Wouldn't be possible without breaching several laws, unfortunately. I'd write a guide but there was more extensive things I added like using filp/whoops for error pages instead of the built-in vB error handler, and it would take forever to filter things like that out.

New licenses can't even download vBulletin 4.x

So, you're either doing all this for existing customers who refuse to move on ...

or you're wasting your time.

This is an advantage, not disadvantage. No updates means no extra work to adjust my code with any new release.
Even if there are some of them, I mainly do it for my own use and pleasure.
Be sure that I'm not wasting my time :) There are thousands left alone in the ship. Even for vB3. Do you know how many new Admins started a forum with vBulletin latelly? When they can find a license for less than $50, why not give a try?

In fairness, I think people are more likely to want to stick with vB4 than upgrade and move over to the absolute mess that is vB5.

vB5 is not "a mess" but you would have to be using it to know that.

Only if you want to use it just for forum.

I Added a Thread on your forum with all the bugs i found
take a look :)

Give a couple of hours to test it :) Have stressed myself to finish the extra features today, and I'm feeling so weak now. Most probably i'll check it tomorrow morning (in around 14h from now).

Just finished "everything" https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/data:imag...ABAAEAAAIBRAA7 ... Well, to be more specific, that "everything" at this time has a general meaning.

This project started with focus to be a responsive vB4 style. This done. Also my intention was to give a fresh style (simple style), with focus to "Mobile first". I believe that this also done. Third plan was to release some extra features like:

• Cookies Policy
• GDPR compliance features
• Modal Profile with basic member info
• Modal Login/Register
• A simple Mailinglist
• A simple Donation form with IPN support
• HTML system emails
• A powerful Footer section
• Memberlist replacement

All of them added and at least in my test, seem to work fine. The problem is that some of these features were plan for the PRO version. I'll think how to resolve this.

What is still missing:

• RTL currently is partial supported
• Forum only version works. So the Suite version is still unsupported
• Even if all pages are responsive, some of them are still with the old interface. Responsive but not updated. Maybe I missed a couple of pages, but is so hard to check all of them. This can be done only in real use. What I care most, is to have all member links in all pages, opening the modal window. For sure in the most important pages this works, but needs very deep check to find what left out.

Thanks Christeris,
I love this project, however I got this message after installed. any idea why?

First of all what vB version do you use? Forum only or Suite. Even if I've installed and testing it in both versions, should be some template messing in Suite which is not ready yet. But for sure without errors. Never got errors.


So most probably a plugin causes it. Can you disabled your plugins and try again?

I have v4.2.5, just a forum.
after i turned of the plugin, forum back on, but a little mess up.

I dont know if the php version 7.1 has anything to do with it.

No, PHP 7.1 is fine as long as vBulletin works fine (without any issue).

Don't know if I understood well, but what you turn off? I meant to turn off all other plugins and let only the Plugin Project vB4 active.

Thanks Christeris,
I installed again on the fresh forum and everything working fine now.

I do have Thread Prefixes set up on my forum, but somehow it doesnt look like your forum, it doesnt show up.

I dontknow if I have to update counters or anything that I might did wrong. Thanks

Should be on the next release. I'm in 1.0.0 Beta now but still checking.

Thanks

Just wanted to recommend this project to any other forum admins out there.
I have it on my live site, and very happy with it. Really gives a new life to our old forum.

ChrisTERis has really put a lot of work into this project and it shows. Hoping more forum owners see this project and want it on their sites too.

Hi @Christeris,
Just wanted to let you know that there is something wrong with https://www.xenvb.com/. I'm getting a server error when I try to access it.

My hosting account is overdue and suspended. It will be open again on Sep 30.

Hello dear
Where are the download links for the latest version of the wonderful project

You can find it here
https://www.xenvb.com/

Thank you dear. The download has been completed and we are trying the new version

If you like it, try and donate anything you can to help keep this mod going.
I really want to see it improve, plus see some of the extra mods Christeris has in mind.

@chrisTERis
Looks like your site is offline again. Could you take a look when you get a chance.

I currently have the latest version installed on my live site if you want to see how it looks.
https://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/

What versions of PHP does this work with?

Im confused, is this a product or a theme... seems like a theme with an incorporated product

thank you for this good job

can we get a screenshot of the types of settings we have for this

Sure,

I really like this project, but I don't believe it's getting the traction that the developer was hoping for.

There were going to be some addons that I really want/need for my site.
Custom newsletters and a marketplace/classified system that would work with XEN.

I hope he can come back and fix his site, and hopefully more people help donate to his work.

I'm waiting to hear back from chris still but I am working on the vB3 version and throwing in alot of my own ideas, I've been working on a bootstrap vb3 theme for a while now. All these screens are vb3

He has the forums on https://www.xenvb4.com/ and https://www.xenvb3.com/?styleid=2 which are online.

I'm not convinced that is the real support site. That looks like his old ProjectV4 site (different URL though), and all of the topics from the XEN support site are missing there.

I don't know why there are so many sites, it's getting confusing.
Has anyone been able to get a hold of ChrisTERis to help straighten this out?

Don't know why I didn't got any email for so many replies. Just for the last a few minutes ago.

I know that there is a confusion, so let's make some things clear.

1. Project vB4 is active. Not only this but also runs the project for vB3.
2. I just changed the name from ProjectvB4 to XenvB4 for a reason. People know that XenForo born from vBulletin developers. Naming my projects XenvB4 and XenvB3, is a way to show that vBulletin can have all the modern features that XF have, but keeping the stability and the so many extra features that vB has.
3. The websites xenvb4.com and xenvb3.com are JUST for DEMOSTRATION purposes.
4. The main site for both projects is xenvb.com
5. Yes, this site is down right now. There is no reason to exist (the site, not the projects). It should be idiot to spend money not only for hosting but also for the software there and have just 11 members.
6. Before closing the site I email all (10 + 1 me) members that for any new update, I'll send the files by email.
7. As for TAZ, since the time that they removed (without any notification) a post that I had with my PP email for those who wanted to support the projects even with a small donation, there is no reason to keep the post there. Finally I gave them a good traffic and many new members.

That's all that I've to say.
Chris

Well Chris, I've been trying to reach out to you. But to respond to your message above.

It would have made more sense to keep the one domain (xenvb) for purchases/ support/ etc. and sub domain (IE vb4.xenvb) the demos. Whats the point of Demo only sites if there is no support site.

As far as the development of the project I am interested in working on it with you, I have completed about 90% of xenvB3 just a couple more plugins to create (and no i have no intentions on re-distributing it, just do this stuff for fun). I know you have a bajillion projects, thought I might throw the idea out there. I'm not very good with vb4 but I've been doing vb3 stuff forever.

To be honest, I also like most vB3. Maybe because is more simple, don't know. Just the editor is outdated, but all others rock.

I've registered all the domains at once, that's why I used separate domains for demos.

What exactly is this if you don’t mind me asking? There’s no info in what this mod is? Thanks

I didn't get any email, what did it say?
Is there an updated version of XEN?

Really wish you would bring back the support site, or at the least use the DEMO site you have as your support site.

its a theme with addons, semi modernizing vB4 and giving it mobile functionality

Ah ok. Thanks for the heads up. I’m guessing it doesn’t exist anymore as a download.
