I'm looking for a hack (integrated with vB Advanced/vBulletin) that will store and publish to a vb style web page comic book character bios.

I'd like to enter the character information in the vb admin cp. And I'd like to have the following fields for input.

i.e.

<picture of character here>
Name:
Secret Identity:
Height:
Weight:
Hair Color:
Eye Color:
Team Association:
Powers and Abilities:
Brief History:

Oh and while I'm asking for the moon.. a way for users to submit character bios would be great too. :D

I have one made for my site, but I'm not through with it yet. There are still a few bugs in it. All you really have to do is amke a form and php script that will put info in a database, the call it on a page that uses vB templates. Example:
http://www.thekryptonian.com/smallville.php?action=bios&bio=clarkkent
http://www.thekryptonian.com/thebatman.php?action=bios&bio=batman
http://www.thekryptonian.com/comics.php?action=bios&bio=superman

i find strange nobody wants to do it.. it's a good suggestion.. anyway.. depending on requests i suppose...
(usually, i see coders wait for the Paid section because hacks with more than 5 lines of code are complicated, and coders are asking to be paid for the effort...)

Ahhh... I miss the days when you could get good hacks at vbulletin.org without having to pay for them.

Don't get me wrong, there are still some good free hacks out there, but I agree taht more and more coders seem to be in it for the money nowadays.

I could use one of these for my RPG sub-forum users :)

Just put this hack in the paid requests forum as well. If anyone is interested in helping me get this hack released to the public, any offers of financial support to pay the coder would be appreciated.

Ok, I wrote a script for this, but it's not tied into vbulletin yet. Right now, it's just an iframe on a vbAdvanced page. But if anyone wants it, PM me and I'll try to put together some install instructions, etc.

Look at my events chronology hack, it can be adapted to your needs, if you know how to do basic php coding :)

If you need help with it, let me know. Note however it will be hardcoded for your needs.
