This time I started posting them to vbHackers too. And if anybody knows any other related site, please let me know.

And for proof, here is a part of her email, dated Nov 22th, 2007

and to close the story. The same person who dropped my mods in Graveyard as having security holes, 2 days later, sent me the following email:

No more comments by me.

MicroHellas, I do not appreciate you making our private conversations public, but as you have done so, I feel I should set the record straight, so just for the record, yes, I inquired to purchase the rights to MicroHellas' scripts, but it was too expensive. She then countered with an offer to have me and someone else partner with her, to which I said no. She then wanted to know much it would be to have me check MySocialSpace for vB syntax and security risks, and I answered $200 to $400 per file. I did not ask her if she wanted to pay for me to fix her scripts. She made that inquiry! :mad:

I can post anything that it was emailed to me. I didn't post an email which was sent to someone else. As for the rest, let the readers to have their own opinion. And please get out the ungry faces. You're too young for them, and not the one who must be ungry with the whole situation. I've paid 3 licenses for vB, so I've the right to post in forums anything as long as they're true. And you know very well, that what I wrote is true.

Maria,

I am really getting a bit tired of having to react to all your attempts to blame anyone but yourself. Our staff and myself are getting tired of having to spend many hours on handling your mood changes and endless discussions. Either release your work to the vB.org members (you are releasing things for our members, not to please our staff) according to our rules and policies or not. Even if you mark your work as Beta, it will still be removed if it there are verified security issues.

You are insinuating that our staff has personal financial motives to quarantine your modifications, please get a life. Modifications are placed in quarantine if a security issue is reported (99% of the times by a regular member) and confirmed by a staff member. The staff member who quarantines a modification has no benefit from this at all. On the contrary, some staff members prefer not to handle reports on your modifications anymore as the result will most likely be that they have to go into endless discussions with you if a vulnerability is serious enough to warrant quarantine (there is no discusion on this, if there is a security issue it will be handled according to our policy), or you will start to blame the individual staff member and threaten to remove all your work.

Our staff is here to ensure that vBulletin.org runs smooth, they are not here to repair your (at that time commercial) modifications. If you ask someone to partner with you, then he/she will have their own motivations, not connected to their staff status on vb.org, to accept or decline that. If someone wants to accept commercial requests, then they are free to accept such a request at their own price, it is up to you to accept or decline such an offer.

If you are unable to ensure that your work has no known security issues, then maybe you should have a look at our articles section, or post in the coders forum for advise.

Sir Adrian pointed out in one of the mods that was removed how some kid could easily destroy the user table in database. This is very scary, and under those circumstances every one who installed the mod should be alerted immediately.

vb.org responsibility is to protect all vb users and they do an excellent job at it.

Things could have been so simple when there is a problem and someone points it out to just say "Thank you" and most important, learn from it.

Thanks Mary... *installed

Oh Mary, you're so ...greek :/
(sorry, couldn't resist, *** Non-english removed*** :p)

I do not know about code and never use Mary's modes. However, the fact that you moved here modes to grave yard and then privately ask her for sell the rights to you is unfair! If it is not security why do you still want to buy?

Mary, you should stop talking here and try to fix your codes

i love your scripts.. i'm a big fan... but for some reason, when i install your clubs... i very meticulously ensure i do everything right..... i click the active radio buttons.. i ensure my permissions are right... and when i go to the site.. its there, but when i try to add a new.... it says i dont have permission...

1. Have you setup categories? eg if you're trying to add a club have you setup before categories for clubs? Same for photos etc.
2. What are you trying to add? Please note that if you're trying to add eg a Photo without having an active club, it can't be done. You must have at least one active club so items like blogs, articles, photos etc can be assign to that club
3. Again if you're trying to add anything else except clubs, have you join any club? Only club's members can post in a club.

I apologize for the genaral permission error. I'll replace with a detailed one soon. For the moment, trying to check only if the restriction works, I used the default permissions error without to take care for specifying different error message according to the place that this error ocured.

Thanks a lot Mary :) Great hack, as usual ;)

Okay Mary... I got it right now! i guess i didnt understand a few simple laws...
i need to SET UP the Clubs first.. i set up ALL modules with 1 test category and made sure that the display order didnt say "0" now everything works fine.. and i must say..... DIZAM!!!!! (damn!!) this is a mighty fine application..... your work is excellento! I will now go throught and set up the Club and deploy it for my members over this weekend... I will be sending you feedback as they give it to me.

