Will vbulletin ever do a portal add-on? I would love a simple front page for my forum.

You jest? I just looked at the install.txt file for portal 3.0 and it's far from being satisfactory or complete. I beleive this to be the root cause of many install problems (check out the forum, which folder do I put the scripts in askes a few members) and it's not a stupid question either, maybe they should work on it.

I have mixed feelings about portal and when it might be finished and wither I would risk commiting to my forum??? On the one hand I would love it, on the other Hmmm.

Hmmm, I'm using vBPortal 3.0 PR6 on vBulletin 2.2.0 and it seems to be working stable ;)

You can see it at work here:

It's still the best hack for vBulletin for me :D

I looked at the install script, the instructions are dire. The instruction:

Directory: /public_html.......................(vbPortals root directory)
Instead of the public_html, you can put into any sub-directory you choose.

Directory: /public_html/forums................(vBulletin root directory)
i.e. If you install vbPortal in a subdirectory called vbPortal, then it
would be /public_html/vbportal/forums.

WHAT would be? what is being referred to here, a path? what path? in the config file? where in the file?

Step 5 & 6 well more work lads, think from a newbie point of view. Alas until I see install instructions which are clear and concise I will have to leave well alone.:(


ps Crinos your forum looks great.
