Does Boofo know about this thread? :D

Do you find anything wrong with this thread? I have been wondering form the start if this should have been conducted in a more private manner? But the reason I started it was to get something developed and give it back to the community. So, please if you find we are out of line, please say so... :D

How long is this project expected to take?

count me in!

Will this new media library work for both 4.x and 3.x versions of vBulletin?

HellRZR I think gobble is #15! He sent me a pm saying to count him in.

@gobble: Send Lancerforhire a pm so he can confirm you.

There we go, we have our 15... :) Will contact Lancer to get the ball rolling...

Perfect!! If there is anything I can do to help the process along let me know. :)

I want to clarify something else; please don't send the contributions yet; even when we have the 15 people. When the committee is assembled and we have the plan/roadmap finished, I will send a PM to everyone on the private forum. I'll ask HellRZR to clear this up in the OP.

Nah I think what's happening here is a demonstration of how vbulletin is most definitely a great resource for coders and users alike. I thought it was funny contrasting the cooperation of users with coders in this thread to the one Boofo started. He's missed out on a trick, $750 in this thread alone.

Someone could make a model going through defunct modifications and doing similar things with each one that people are prepared to pay for.

There's so much mods out there that need to be redone. One could make some serious dough doing this way. Of the top of my head one that I had to outsource was Live Topic for vb4. That mod is a MUST in my forums and we had to hold out on vb4 until we had that mod ported. I bet if someone got Live Topic and asked for people to contribute to get it ported they would get them for sure.

I want live topic working too :(
The company that bought it is very slow on the development process..

As far as I know, to import from Media Library to vBtube will cost you 19$. He will have to log onto your server and do it for you I believe. Everything will be ported over EXCEPT for comments.

Just popping in to say a few things since our name was brought up:

I personally (Decado) Haven't received any custom work requests that I haven't replied to recently so i'm unsure if perhaps the wrong person was PM'd?

A mod like this is on our to do list, but is unlikely to be in development for a few months yet as we have several projects in development at the moment.

That being said I have only ever heard good things about Lancer, and while I think this mod could eventually run into issues in terms of it not being updated (which is understandable as lancer would only be getting paid for the original development) I'm sure he will do a great job with it.

Thank you for your post Iain, I actually was the one who mentioned the custom work request. My name on your forums is EquinoxAW, I sent the pm to Belazor actually , thinking he would be the one to talk to too. Didn't really see any place for requests so I just figured. In any case if he gets to read my pm I am still interested. :) Please let us know.

P.S. To the New Media Library project people; whats the word on this committee meeting?

Sorry guys im going to have to come off this list.My jobs on the line and my wifes expecting a baby.Need to watch the $$$'s

<a href="http://www.bar4bar.com" target="_blank">www.bar4bar.com</a> - media library works with 4.1.4 perfectly, with ckeditor etc, gotta love the like and dislike system.

but vbtube looks awesome as well.

Well folks we lost 2, so we are back down to 13 and that's we me going in twice. :(

So we will have to wait some more to get 2 more people in.

Remember dude you don't need to rush. Why don't you collect half from everyone in at present then stump up the remaining 2 needed from somewhere.

Wow that's pretty awesome.
Ask if he can address the following issues and I'm back in.

I for one have no need for vbtube. I have vbgallery/photpost integrated for picture gallery which is way much more than what vbtube offers for galleries and Media Library which we will now revamp and update. Vbtube support is vague to say the least and at least for us not what we need for our site, we gave it a shot about 6 months ago and installed a trial on our servers; good but not for what we have and need. C'mon people 2 more now? Still room for more contributors...

I'm interested in this as well.

HellRZR, check for a PM from me. :)

im down

HellRZR I think we might have the 15 now! :) Update list please.

Will this be ioncubed? If not I will put in also making it 16 :D

I believe HellRZR is away until Monday. We'll continue then. :)

did not know vtube existed ---- killer looking

We are taking this in another direction. If you want this done, please subscribe to this thread, post a "second" (like BOTM nomination) for this mod, and wait for the poll.

Asking a mod to lock this.

Unfortunatelly i was right... This project not even got started, and the coder is already asking ppl if they actually want another project?!? Sorry i was right... i really wanted to see something better than 8WayRun.com Media Library. I think i'll better pay a private coder to just fix the old 8WayRun Media Library. When it will be done, i'll ask him to post it here for free. I just hope he will have the rights to distribute that code... Good luck guys!

I fully agree. In my opinion there is not much work to do. With simple modification in media_ajax_comment.js now I'm able to add new comment.
Still problem with "description" and edit comments.

Just found the thread - count me in please ....

Okay... you got the number of people to commit to giving you the money asked for and now you're "taking this in another direction?"
:rolleyes:

Gee I only read a few of the early pages ....

wtf is going on - do you want 50 for a media library or not!!

Media Library is what I need now that we've upgraded to 414 and the old version seems to be having problems!!

Are we looking for money for a media library or has that now been squashed for other projects????

Lets keep focused on this issue please

I'll give, but only for a media library .....

Hello Everyone,

Let me try to explain a few things here as I don't want this to look bad on Lancerforhire. It was my idea to start this thread, I contacted Lancer privately and asked him if he would be interested in doing this if there was interest and he agreed.

Now, we needed 15 people to get this going, easier said than done.

People keep coming on board and others dropping out, all for totally valid reasons, so this was becoming very time consuming in recruiting contributors.

Also, lets say we did get the 15 people on board and got this going, what I would have liked as a completed project may not have been the opinion of everyone on the committee. Even with a well structured project plan, I am sure there would have been people who contributed who would not have been please with the completed project.

So I think Lancer has the best approach here, he will develop this sell it commercially. This way a user can see what they are buying and see if it suits there particular needs.

If you guys can get the permission of the developer of 8WayRun Media Library and have him give you the rights to modify his code, more power to you and good luck!

I just wanted to clear the air and I didn't want this thread to turn into a Lancer bashing thread, as again, this was my idea.

I for one have no problem paying for a good mod that suits my needs and is fully supported by a good developer and his company.

Thanks to all who were willing to participate in this venture, but if you sit back and think about it, I think this is the best way to go.

I am asking if a mod can please close this thread.

Oh nice .. another commercial product that most people wont be able to afford - is this a commercial forum now?

I just love projects that start well intentioned and end up costing us hundreds of dollars renewals each year ...... all of my sites are free to my members - but certainly not for me!

I know this is not a commercial forum and this is why I am asking to close the thread as this is the direction this is taking.

Lastly, for the mods of VB.org, please note, I am not trying to promote any developer, company or modification.

But I felt the people that where ready to contribute and participated in this thread had a right to know what direction this was taking so they can make alternative arrangements if need be.

Appreciate that, thank you.
