Can you Help me for free with my vBulletin site?

Nope…

go here: vBulletin.org Forum if you have a customized forum

go there: vBulletin Community Forum – Powered by vBulletin if you use a forum without modifications.

Why aren’t we helping? not because we hate you, but because we’re not the official place to do so. This place is for commercial products and general support of the releases we do here.

You can post a service request in the Meet Market, but this is for paid services, not volunteering. vb.org is the place for that!

Move Orphans to Another Forum

Always wanted to « secure » your administration process when you edited/deleted forums?… Wanted to speedup the move of thousands of threads before deleting a forum?

This engine is very simply to understand, and is missing from vBulletin. I coded the original version inside Invision Board, and when i came to vBulletin i thought it was already integrated, but even 5 years after, it’s still missing.

When you delete a forum, with the default vBulletin, here is the screen you have:

nex_move_orphans_to_forum_before.jpg

This is kind of unsafe, you know nothing about what you’re about to delete, and you have no idea what to do with it. You are forced to move all these threads before thinking to delete the forum, and you are not always sure you’re deleting the right forum… So here is the solution:

nex_move_orphans_to_forum_with.jpg

Pretty different, isn’t it?

The dropdown is the list of your forums, the exact same dropdown you have when you Edit your forum and navigate thru it to choose a forum.

Once you submit this form, your forum will be deleted, BUT before that, all the threads are moved where you choose to, or not… 🙂

Posting in a thread.

When ever I post in a thread I get the error message like I am double posting:

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 29 seconds.

This is on ‘quick reply’ I haven’t tried with an ‘advanced reply’

Just to let you know.

Thanks

Merging different accounts, Why and How?

Ok, vbEnhancer.com is a place where we merged different vBulletin support sites into a single one, and to avoid messing too much with the settings, we only merged users when they had the same email address.

So if you were a former member of one of the sites we merged with, you may see your old username somewhere and want to merge it with your new account…

The only way possible will be to PM me or Contact Us with the details of both accounts… username and email, plus your password…

Most of these accounts have no post, so it’s usually useless to merge accounts… but if you really want to do so, we can do it — remember it’s a basic feature in vBulletin, so refusing to do so it pathetic!

Calendar Events Rethink

Will give style to Ranged and Recuring Events

Here is the default display of a calendar with a Single day, a ranged and a recuring events….

nex_calendarevent_rethink-without.jpg

Here is what you get with this product:

nex_calendarevent_rethink-with.jpg

See the detail with the ranged event, a ending gray line which identify the end of the event. The recuring event is just plain blue with italic, but can be anything else. The example is simple, subtil, but that was my goal here… you can edit the product template to make a CSS with better style.

Unlist Specific Users from Reports eMails

This is a list where you put all the userid of the members/admins/super-mod who do not want to receive the email alerts on each Report or Infraction made on the forum.

This is a simple whitelist of a sort, because you may not want all the moderators to receive these reports emails… (i personally hate to have these emails, but some like them)

in the Admincp >> vBulletin Options >> User Infractions

nex_unmod_reports.jpg

Engine Updated: added the choice to send the email to different types of persons…

Showthread Stats

Show Thread Stats below the navbar (replace forum-description)

nex_showthread_stats.jpg

This is a simple hack that can be enhanced a lot by adding more stats or rules, depending on what you want to do with it. This is a really basic startup for coders with ideas!

thanks to Taragon for the dates idea!

Show Thumbnails in Attachment Popup

Always wanted to see what these images looked like in the Attachment Popup? (yeah, the paperclip you see in the Forumdisplay page)
nex_attachmentbit_thumb.jpg

The only thing that is changed is that each image attached to a thread now show its thumbnail *(if you activated the thumbnails in your manager AND if the usergroup have permission to view thumbnails)

This simple tweak will handle it very efficiently, without any dB change, no code change, no template edit… actually it’s a template replacement, which occur only when the product is active.

vbE Pre-Opening

A non-official opening is now in action. We’re accepting new members to visit and post requests and suggestions now that the site is pre-opened. BTW it is improper to think that we will execute any request before the official opening that is scheduled to be in the next weeks, before the end of the month.

I never put solid dates when planning a project, because anything can happen. We are waiting ’til the MTF engine is set and ready before making the move, and we plan on re-releasing a bunch of commercial products by then. In the next days i plan on posting more freebies, letting most of my stuff available for free and for all. I suppose i will have doubled the number of my releases before then.

a note: any interested coder/designer is now able to postulate for a situation on the site, but remember that i’m heavy to work with. It’s not a freelancer’s site, you will not have a job because of your cute smile…
