What are the features that you would dream of? – vBTEAM Underground

read this, you will see that the principle is very easy to execute… basically, if i do it right, this product itself could be sold to a great number of « relatives » forums… the only thing we really need is the structure of the forums, how it is displayed, and how sub-forums can altern with the others.

i would think to add a block inside each sub-forum with a reversed sub-forum tree… instead of just showing the sub-forum of the forum itself, it also display the parents, in order… inversed… i suppose it’s logical to say it that way.

the guy who asked it in the thread i started on vbteam.info is ready to pay for the whole thing, not just use it for free like i suggest to offer the CORE of MTF only for free so they can play with it… so it’s a client.

Ok, MTF is pretty much done. Right now I’m testing and making code more efficient. I would say it is done but still in a beta phase. We really shouldn’t release it for March 1st (it needs more testing then that). I think by March 7th we could do enough testing to declare it ‘stable’, and this means we will need to have the three basic addons done (links, articles, and albums right?).

ok, here are some news i share with you guys… 🙂

1- i’m creating a small style for the site, and the logotype will look like this:

the tagline would be better with a blinking « UP », but i prefer simple.. lol.. it means « did you check if your site was the best in town today? if not, see what we got for you! »…

🙂

the style is minimal, i want people to see the real impact of our products on a clean vB so they see if it fits their site — rare are the sites with a really customized style anyway.

…

2- i’ll post more News today.. lol

there was one before 3.5, but it was crap and hardcoded…

vBulletin Content Management System (vBCMS) – vBulletin Community Forum

looks like everybody’s dream is on the path… i mean, pathetic…

our main target now is to be their essential addon… MTF will be essential to that CMS as they need blocks, features, addons… so we need this to be the best crap IB/Jelsoft will need to buy.

Well right now in MTF there are no template edits but I use str_replace on the vbulletin->templatecache variable. There have been no problems but i read this vBulletin.org Forum and it kind of made me think should we just have template edits?

I’ve read a ton of complaints on vb.org about the lack of support, bad administration, blah blah…

I DON’T CARE

You have to understand that i did not open this site to compete vb.org. We are two complete different entities with complete different goals.

So please do not bring your vB.org stuff on my site, i will likely delete or lock the discussions… if you have to complaint about any of the Jelsoft possessions, just go to the company.

I do not say i’m ok with the situation, i just say that my site is not the place for debating vB.org’s situation.

Seperate Main forums (categories) with style. Replace the default vB to fit a better width.

You can see the result on this site, on the forumhome page, and in each categories where you see sub-forums.

First, it seperate the categories on home page.

Second, it replace the DEFAULT thead of the forumbit listing on FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY templates so you can choose the width of the « lastpostby » block.

This is one of the most requested feature for the admins who use the default vBulletin templates for forum listing.

in AdminCP >> vBulletin Options >> Forum Listings Display Options, you now have this part:

Many visitors were hit by a sudden wall lately, because the site was closed impulsively in late october, for no apparent reason. We are now reopening the site, with 5 months of evaluations, negociations and upgrades.

More than 100 000 lines of code have to be checked out because we have the biggest repository of vBulletin products on the market and i’m actually the only one on task.

A lot of small enhancements are switched from paid to freebies, for the pleasure of the clients here. A lot of new enhancements are to be added to the list of paid scripts too, because i am now handling more copyrights on abandonned products. These will be added continuously to the database when the codes are complete and upgraded to the latest vBulletin version *(3.8.x actually)

Some coders are joining the party in the next days, the complete list of the staff will be displayed when we’re ready to open. We plan a re-open in the first days of march, even if we are unsure of the day, because we have some systems to check before that.

But you are welcome to visit and make some requests.

I was witting some of the base engine (the OOP part) and i was wondering if i should use the PHP 5 standards or allow backward compatibility? If we do require PHP 5, we can make a much powerful engine.
