Should i shouldnt i make this mod..

[JakeS]

Hi, i was thinking of making a modification where you can create vbulletin pages directly from the acp, ie you can just click "add new page" or somthing and it will create a brand new page and within the acp you can ad content to it etc, do you think i should make that mod?

i Would also make it for 2.x and 3.0.x and 3.5.x

[Daniel]

That's a great idea, I'd definitely install it if you did make it (for 3.5.x)!

[JakeS]

3.5 would be first it'd be combatible with because thats what my test forum and my main are.

Doesn't WebTemplates Hack do this?

[Reef]

Yeah, I use WebTemplates for that

[JakeS]

Ok if its already been made i wont bother :)

anylink to the hack as i need it for my forum..

[Corriewf]

Also vbadvanced......

[RichieBoy67]

Sounds great to me...... something simple that would incorporate header and footer etc would be great but Logicians templates do that already and I use that too.

You would have to go a few steps further and make it even easier to use I guess.

What exactly are you planning? Like a portal or similiar??

I am interested...... I would love a simpler way to add vb pages....

[JakeS]

Short description ( i aint even started it yet ;) ) - You just import a product, and you would have a new menu on your vbulletin so you can create a page with what ever you want, you could add side menus bottem menus, top ones etc i might make it so its like you can "design" a brand new page :) colours fonts everything and a preview button so u can see what ur doing. pretty simple.


i made one almost exactly like that for ipb 1.0 once, for my self keeped on makin it till 2.1.5.. only dif was the product part..

[Talisman]

This can be done with using the vBadvanced CMPS and/or vbPortal. I believe there are other portals in use that might do this too... so you might want to check into how they work as you develop this further.

[JakeS]

Yeah but this isn't going to be a portal ;)once i got a final idea for 0.1 alpha this going to be big(big script).. because i'm going to ad more to my ipb one.. still got its files :)

Basicly i'm doing an import then adding alot to it.

[FLMom]

I would definitely install :) I can't figure out cmps or webtemplates.. I need something very very easy :D

How do you make the pages? I have been trying for days, but being a noob I am clueless lol

Is there a detailed step by step manual you could point me too? Thanks!

[JakeS]

That would be anouther advantage quick an easy :P and with this one i'm going to try to have an option to either have "index.php?act=w/e here" and a file name choice and just for specialness let you have it as a html file too.

At the end of the day when i'm finished deciding what its going to be its not going to be a small mod..

EDIT:

Anouther idea, the ability to manage the navbar links within the mod so you can add them after you'v made the pages.

Is there a detailed step by step manual you could point me too? Thanks!Unfortunately, or fortunately depending upon your perpsective ;), Brian/Tigga keeps adding new features faster than he has time to update the manual.

Rather than hijack this thread, if you get a hold of me over on vBadvanced.com or send me a PM here with what exactly you're trying to do I'll point you in the right direction. :)

[Jaynesh]

Yes make it :)

Very usefull for someone looking for something simple. You could add all sorts of features with this, if you do decide to make it i suggest you add an option where you can ban certain users from a certain page :)

[JakeS]

I'll start making soon then (probly on monday)

Once i get it to 1.0 alpha i'll release it for testing.