Very nice piece of work .... thanks for your innovative ideas and hard work!!

Thanks Mary - I think I'm okay. I haven't made it go live yet, so I don't have any real data to save :)

Thanks so much for your work! Happy Holidays!

You can let display order 0, is not problem. Just in this case the categories will be order by catgerory id.

Oh, and yes, it is best if you go through each setup page and add in at least one category for each item... otherwise you'll get SQL errors or items not showing up :)

One quick question .... is there a section in the ACP to modify the Registration Form fields?

Currently not, as the "Create Club" in adminCP is an option added in latest version (1.4.0). But of course you can setup registration questions (even different for each club) from usercp. Just login as the owner of the club, goto userCP and then choose "registration forms" (last option).
In next release I'll add this option to admincp too.

That'll be great .... I get tired of constantly modifying templates :) ... when this is a full release this has HIGH potential for MOTM!!

i realize that it works off the usergroups permissions, but i would rather not make a new usergroup for the members to move to for charging

Mary,

Is it possible to add a feature? .... It would be nice to be able to set the table background colors via an option vice it picking up the tborder color.

Definetely is a Bug!! :rolleyes:

I've Checked the Reason of the Error, and is this: When Uploading a Photo with a Smaller Width or Height than the Thumbnails Max settings, the System Don't Create the Thumbnail even Using the Same Image as Thumbnail!! :confused: :(

You Should Allow the System to Select the Same Uploaded Image in that Case, so the Thumbnail will be the Same Uploaded Image, or perhaps Change (Increase) the Size of the Image to the Thumbnail Settings!! ;) :rolleyes:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

there is bug:

when i visit this link:
http://www.madebymary.com/demoarea/v...istan&message=

then go to :
http://www.madebymary.com/demoarea/vbclubsblogs.php
and visit this link:
http://www.madebymary.com/demoarea/v...very-good-site


it will show the picure of the shop link in the header again in the blog link as showin in the third link

Even if I'n not totally sure that I got your meaning, you report as bug that:

1. In the first link your're seeing that photo in header
2. In the second link you're seeing the normal header
3. In the 3nd link you're seeing again the first photo

If this is the bug, then it's not a bug. Just that user used the same photo as Club's photo and as an item to sell. What photo you're seeing in the header (when you're inside a club) it's the club's photo. In the 2nd link you seen the normal header as you're out of any active club.

Mary,

any possibilities for what I asked in post #62?

as an admin, i get a permission denied when trying to view a users club forum. Shouldnt an admin have ability to go anywhere in the club system?

thanks a lot
but when i press add new club this error appear

sefo: Refer to this post


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=25

that'll fix you up .... I hope!! :)

Hi again Mary!

I haven't tried to change forum permissions, but I'd like to have posts not show up to people who aren't in the clubs when they hit New Posts. Is that possible?

Right now it shows all threads started by all clubs in New Posts, and people get a "permission denied" message when they try and click on it. I don't see any new usergroups created, so I don't know if it's possible :(

Suggestion: Add Report Button/link for Video so if the video doesn't work anymore members can report it.
And Add vBclubs to Who's Online so it won't show as unknown location

I´ve paid a lot of money for vbpals & mysocialplace, and now i must read here & see on your page you share this for free! Is this a bad joke? I´ve translated in german mysocialplace, vbjournal,vbpals & share the language files for German Members in your forum & now i must read this. Why i have paid for your hacks, when you share they for free? I´m very angry about this.

life sucks dont it ... that's money down the drain.. but the good news is... this is a really really good hack... im still customizing the code...

Suggestion::: add icon that allows people to print articles or send via email........

Bravo re Maria, apexti eisai! ego ti na kano pou den exo idea?

JAuthement thank you
it works now but when i go to approve any club it said i have no permission to enter this page

despite that
i change the permissions for user groups

thanks for your interest

Rubbish... to be honest, I hope you informed the "new owners" that they're morons for making such a request. Are the "new owners" going to explain how temporary of a policy this will be? Yesterday, people could download it. Today, they can't.

I suppose we'll just have to seek out individuals who still have the downloaded files. (I won't, as it turns out this mod is not quite what I'm looking for, but... I just find this type of "acquisition methodology" in which new owners pull the plug at-random, to be quite childish. Not your fault at all though, Mary. Your work is excellent - keep it up! :)

if michelle sold this hack.. or got paid for it... good for her...... if she handed it off to improve on a good thing... good for her.....

Mary, not michelle, lol.
