Ok, it looks like the site is not going anywhere, it’s empty, nobody participate, blah blah blah… the usual so.

Each time a coder start a website for development, everybody think it have to be a real commercial success by the next day… The problem is that the week next to the opening, i was operated in the hand for some cyst that was breaking my hand in part… ya know, the kind of crap that transform into a cancer… So i’m at rest for another 3 weeks.

In the meantime, i was able to consolidate the bank of hacks that will be freely available when the site is really up (in the next days, even if i’m at rest), and the only thing that block me from opening the site commercially is the coding of the new MTF Releases engine… a lot more complex than planned because Gio’ decided to inspire me with some more ideas and i had to apply them before ending the development of the engine.

I did not abandon the site, even if nothing is moving really… i’m just not coding 24/7 like i used to be…

See ya all in a week or two!

–nexia!

yet another abandonned hack, please let me do it!

have to generate a new one, come on…

have no permission to update it, but i can easily branch it and make a better one… the author sold it, and the new owner have put it on auctions in goal to make money… was bet 1000$ but never sold…

I have a suggestion for a product that would be quite useful for moderators when moving threads to a ‘trash bin’.

When a moderator views a thread, there should be a link which automatically moves the thread to the trash bins, in the admincp, there should be an option to add bins, for example if you have a bin that nobody can access too.

Other additions to the script could be an option to send the user a pm, or for there to be a way for users to request the topic be moved back.

Distance

actually, vB have this stupidly generated page with a « the board is closed » message we can edit… but if the database is dead, or the site need to be closed efficiently, this is completely useless…

what good thing would be to have a switch… we have a default error page generated in error.html, and it is over-written with the new default style when the templates « headinclude, header, footer » are edited… so we’re sure it fit the look of the site anyway.

this generated error.html is linked to a .htaccess file (error 405 etc) and if the admin set the site to closed, the htaccess file is edited to redirect everybody on error.html … nothing more.

this way, even if the db is dead, the error page will display properly.

Ok, the TMS engine is very useful, and vbCredits is using it for all its modifs.. but we need our own, one that is not clustered with copyright etc, and one that is compatible with the old ones that work with TMS…

reasons:

• all our hacks use it
• all our products are template edit free
• all our products can update any style even the CSS based ones, so they need more precision…

I want the same system, but in less files, smaller to install too…

I want it to be the main part of the MTF engine, making it clearly evident that anybody using the Core File of MTF will be provided with a powerful tool.

The system have to add one main thing: complete template replacement {
when a template need an edition, instead of just having the possibility to search/replace, we provide a complete template replacement in the cache.
}

And how does the purchase of products work ?!

It is simple to know how purchasing of a product can be done: you have to buy the product inside its own thread/release discussion. For each product, you have a button « purchase » and you are indicated if you want to buy it or not. If you do not have enough credits, you are suggest to go buy more credits.

Once you have purchased a product, all attachment files provided in its thread/release discussion are now available for you. It will cost you nothing to download the files once you pay the charge of purchase. Btw, if the coder decided to make the product available with a recuring payment, you will have to pay the renewal to be able to access the downloads once the first period is done.

How much a product cost?!

We do not evaluate the value/cost of a product, as our goal is not to police the prices… if a coder charge too much, it’s all up to him/her to loose clients.

Each product is given a fixed price in the first post of its thread. All products are priced in CREDITS, nothing else. If a coder require money to be sent, please report the situation so we can fix this.

About the releases:

As all the products released here are to be verified before release, we make sure they are well coded, they provide the job they are supposed to do, they do not contain any wallhack(modify your board to pirate it) or security risk for your site. We do not evaluate if a hack worth the value the coder apply to it, you are. So if a product does not worth its cost, just do not buy it…

And what about SUPPORT ???

Sure, you can receive support for any product released here… The concept is simple: you have a question, you post it in a release thread, it will cost you 10 credits per message posted (we say it’s the salary for supporting you!). If by a big hasard the author is not responding you in a reasonable delay (hum, 10 days max?!) a staff member can have the answer. If not, we will refund you the 10 credits of your request…

And about FREE products/hacks?

The releases that are tagged as free are free to download, that’s all… as they are verified, updated and properly documented, they normally do not need any support. As this site is a commercial support platform, you are charged for the support you require.

If a product is discontinued?

As we can not control how much time a product will be supported by the author, we are providing a fair system that will secure all your transactions. If a product’s thread is closed due to the abandon of service, you are given two solutions:

• continue the access to the files and ask someone else for support
• stop the access and be refund for the value of the purchase

No release is ever deleted on this site, nor stored in a hidden place. If a coder abandon his work, some other coder will take-over the release IF NEEDED… some hacks are abandonned naturally because the features are obsolete, or are already added to a new version of vBulletin, etc…

I think that covers it all…

Introduction

This is a continuation of my Event Forums plugin/addon from 3.5. You can find the old version here. The original plugin was developed by Endquote, and I have since taken it over to bring it to what it is today. I hope you can find it useful!

What is this addon?

Sure, so whats it do?

• When a new event is created in a calendar, an associated thread is created in the linked forum.
• Links to events in the calendar are forwarded to the associated thread, or optionally a seperate New Event button can be added with a minor template edit.
• New thread links in the event forum are redirected to a new event form.
• A summary can be shown at the top of the event forum which shows the up and coming events over the next ‘x’ days.
• The date and time shown in the thread and post title, is calculated on the current viewing users timezone. In other words, times always show in the users timezone, not forced to GMT.
• Full moderation support.
• Editing a thread or event, will update its associated event/thread.

How do I install it?

Step 2

Calendar ID:
Goto your Admin CP at your forums, then goto Calendar Manager. Find the calendar you want to link to a forum, then click Edit.
Right at the top of the page you should see:

Calendar: NAME (id: ID)

Make a note of the ID, you will need this soon.

Forum ID:
Goto your Admin CP at your forums, then goto Forum Manager. Find the forum you want to activate as your event forum, then click Edit Forum.
Right at the top of the page you should see:

Forum: NAME (id: ID)

Make a note of the ID, you will need this soon.

Link a Calendar to a Forum:
Goto your Admin CP at your forums, then goto vBulletin Options and find Event Forums.
The first option you should see is Calendar/Forum Map.
Enter in your IDs into the box, as CALENDARID:FORUMID.
Example, my Calendar is 5 and my Forum is 14:

5:14

Click Save.

Step 3

Base permissions check:
You will need to check that users using the Event Forums, have basic permissions to both the Linked Forum AND Calendar.
Basic Permissions include: Can View Forum and Can Post Threads and possibly some others.

Step 4 (Optional template edit)

Add the New Event button:
You only need todo this if you want to show a seperate New Event button next to the New Thread button.

First of all, upload newevent.gif to your images/buttons folder. NOTE you will need to upload this to any custom image folders too for different styles you might have.

Second, open up FORUMDISPLAY template for each of your styles you want to show the button, find and add the highlighted code below:
Code:

 
 

Lastly, go into the Event Forums options, and change the option Show the New Event button on the thread list to yes.

Step 5

Install on VB.org:
Browse back to this thread, and click the INSTALL button so you can recieve updates whenever I update this plugin.

How do I upgrade it from an old version?

Can I give you money to make this?
