vb3 Hacks.. Who is ready? What will they be?

[FlyBoy73]

I'm a bit torn at the moment. I am right at the start of having a fully customized and heavily hacked v2.3.2 community built.. Graphics, scripts, hacks, and more..

Like many, I have been waiting for vb3's full release for a while. I guess the bottom line is I am willing to wait a bit longer to do my community "v2" if I can have vb3 AND the hacks that I need.

How many of you are already planning (if not working) on vb3 hacks that are either new or upgrades of the current vb2.x.x hacks, and what are they?

Please post so we can see what is planned for vB3 hacks!

Thanks!
David

[Koutaru]

If you visit http://www.vbulletin.nl there are already a few vb3 hacks out there :)

[FlyBoy73]

I checked them out but I am more interested in what the hackers from vb.org are planning. Especially upgrades (to vb3) of hacks currently available for vb2.x.x.

[Gio Takahashi]

vB3 has been around for almost a year, and betas has been indeed around for a good long time. This does give hackers a chance to make hacks for the forums.

I am very sure that there are a very good number of vB3 hacks out, just waiting to be released. Remember that vB3 hacks cannot be released until the Release Candidate (RC1) is released, which is I think due sometime in December.

So my bet is that there are a very good set of vB3 hacks made. Have patient. I am waiting for those hacks as well ;)

For the record, I had released a hack at vB.nl and I'm a vB.org hacker. Not to say I have released any hacks in a while since I have been busy on vB3.

[FlyBoy73]

Ok.. In that case, could you all list the hacks that you have made in this thread..?

All I have released at vB.nl was Shoutbox 1.0 (not to be confused with fury's shoutbox hack ;))

I have made other bug-ridden vB2 hacks, a list of those are in my profile.

I plan on killing all the bugs and completing the shoutbox hack, then moving on to other hacks.

[Ky Kiske]

I am waiting to port the ones I have been working to vb3 Gamma. I have a news script and a reviewing script.

I am waiting to port the ones I have been working to vb3 Gamma. I have a news script and a reviewing script.I've made:

The biggest problem I had was tapping to the WYSIWYG II Toolbar. It's took me a full month to figure out how to get it to work. Oh and using the Templates was new to me. I am a php newbie. So alot of this was killing my brain. Here's a list of some other things I am doing.

Ky Kiske's Prototypes:
------------------------------------------
1. vB3 Multiplayer Battle System
2. vB3 Exams
3. sysNews Ver. 2.1 (WYSIWYG Enabled)
4. RPG Trader's Post

[Gio Takahashi]

Damn, sounds like tons of interesting hacks are waiting to be released here. I think I will actually upgrade when Gamma comes out.

[NTLDR]

Where to start on my on-going list of vB3 hacks. I upgraded a week or two after Beta 4 came out and converted/re-wrote all the hacks that I actually used for vB2 to vB3 as well as numerous others, note I don't take credit for the origional code, idea for all the hacks.

[Zachery]

Users style in postbit(done)
Change do, f, p etc in the URLs to the long version (action, forumid, postid etc) (wtf is the point? its just a template change anyway)
Hide QRB if user was the last poster(template edit with conditionals)
Non-standard extension (eg .core instead of .php)(according to what ive talked to kier about, will be part of the gold download system)

yea >.>

[assassingod]

Change do, f, p etc in the URLs to the long version (action, forumid, postid etc) (wtf is the point? its just a template change anyway)

Uhh, no...

[Zachery]

Uhh, no...
both forumid= and f= work last time i checked there parsed globaly

[assassingod]

Not to my knowledge. But most of it is file change.

[Zachery]

http://www.digitalkore.net/vb3/forumdisplay.php?forumid=29 check that out and
http://www.digitalkore.net/vb3/forumdisplay.php?f=29

both work fine :)

[assassingod]

Im not talking about fourmid, action is the main one.

[NTLDR]

Change do, f, p etc in the URLs to the long version (action, forumid, postid etc) (wtf is the point? its just a template change anyway)

Because I like many other users prefer this method. Yes it can be done with pesky template changes, but I'd rather not customise every template and have to spend hours updating them when the next release is out. Besides I never said there was a point to it. There are stacks of hacks which IMO are pointless, what you consider to be pointless maybe usefull to many others.

Hide QRB if user was the last poster(template edit with conditionals)

I couldn't find any variable which held the last posters userid, so its a hack at least for me.

