As simple as this:

Hi Mitchel, i’m the nexialys, i know you are not visiting anymore, so i’d like to know if you would let me overtake your work there and re-releasing it with updates and support on my own site?!

There is a lot of requests regarding the upgrade of the vB Event Forums hack and its addons, so i’d like to overtake this if you don’t mind…

Hi,

I am happy for you to take over my vb event forums mod. Updating it will make a lot of people happy 🙂

Thanks,

Mitch

This said, i’ll make the followup of the development of this tool on this site, not vBulletin.org, so the people interested to have it updated, will have to checking in…

This makes the username show up as the default colour set for that usergroup..

This is more a tutorial than a hack, it will not be re-released, but will be supported if you have questions…

To have Josh’s permission to release his tools here, was simple… he asked me to upgrade his work to be compatible with vb 3.7, so do i… here is the quote:

so the deal is done… i upgrade his engine, releasing it for free here, and supported for debugs, upgraded for 3.8+ when time comes!

You, as a client, do not want my work to be found in the nullified side of the net, because you pay for these and do not want to see others having them for free… this would be unfair for all anyway.

But we can not control who will leech the hacks released because they usually pay them for real and then share the files inside the dark networks. It’s a way to make friends, or to send back for a gift already given.

What can we do then? encrypt our scripts ?!… bad thing, uncrypting a script is always slowing the server, and the clients always have to install extensions to their servers that are poluting more than anything…

Raising prices so high that pirates can’t buy them?… i would loose a lot of clients at the same time.

Adding Call-back function which verify which site have installed a script?… easy to crack, even from a noob. All these verification protocols are so easy to track and break, and hackers/nullifiers eat 10 of these each morning…

So, how can we avoid having our scripts released by any hacker who could even put virus in our scripts ?!… i have a solution i used for years, and which Apple use on its side…

Because Apple™ have a deal with hackers, a NDA… (non-disclosure agreement.) Hackers do not distribute pre-offocial versions of any Apple software, and Apple provide non-encrypted official version that will never need hacking.

That’s how i do. That’s how vBEnhancer.com now do too. I was able to have a deal with the main vBulletin nullifiers, located at vbteam.info and GYSN.org, to have a non-distribution agreement.

What it does? nothing actually, that’s the deal. The guys have accepted to not try to hack or pirate my scripts. In exchange, we will see in the future… 😉

So this is an important message to any person here who would be interested to leech my stuff and offer it to GYSN… forget it, it will bring nothing good to you.

Here on vBEnhancer.com, we are providing a wide range of products for vBulletin, and a lot of these codes need testing on different productions environments… For that purpose, we’re calling for collaboration across the vB community to have the participation of volunteers who are interested to test the codes, hack them for performance and security, and to help adding more features.

We are not providing salary, as the goal is sharing the knowledge. In return instead, we provide access to the codes themselves. Once you’re in the team, you can use any code from a project for your personal usage. I know that most of the coders are interested to have more and more features on their own sites, with the best codes possible, so it’s a good way to have both.

So if you’re interested to join and want to know more about each project we have on the shelf, just contact me with the « Contact Us » form in the footer!

strangely, i did not see it in any other community manager. but on our Mac, we can give pre-access to members who are not yet logged-in our computer.

how does this work?

admin enter the email address of someone who is not yet in the list, with a keyword, and the admin select which usergroup the user will receive once connected.

So he give the keyword to that person he wants to invite, and when that person enter the keyword in the register form, using the proper email address, once the registration process is done, the user receive the specific usergroup indicated by the admin in step #1.

…

this is good for companies who have « invite only » system, but also for specific accounts for clients — like i could apply it on this site, where i invite new clients to register, and with their registration, they gain access to specific forum nobody else have access — because my clients always have their own private forum to see what we’re doing with their work to be done.

For a long time, it was merely impossible to find a place where to have solid efficient and secure services about vBulletin installation, configuration, customization, imports etc…

Now, we are hiring some great webmasters that are to be available for our clients when they need specific support or maintenance on their site.

Here are some tasks we will be able to support on your site:

• Importing an existing forum over vBulletin
• Configuration or Enhancement of your site performances
• Installation or Upgrade of your Styles
• Upgrade of your vBulletin, with upgrade of your styles
• Upgrade or Enhancement of the custom products on your forum
• Customization or Enhancement of your Styles for SEO, CSS and XHTML compliance
• Restructuration of your Administration Staff on Big Sites
• Enhancement of your visibility on other sites, with ads, sponsoring, banners etc
• Professional Posters availability listing (so you have what you need)

This list will be updated by the time we hire more staff and find other solutions for you. The plans are to start these services in the begining of 2009… the more requests we have, the more involvement we will have to make it happen sooner.

I received permissions from Mohamed Alyassi, aka UAE to release his work and take over the development for further upgrades and support… so here is how:

Bonjour, vous avez été redirigé sur ce site parce que vous avez visité vb-hacks.org et ce site est maintenant fermé.

vBEnhancer.com a pris le contrôle de la distribution des outils de vb-hacks.org, afin de continuer le support de ces outils et permettre aux détenteurs de licenses pour ces outils d’avoir un suivit à long terme.

Les choses sont différentes ici de ce que vous connaissiez à vb-hacks.org. Vous pourrez recevoir le service en français, et vous aurez accès aux outils pour lesquels vous avez payé, mais pour le reste de la formule, il en est autrement.

vBEnhancer.com ne fournit pas de support et dévelopement gratuit pour les gens qui désirent avoir un produit codé pour eux. Il existe déjà plusieurs communautés vBulletin qui le font déjà. Nous distribuons peut-être plusieurs dizaines d’outils gratuits, mais il s’agit de distribution, et non de réponses à des demandes…

Alors voilà. Vous avez accès à votre compte de vb-hacks.org en visitant ce site, pas besoin de vous créer un nouveau compte.

Bienvenue!

In the next days, after we fix the extra features given via vbCredits™, we will open a Classified section on the site, giving access to buy/sell/resell sites, scripts, content, etc… These classified will be related to vBulletin only, and they will be moderated closely.

Following Jelsoft rules for reselling licenses is important too, so each transaction will be monitored by Jelsoft if needed. (you have to contact Jelsoft to make sure you are safe!)

>> Classified does not mean service requests, as we also have a specific section of the site for these. You will be able to post your requests, and Approved coders will be able to read your requests and apply for the job, or bid on them, depending if you tag them as auctioned.
