I got some free time so, what big hack would you like

[C.Birch]

if you could have one big modification made for your board, what would it be and what would it do?

[Paul M]

An articles hack, take a look at v3articles to see the sort of features.

[Amaranth]

A Photocast hack, using RSS feeds of photos from flickr, iPhoto, Picasa etc. to populate a forum gallery based on something like https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92875&highlight=gallery

[Ohiosweetheart]

A journal hack that works with php 5 and mysql 4.1.14

[kall]

Private and Public Events that have their own thread and an RSVP list.

Members can invite others to their Event via a link in the Postbit or Profile dropdown.

Events "area" (forum) shows public events and Private Events that members have been invited to.

Etc.

[Reeve of shinra]

I'd second the one that Kall mentioned since I could use probably use that.

vb Wiki?

[Dutchmang]

I'd love a hack that sets up e-mail accounts for users when they register, and creates a Webmail UI. Actually, I'd give up the second if I could get the first, there are lots of Webmail programs you could easily plug in.

The thing that I would love nearly as much is for someone to do CommBull (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97809&highlight=commbull) right. I never got it to work without intensive manual editing and the developers are not interested in any further improvements. I give them credit for being honest, but I also gotta think that a really first-class product would get something rounding to 100% usage.

Actually -- a real admin-generated update, not just newsletter/subscription routine, should be part of the core.

[mastersite]

a hack like sitepoint's marketplace.

MediaWiki is going to be quite difficult, although a bridge available for Invision Power Board bridge seems to accomplish what seems like seamless integration to the user. I'd be happy with good PMwiki integration, though.

Really, there's enough RPG hacks. I think a GOOD Wiki integration hack could end up being one of the most popular.

Advanced Redirect (in addition to new default 3.6 remove redirect)

- include forum name with redirect thread Title

Multi quote option for advanced Reply

- Have quote icons in posts showing below Reply interface
I'm concerned that the new 3.6 multiquote is going to lead to more confusion and potential abuse at our site.

How much free time do you have hehe ;)

[G_Man]

I don't know if this is difficult Hack or not or how much interest others have in this, but...

I'd like the LAST page of each thread to display the last X (preferably set in ACP) number of posts. This way you can scroll up and always have those posts visible without having to go back and forth between the last two pages when there are only a couple of posts on the last page.

An articles hack, take a look at v3articles to see the sort of features. I 10th this or whatever number we are on. :) V3Articles Please :banana:

VBGeek looks like forums with articles in them, that is my main point of contention with VBGeek.

Look at this example of Articles and tell me if it looks like a message board post or a professional looking page?

An articles hack, take a look at v3articles to see the sort of features.

I've actually made my own article addon as I'm integrating page with vBulletin. It's not using the post table but it's own with full caching, categories, article pictures and stuff. If someone is interested I may release it as a public addon :p

[3z3k3l]

I am interested, I am Interested! :)

I checked out your site, those articles look pretty good.

Do you have a list of features you can share and yes please release it! with a donation button cause youll have my support.

Sorry I've not replied to your email but I'm quite busy on puting new page live and some live match projector things have to be fixed asap. Anyway, back to thing.

1: That is _temporary page_ and that article system is not what I was talking about.

2: The one I've been talking about has following features:
- posting them via acp in wysiwyg mode,
- option to enable/disable comments
- option to publish or save as draft
- date/updated info so your users can see which articles have been updated recently [it offers option to change link color on the article list or add [Updated!] text (it can be changed via phrase system).
- comment of the day where you can set interesting comment to be shown in all articles (or only the one where it was posted).
- similiar articles
- unlimited pictures for each article with description and author switched like on CNN.com (via these << previous | next >> buttons)
- storing pictures in db/filesystem to be used in articles along with dateline, description, keywords, thumbnail and autor).
- option to set article as "headline" for which you can specify bigger photo and intro text (like on CNN.com -> breaking news)
- author is a text field so you can type whatever you want (with your username as default) but userid is saved too.
- source/based on fields.
- article rating, unlimited number of assigned categories (each of them can be parented).
- you can disable comments globaly in some category or in whole system
- new bitfields for users (canpostarticles, canuploadphotos etc.).

Basically thats it.

edit: I forgot about posting articles only for specified language. I'm administrator of the European football club and a lot of foreigners visit us so we have to post also articles in english but that would be stupid if also polish users would see them. So you've a dropdown where you can select a language of the article. I'll add some screenshots of ACP as I've to slice layout asap too :/

[3z3k3l]

Those features are great but it sounds like it has Ed Zachary Diesease....

It seems to have Ed Zachary what we need! ;) Please release or I will release more unfunny jokes. lol

[gulldarek]

I've already decided that I'll release it, not sure how...

1) as an article system only
2) or whole page management suit [articles, galleries, polls, custom pages, anchors and stuff]

Oh, I'll post some screenshots tommorow as I'm finishing layout work.

