I'm looking for someone to help me restore a 10 year old vBulletin add-on. It was last used on a v3.8 board and stopped working when php5 was released. I have upgraded to v4.2.5 and would like to restore the add-on but I don't know how. The coding may be very outdated, so I'm not sure how much work it will take but I am willing to pay anyone who can help me get it running again.

Contact me for more details about the add-on if you are interested.

This is the wrong location for paid work but you'd be better off having someone code a new modification than trying to make one ten years old work.

Where can I post for paid work? Can a moderator move this please?

It's not really just a modification, it's an add-on RPG creation system. It's fairly complex and has it's own files and admin cp and everything. I don't think it would need to be completely re-coded, maybe just the scripts that are deprecated in the newer versions of PHP. Other than that, from what I can see it just needs to be able to hook into the vBulletin. The database and everything is still there.

You can create a new thread in this section: https://vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30

If it's a large vBulletin 3 add-on that has a lot of templates then it will be quite some work. All templates will need to be updated to work with vBulletin 4 (different template structure), probably some deprecated PHP function calls need to be fixed and maybe a couple other things.
