Released vbPortal alpha5

Nice,but you need a vbulletin files no?

Yes, it's a hack or add-on for vBulletin and you do need to own vBulletin.

ok,cause if it's a portal
he cost very much!
But if it's add-on ,it's a big and very nice add-on
GOOOOOOOODDDD Work!!

got to say my words of encouragement.

I read through your site, and you looked disheartened that people werent interested.

Talking with a few pals over ICq, quite the opposite. I for one will install it v soon after my upgrade to vB2 and i know others will follow suit.

I think its just a case of people trusting hacks as far as others opinion, so u can be guaranteed that when i install i will be backing this one, and helping try to drum up public support of it.

Gimme 2 weeks to sort my life out and u WILL have another dedicated follower to the future that is the vBportal !

What exactly does the program _DO_?

Went to your site, and all I can gather is that it's a news poster/logger like Blog.

If that's the case, I'd love to use it after I get vbulletin.

(And if vbulletin eventually supports email submission of posts, it'd be even greater.)


Don't give up on it, whatever it is. :) Good to see you put it back up.

Before I can make a beta release I have to know what I've done wrong. So I need some constructive feed back on the various ways I've implemented the vbstuff etc. so that I can make corrections. Until then I agree no one should put it on their production site., although it seems stable after you labor though the install.

The various addons, links, downloads etc. are just fluff and I'm not spending a lot of time on them except just trying to show people haw easy addons are once the vbPortal thingy is stable and "efficient" Almost any third party add can be hacked in to use vB's styles. For instance I roughed in a hack of PHPWebCard this moring in about two hours.

BTW, I want to thank everyone for the encouragement i've been getting.

I'll download it as soon as I figure out what my username and password is.

I hope that is configurable. ;)

Sure :)

Please don't get disheartened, Wajones. What you've done is incredible! It looks fantastic and I can't wait to try it out. Great work!
TigerLily:)

the problem with that is that. i aint have my own site design. i want sommin like newspro where i can jsut post news and put a simple include on the main page and then you see it all the in its lil tables. noone i see. might be losin vB due to login problems soem ppl face with it (especially behind proxies) cookies dont work at all. either it fixes by beta 4 or i'll ave to wait for it to come out of beta version, 2 come out.

I have tried to install it but it's not very easy.........:(

Yes, it is a little difficult. I'm trying to simplify it as I go. Making it more modular so that you can install the basic vbPortal without the addons. You can do that now but the install docs cover everything.

I've installed the lastest alpha this morning. I upgraded from the previous version but until now I don't experience ANY problems. Works like a charm. ;)

Why not make a install like vbulletin.???

I made new portal kinda like this for ikonboard..

i included attachments and some other features..

where can i download your vbportal. i would love to test it...:D
heres a rough demo of my rnews via SSI

RNEWS

what portal is www.3dsociety.com using ?

Because it's a vBulletin hack not a complete program. There is no way to make a install to go thru and change the scripts for you. At least that's beyond my abilities.

It's not hard to install if you have installed hacks before, the hard part is my ability to explain how to do it I guess. I hope it will be getting a little better soon. I'm changing some things that will make the hardest part easier.

Anyway it's off line till I make the changes, I'll let you know when it's available again. Then if anyone wants it it will be available.

i used codebottons allsoDEMO FLASH :eek:

I'm interested in installing this news program.

Let me know when you have a final release please (I'm at kayn@pluh.com) or just post here and let me know. I'll be checking back.

Cool stuff!

?hm, sorry. Where is the download section?
Greetings

just remembering... :D

scott

I wanted to test this. No download page that I can find. I couldn't register to vPortal. registration refusal. Must be workin on the site I would suppose.



Waz Up? :)



Update: Must be working on it or something. There was no download and now there is a link. It however doesn't work.

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: openhead() in /var/www/XXXXXX/site/vbportal/download.php on line 340"

I wanted also to test this. No download page that I can find

help

I would have to see what the error is your getting from the e-mail that it sent to you to give you an answer I can't reproduce that error.

till now, no errors!
heheh, i can say that this portal ROCKZ!!!

It works for me:D


i so sory;)

I have decided to move on with other projects, I will be starting my own BBS soon, I won't drop vbPortal but development will be behind closed doors because I need my lic. to run my own site. I won't close the vbPortal site until I'm ready to open the other, but I can't really spend the time supporting this project much more. The interest is good, but I need to move on to supplement my retirement. I'll let everyone that's interested know before that happens and will reserve a spot on my new board for vbPortal inquiries and support. I will also post any new update's on the bulletin board and the vbulletin.org board.

Good luck to you wajones. I do understand the retirement fund supplement issue.

Thank You for the hack.
Best Wishes
Hooper

I'm not dropping it, just redirecting my energy :D

BTW...
For those that may be interrested I forgot to complete the admin block in the latest release, But I just put the updated vbpstuff.php zip into my downloads section, just replace your existing vbpstuff.php in the vB root and add the var $P_adminblock in the P_header and P_forumheaderall templates right under the $P_mainmenu var in each of these. What this does is provide a admin block that only the admin and moderators can see. You can use it for short cuts such as a link to your admin cp etc. just format with html using the block administration in the cp as with the other blocks.

ob_start();
include_once("./vbpstuff.php");
ob_end_clean();

I added that into the PHPinclude template and I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function ob_start() in ./global.php on line 204

Is PHP4 REQUIRED to use VBPortal? Is there a workaround to this problem?

Help please!

That ob_start function is php4 only. I dont' know a workaround (which doesn't mean there isn't one).
