Hi. I was thinking about offering a webpage for my users.
A virtual community.
I couldn't find a good php program to do it. I found alot of perl programs.

Has anyone integrated a virtual community program with vbull.

I guess I could install a perl program but my users would have to register twice.

Also. How do you feel about Digichat with vbull.

Are there any other program that are better than digichat?

Thanks.
Dave.

in my opinion digichat is really good but pricy isn't it? (can't remember) why not just use same one vB.org uses. That's a pretty good chat.

Yeah. $750 for 100 users.

I like the looks.
The chat that is used with vbulletin.org is an irc chat.

I think you have to depend on another server for irc?

With digichat you can put everything on your server.

You need a server which is running an IRCD, which can be your server or someone elses.

Would it be easy to install IRCD on my server?

Does anyone have a link to the software?

Thanks,
Dave.

I found a program here that works with vb.
It doesn't allow the user to upload an image.
I would like to allow members to create their own webpage.

Anyone tried this?

Hi.
Yep. I checked it out and it looks real nice. The only thing is I didn't see a feature that allowed the user to upload images to the page.
Most people would probably want to add an image of the family or baby to the page.

I see that they are discussing add some more features to the program. maybe I'll just wait and see if the upload option is added.

Thankyou for your time.

Dave.
