Will place your Private Messaging pages in their own shell, outside the UserCP.

As you can see here, it’s a complete rewrite of the Private Messages page, outside the UserCP Shell, and with a different way to show the Messages Listing — based on most of the emailers we know (search fields on top, not in the bottom)

Here is the only setting you have to change if needed, it is located at:

Admincp >> vBulletin Options >> Private Messaging Options

Can be completely recustomized as it’s template based.

no template edit, no file edit. All plugins.

• no more need of the TMS engine to edit the usercp sidebar… in the USERCP Sidebar, the Private Message block will vanish in all situations.
• folder jump now works
• confirmed/unconfirmed alert is now showing on top, in its own box
• sidebar title is now « Private Messaging »
• sidebar folder names now go bold when you’re in them (css typo corrected)

I’ve been asked lately if it was possible to have free addons and support on the site when it comes online again. The answer that i could possibly give is « no », because of some obvious reasons, but it’s not a solid no…

There is a place where support and addons are free, in the Freebies forum, where we release minimalist products.

You have to remember that vbEnhancer.com is not about free releases of products and hacks. vBulletin.org Forum is the place for free stuff, and it will always be that way. vbEnhancer.com is a place for our commercial-size releases, paid products and professional support.

To avoid misinterpretation of the situation, let say that we guaranty the support and service by offering referred and approved staff to help you on your forum. This is not a freelancer’s directory, but a place where coders are paid for the work they execute.

A lot of products released here are free in form of « distribution and updates ». As a good example, our first release, iTrader, was free at first on vb.org, and is still released as a free product. The support for the free release will still be free, and we keep it updated for free as well.

The difference comes with the addons to the product. If we release some commercial addons for it, they will not be free, and their support will not be free either. Different prices can be applied per releases, and it is not a format to be discussed.

Same for our Multi-Type Forums engine, which will have its core completely free, but each « Type Addon » will be a paid product. The core is free for one reason: your prefered coder can create new addons for it, without being forced to go thru our own site. The files are uncrypted, anybody can provide suggestions and tweaks for it for free if they wish, because we will also have a « MTF Freebies » forum once released.

So that’s about it, we provide some products for free, but do not wait for free support, we’re not focussing on that, and this is a good guaranty for you that you will be answered by approved and efficient coders for which the coding task is a real job, not a hobby.

Ok, i was working on the releases engine and i was thinking about addons to that that would use MTF apis. That is when it finally clicked to me that sub-types should probably be added. In the forum options page it would add another field say ‘Secondary Forum Tyes’ and you could check off other types that have a defined option that allows them to be secondary. I think nexia you mentioned this before but it never « clicked ». So what do you think?

Oh and btw secondary types could only add fields they can’t change templates.

What does this do?
This hack extends the capabilities of iTrader a great deal. For starters, it supplies a mainpage where you can view recent
ratings, highest rated members, lowest rated members, stats in general, and more. It also supplies a page where you can view
all members and their itrader stats. One of the best features this gives is the ability for people to show what they are selling
and what they are buying at the moment. Using these set fields, users can then click a « find a customer » link, or a « find a seller »
link that will bring up a perfect match for them.

What does this hack add to the functionability of iTrader?

• Mainpage – Which includes the following
  • iTrader stats for site in general
  • Recent Ratings
  • Top Traders
  • Hall of shame (lowest rated traders)
• A search where you can see all traders and some stats/info
• The ability for users to have an option for « What they want to buy » and « What they are selling », which allows for the following:
  • A page where they can edit these fields.
  • A « Find A Customer » page that matches what they are selling with what someone is buying
  • A « Find A Seller » pahe that matches what they are buying with what someone is selling.

Here on vbEnhancer.com, we are proud to take-over the products and work from coders and designers who left the market, because we think that these products worth being recovered, released and supported for the wealth of the vBulletin websites.

You can already see this action in the Workshop because we display all the releases with notation/credits for the original authors of each of these releases.

So if you are a coder, owner of some work that worth being updated to the latest vB version and supported on this site, you are invited to communicate with me via the « Contact Us » form, we will discuss how it is done.

note: we are not monetarising free products takeovers. We are the ones offering updates, support and followup, we’re not doing it for the grace or profit, these are free addons anyway, we are not paying for these.

Each of our products have its own sub-forum in the Workshop, and that’s not only for a better browsing, it’s for specific support.

When you have a problem regarding a product, instead of posting your question after someone’s reply, start a new thread on your own. It will be checked and answered properly, and will be easier to track for you and for us. The permissions here are set so you can not reply to someone else’s thread in the releases forum anyway. Only staff can do. This is good, so only the approved competent staff will give you answers on your questions, making sure you have the right solution at hand.

Each request is considered important, but if they are just added to someone else’s discussion, we can not track who’s in need of support and who’s just posting for the pleasure of posting… we have a lot of products released, we can not read each message personally.

note: if for a reason you consider that you need to add a reply to someone else’s thread, use the « Report Post » button and send us your reply, it will be transfered properly if we see it fit. But remember also that WE are the ones to offer support, The Workshop is not a community support forum.

ok, so i have most of MTFs back-end code down and now working on having the templates work with the back-end. This sounds good but i have not down any work with the MOTM and i was wondering if it would even be needed for the version here. It definitely should be in the public release because you know people would request it. Then eventually after the public release is out maybe a week or two later we can just upload it here (and probably turn MOTM off).

So how does this sound?

is it possible, when we edit a forum, that when we use the dropdown menu to have a reload/submit of the page, so the users are not messed with wrong settings?

actually, when you submit the form in the basic vB, we are redirected to the forum listing, which is pathetic.

i know that a select redirect is easy, we just do this:
[html][/html]

but it does not submit… so the changes are not done… have to find something to ease the pain of our clients.. 🙂