[Hornstar]

I would love this to be made, I just requested it here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=119397

It is a subscription modification which would allow us to select how long the subscription will last in multiple forums.

Nope.
I was using cinqs articles but it was never converted to 3.5 :(
I have purchased one of the geeks hacks, but the articles one is missing a little too much at present (for what I want anyhow).

As for the gallerys, I looked at a couple.
The one I like had to be a little too expensive of course... :(

Something similar to photopost would be great.

[Hornbone]

I think a very cool and useful hack would be pre-defined replies for administrators.
You can place them as drop downs right above the Quick Reply box. This would
be a true blessing for any one using a forum for customer support.

how about an updating profile picture in user cp??

[kira]

I'd like to second Dutchmang's request for a fully featured CommBull replacement. A newsletter that can be customized with latest forum discussions, upcoming events, news, etc. -- and allowing for HTML or plain text mailings.

One of the most useful hacks in vbland, IMHO.

[lucky123]

for those wondering what one is...

A clickwrap agreement is a page or window that appears before the user is allowed to perform a certain function (in particular for uploads) which states the terms of an agreement. The user will not be allowed to proceed until he has clicked in a box to indicate he has read and accepts the agreement.

<div style="text-align:center;font-weight:bold;padding-top:15px;padding-bottom:15px;font-size:9px;">By Clicking Enter you Agree to our <a href="terms.html">Terms of Use</a> and <a href="privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a>

Article System v3article

[workplaybiz]

I need:

MOST IMPORTANTLY
An autoresponder sequence that will allow someone to expand vbulletin's current e-mail system. It will allow people to use their admin cp and write a series of e-mails and then have these e-mails sent out at a pre-set interval (daily, weekly, monthly) to people who agreed to recieve them. When people sign up at the website they will opt-in to these e-mails and they upon confirming their e-mail address and becoming a registered user will immediately recieve day 1's email. The second day that they have their account they will recieve day 2's email and so on and so forth... I have searched for a long time for something like this and can't find it. I would appreciate it if you could make it. I would even pay for it if needed.

I also need:
A Course Management System like moodle, with quizzes, classes, designated forums and a paypal module for paid classes with support for video, audio & text based lessons would be great. Or, you could just integrate Moodle & vBulletin.

A way to have unlimited length paid subscriptions. The current system only allows subscriptions for a few years in length. I would like an option where I could set it and forget it and not have to ever manually override the system.

A clickwrap agreement or a page or window that appears before the user is allowed to perform a certain function (in particular for uploads) which states the terms of an agreement. The user will not be allowed to proceed until he has clicked in a box to indicate he has read and accepts the agreement.

An affiliate program for paid memberships. This would include the affiliate manager script, an add-on to the user-cp or a separate system that would allow affiliates to choose their ads and view statistics. It would pay people by paypal every month for a set % of the membership fee * The number of members they referred.

[Make Money?]

I'm telling ya'll the best addition to a social community would be a real tagging system.

*shrug*

Yep!

1) Rainy dull day? - click on the "humor" tag and read through some funny stuff.

2) Interested in one subject? Click to search that tag - and get a selection of threads & posts that the admin has decided are the very best on THAT subject

3) Users always nagging for one central place to find one subject? (but making a forum for it doesnt fit your sites layout? - Make a tag catagory for that subject - tag any threads or posts relating to it - and you will never be bothered by your users for it again!

Tagging - will help users MINE THE GOLD buried in your forum!

Tagging will make users information rich and happy users make a sucesssfull forum!

Searching popular tag catagories - would be a great way for a new visitor to experience a forum.

"Hall of fame" / "best of" tags would be fun too!

[R.Murphy]

If you are still looking for a hack to make, how about a betting hack which can use an odds (eg 5/1), decimal (0.32) or the other type of betting odds (eg +3 points). If this could be made to work for 3.6, that would be great :D

Did you get it to work on 3.5.5? I seem to got everything working except for being able to bet on the events even though I set the option to "Yes" for "Able to bet on events?" in both the usergroup and forum permission. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Sorry, this is in reference to vBookie.

[Quarterbore]

vbookie works for me on 3.6 Gold... Did you remember to go to the vbplaza download and get the necessary vbplaza pluggins and product that allows vbookie to work? Without adding the OPTIONAL files vbookie would not work on your site... (assuming you use vbplaza this all is)

I have been up most of the night and I am going to just program my own "Products Script" as I have no idea why Brian never released this for sale but I have enough skill to get a version done...

A hack to integrate vBulletin with Joomla or Mambo

[itrends]

A decent shop hack. Or better yet, a decent cubecart integration hack they puts cubecart into your forums.

Cubecart is simple and clean with very few templates making it far easier to do this than with say x-cart or oscommerce. There are only about 3 or 4 template files. Essentially, get it to run the header and footer of the forums, tie the database of users together and bingo, full shop for vbulletin. :)

That, would be my number one request!