Non-standard extension (eg .core instead of .php)(according to what ive talked to kier about, will be part of the gold download system)

Lets hope so, although I'm not overly bothered now I've done it myself, saves a little processing per page though, so it would be a bonus :)

[sabret00the]

nice work lee, that's dedication for ya :)

[Zachery]

I couldn't find any variable which held the last posters userid, so its a hack at least for me.i just did it, and ill be posting it at vbt in just abit :)

[Erwin]

I've made a few large hacks for my private forums - the main one being a totally integrated custom points system, which links to Paypal, posting, avatars, sigs, and even custom homepages. I've also made my own version of the chatbox (no queries!) and lots of admin/ moderating changes. I'll release my moderating hacks once vB3 goes RC.

[sabret00the]

i was gonna make a hack where you could buy store points via paypal, you hacked into my dreams and stole my idea erwin ;) :p

[Velocd]

I have some innovative concepts in mind. I'm currently working on a portal system. I also will release my vB3 version (much more accurate) of the similar topic check (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54308).

[KuraFire]

I have about 20 major feature additions listed in my Design Plan for KFN 6, most of which will be released here. Some of them are upgrades to my existing vB2 hacks that I never released (such as Pocket Change, my own Journal system [which is far more powerful than the vB Journal thing], my Shop), some are upgrades to vB2 hacks that I did release here (Newsportal, Change Style on All pages, Ultimate Quotes Hack [going to be massively cool in its vB3 version!], etc.), and some are features that are totally innovative on the Internet and have never before been seen on any forum in existance. :)

[sabret00the]

i gotta few hacks planned for if i ever finish learning php

[KuraFire]

Finish learning PHP? You're waiting until then? Ehm..

One can never really finish learning PHP, cos like with Every programming language there is, there are always things yet to discover that you could do with it. ^_^
(I'm being nitpicky, I know :p)

[Xenon]

I'm looking forward of the vb3 Version for Store-Hack.
Not that i'd use it, as i don't need it, but it would be surely interesting to see the changes for such a big hack :)

Myself, i've prepared 1 vb3 hack already, will prepare the second one after we upgraded to vb3 Gamma, and then when i find enough time, i'll port over all of my vb2 hacks, and maybe i'll release some of the vb.org Hacks i wrote :)

So it will be a very "releasing" first month i fear, poor mods here ;)

[Ky Kiske]

everyone and there brother is doing a CMS / news system

however im intrested in vB3 Multiplayer Battle system

I know everyone does this when they start but for me sysNews was a big step since I am also using the vb3 WYSIWYG II Toolbar. Plus It's alot more big to me since I started learning php 2 months before vb3 Beta 3 came out. Oh am my multiplayer Battle System...still don't know if I am going to release that. I want to but it might stress vb3 users on servers with low bandwidth.

[Dan]

I've already ported over a few hacks to vB3 but the main one is my Now Playing Hack :D

[KuraFire]

Yup, but I've yet to see a single news system announced by anyone here that is going to be revolutionary. So far I've only really seen the same thing in various displays, essentially.

Good thing mine won't be anything like that ^_^

vBindex is fairly revolutionary, with it's re-arangeable side-blocks, sidebar alignment etc...

I don't call that revolutionary at all, no offense.

That's (as far as I can tell from your description and from what I know of vBindex) mostly just template-issues and have very little to do with the php code.

i can do that with mYvBindex and vBadvanced its just some html and where it goes >.>

[sabret00the]

@kura it's just a matter of assigning an id in the database and then using that id for the side templates you can then choose the roder via a form in the acp, not hard to do, but revolutionary as far CMS's go

(I'm being nitpicky, I know :p)lol, be nit picky it's good, when i do start releasing hacks, i'll make sure you're the first person to say wow at my 1337 skills but i should atleast finish my book before i start releasing hacks, my understanding has increased 10fold and so i offer alot of ideas here and there around the forum but as far making a whole hack, i'm a little way off yet :(

[sabret00the]

[Zachery]

nope, but this doesnt make it any more special IMO

[sabret00the]

lol, i hear what your'e saying but it does get the 'revolutionary' sticker.

[Ky Kiske]

I want that sticker...really I do.

if you call that revolutionary already, you'll be most pleasantly surprised when I release mine. :)

[SmEdD]

I'm gonna make you keep that promise! ;)

from what I've seen so far, what I'm about to do is never-done-before, though I think rylin is developing something similar to this....

[sabret00the]

can't wait to see it, need to get rid of the rest of these stickers :) lol

i got a hack coming up that will be awesome, especially if someones running a gaming or anime site, they'll love it, but it takes time, especially with my level of php, i figure i'll get half way through my book, go back and make a few of the hacks i've requested then i'll start on my bigger hacks, but i'm really excited by the progress i've been making and think that i could come up with some great additions.

[KuraFire]

Sounds good :) Looking forward to seeing what you've got in mind, I'm a game and anime fan and have 2 sections for such on my forums.

My new site is going to have a feature that will be REALLY useful for sites that have games or anime or so as their topic. ^_^
