve been in discussions with Andy Peatling, the developer of Buddypress, and from what i see, our best deal would be to take a complete buddypress installed with all our prefered addons and rework it. we don’t even need to recode it completely, remember that WordPress is GPL.

in WordPress we have most of what we need to start, like automatic updates without downloads, automatic i18n, filebased templates, etc… a lot of things or so.

what WordPress needs is the professional twist i always apply to my work. better themes, better markup, better code, better plugins… there is not a single professional addon for wordpress when you browse the free directory… just « approximate » tools.

Buddypress is the best work donw with WordPress yet… merge of twitter, facebook and myspace in a single engine, plugin to wordpress mu, so you offer a load of possibilities to a social network.

but there is more than social network. if you twist it properly, it can become a great intranet for your clients, a great marketplace for shopping malls, etc…

soo…. ?!

Lo there,

I am posting here as I can’t post in the calendar forum.

I read a comprehensive post over on the VB forum by a user looking for decent calendar integration into his VB forum…
I laughed my butt off as he should come over here and have his mind warped as to what really is going down with regards to decent future development 🙂

Calendar Features needed:

Hello all,

I know this is a long question.

While I can create a separate calendar for each state and their districts I need to be able to do a few things.

Maybe vB can’t but I’m looking for any native or plug-in capability (or future release) or I’ll have to pass on vB for now:

1. Create categories (with sub-categories as a preference)
1.1 Allow events to be members of more than one category (nice but not 100% required)
2. Allow calendar event presentation by selected category
3. View two calendars at the same time with the category selected
4. Enter a start and end time for events
5. RSVP for events
6. Have a place for address entry and google maps support
7. Allow the creation of « region » or « locality » for event (or even something called « groups ») for events.

I’m looking to move somes sites from Joomla and SMF, if you look at Joomla add-in jCal you will see what I’m looking for (but they do not have an RSVP system).

Categories are important – but are needed in addition to multiple calendars.

I can create a different calendar for each state but each state will have events from one (or more) categories.

For instance if I go to PA-Eastern and select « Fishing » I should be able to see only « Fishing » events.

It would be nice if I could select the « multiple calendar view » and select PA-Eastern and PA-Western and see all « Fishing » events from both calendars.

If I could select multiple categories I could look at PA-Eastern « Fishing » and « Boating » concurrently on the same calendar.

If sub categories were employed I could look at PA-Eastern « Fishing…Fly Fishing ».

If Groups were employed I could look at PA « Groups PA-East and PA-West » with category « Fishing » (which could be used to decrease the need for many separate calendars).

Of course having the ability to enter an address may allow search by state, allowing RSVP would allow members to RSVP for and review events they plan on attending.

Thanks,
gp

This user has utterly echoed what I and a load of other forum owners would like to see.
The forum is the core. But the modules such as calendar/events/groups/event location maps etc have to be seamlessly integrated in a manner that is also easy to customise.

I know it seems that the event component is only for event organisers but that is why it’s never been properly developed for. Nonetheless, events go hand in hand with posts and from users to event organisers, loads of people need a decent implementation of this to link events/posts/cms.

I would also like to add that I feel that along with Event RSVP being mega important, I would also like to see a form of subscription where a user can set the level they wish to be notified. For example: they can set to be notified only if an event is created or they can also set to also be notified as that event is discussed.
