What makes this site run so well?

Here is the list of all the products coded by others than me that are installed on vbEnhancer.com. It’s like my colophon of some sort… 😉

Can i distribute vbE products on my vBulletin website?

The official answer is no, and the unofficial answer would me « Why? »…

This site’s sole purpose is to distribute and support everything we do and release. We do not need others to distribute our work, because we’re the only ones to be abilited to support everything.

nothing more!

Your site in our Showroom?

I’m having a great fun coding and releasing products here, and i’d like to see the result someway, so i had that idea…

This thread will host a simple list of the sites that are proud users of the products released here. So if you want to show yourself here and let know to everybody that you are happy with our products, you’re welcome to post a link to your site, and we will visit you for sure… 🙂

vbTeam… funnily…

It’s funny, KrazyFire already announced iTrader on vbTeam.info… i did not have time to tell him, so i suppose he was sleeping on the site.. lol

they have more downloads on their site, so there will be more support… but as i said to them, i’m not supporting my stuff on their site, just letting people have access to them, as it’s a second distribution point… unofficial one..

so do not panic if you see our releases there… it’s good advertisement, because they are highly ranked on google for everything vBulletin… and nobody wants to be tagged as pirate so they do not really go there for support, they will come here!

Download count for attachments not reset on attach re-upload

I hate it when the download/views count is reset to 0 when we re-upload the attachment itself… how not useful if we want to have the total of views…

so we have two solutions:

1- simply not reset the count
2- do not reset AND add a seperate count for latest re-upload

vbEnhancer.com is now officially open!

Monday 30th of march, we’re proud to announce that the site is now officially open, or re-open for the ones who visited in the past!

Mainly, this site is my home, the place where i’m releasing my tools and toys. But it’s also the place where the friends i have are hosting their stuff… a good example of that is the iTrader engine that is now released today too…

This is a gift for all the vBulletin admins who were asking for an update of that engine. You’re welcome to visit its forum and try the product!

In the next days we will release a bunch of products that needed to be updated on their original location and never were because their authors lost track of time or lost the energy to do so… you’ll see the development chart on this site that is going high and wide… just to answer your needs!

Also, in the next days, we’ll be implementing some sort of Points System with a Virtual Shop so you can purchase a list of paid scripts and a range of services coming directly from the staff onsite… Another announcement will be made about this later.

Welcome home again!

iTrader version 2.5.0, new generation now released

As announced last month, here we are today with the launch of the next generation of iTrader, version 2.5.0.

The tradition continue, we’re proud to announce that vbEnhancer is now the official host of iTrader, with a new structure, more addons and a cleaner code for the future versions.

This is just an update, because for 2.5.0 we were focussing in centralizing all the existing addons for the old 2.1 version, and we made it clear that it would be easier with a smooth update for the existing clients and an easy spleen for the new players.

So, what do we get in the box?

All the files are now cleaned and easier to debug, here is the setting page in the vBulletin Options:

  • Gio~logist’s Main Page is now integrated fully

  • A new Profile Tab

  • Completely and only compatible with vBulletin 3.8 generation
  • Refurbished templates, with new icons for ranking (positive, negative, neutral)
  • Option in your Profile Settings so you can show that you are selling/buying something
  • Force display of iTrader infos in specific forums
  • Display of iTrader Feedback Score in postbit

The thumbnail attached shows the extensive list of settings you can manage thru the regular path. as you can see, some new features have settings in the bottom of that page, they are good to look at.

And here is the form you see when you submit a new feedback regarding one of the transaction you’ve been involved in.

all without any template or file edit…

You want to upgrade, or install as new?

Easy, if you have not used any of the addons released on vBulletin.org, you simply have to upload all the new files, overwriting the old ones, and uploadthe product file, allow overwriting the product, so it upgrade to the latest.

If you have used any addon that required template edits, like the old version of Giologist Profile block or his Main Page, or if you used MagnetiCat’s Profile Tab, you will need to uninstall these first, and hopefully, we provide all these versions in the Jason’s iTrader Archive forum on top of this… (just follow the opposite of the instructions!)

So, that’s it… there is not much new instructions, as now the entire engine is self documented… you can always post a question in this forum, so you are answered as soon as needed… but also, what’s fun, is that we ask for your requests, suggestions, needs; because we want to make the engine even better for the next version, which will jump to number 3.0 …

Oh, forget the last one… rofl!

Fixes:
1- no version change, but fixed Forums Where Feedback Score is shown, thanks to breakpoint for reporting bug!
2- no version change, but fixed a database error when submiting feedback, thanks to gronph for reporting bug!
3- no version change, but fixed a typo that was causing to display no link in the postbit and no % of rating. you have to re-import the product file, nothing else!
4- no version change, but fixed a database error when submiting negative feedback, thanks to breakpoint for reporting bug! (was reported 3 times more, but never had the error, so was unable to fix!)
5- no version change, fixed an existing array_merge that was making CMPS unhappy… thanks to
gnatster for reporting it!
6- no version change, fixed a missing « escape_string » when submitting in a form… thanks to all who have reported it!
7- september 4th, 2009, update of the product file to avoid the overpassing process of step 2.5.0

8- same date, adding postbit location of feedback score.

9- september 19th, 2009. Modified the install script so it does not avoid the creation of missing fields anymore — sorry, i first given the job to someone who was proven stupid after all…
10- sept. 22th, 2009. continued to edit the install process so it makes less error in dB modifs… i hope it ends the problems…
11- oct. 13th 2009, corrected some little typos

Extra statistics on forumhome

Well, it isn’t really a request. More like a general idea bringing more interactivity in things ‘hidden’. (if available I would use/download/buy it of course)

It’s a screenshot of the ‘What’s Going On?’ box, slightly modified. The general idea highlighted in red.
