For vb4 will you be provide for a way to let new reviews/ comments show up in 'Whats new'? For example like this addon provides for: What's New - Reloaded

Within what time frame do you plan to materialize reviews and paid listings?

Will there be a GARS importer?

Do you plan to add Google Affiliate Network, Clickbank, Cafepress and Zazzle?

I'm working on the vb4 templates now. Everything is going along pretty smooth, so I should have the same code base I released for 3.8 available late this week. At that point I will start on the templates for reviews. None of this is new, I originally built it for WordPress, so I'm simply converting from one template system to another and making the mods for user profiles, etc.

I was a GARS user for 5+ years. I didn't think about an importer, but it seems possible. I used GARS for articles, not reviews, so I will need to set it up and add review structures so I can see how the data is stored. For reviews I used the Censura system (a royal PITA!).

I will support the Google Affiliate Network, Pepperjam, Share-A-Sale and Linkshare. I'm not sure about the others yet. I did play around with creating an importer for Clickbank. If there is demand I can do it.

I have not decided on a sales model for the Pro version yet. I'm still looking and taking input.

Regarding your question about "What's New," to the extent that it is possible to provide this information without hacks to the original vB files, YES. So, if I can find the hooks to make it possible, I will do it.

Thanks Pete. I am using GARS for reviews and business directory. I have 11.000 entries in that. I'd like to use the business directory so that companies can buy expanded listings/reviews.

Alfa1, on my former community I integrated phpMyDirectory with my vB 3.x forum to allow vendors to buy listings and add products that would display in rotation in ad spots on the forum. It worked great, but it was a PITA to maintain.

I will be applying the phpMyDirectory concept to my Plugin Pages CMS. The goal would be to let any sponsor/advertiser have a listing in a "Sponsors" catalog and bid to have the button on a product catalog page link to their store.

I originally made this work the hard way by creating a web page spider that would scan and index all of my sponsor's stores. From the spider data I created a shopping comparison catalog using a system called Price Tapestry. When I lashed it all together, my sponsors got exposure from review pages, business listings and the shopping catalog.

My goal is to bring all of those same features together in a truly integrated system for vBulletin. Your input is appreciated.

I'm ready, when you have a VB4 beta ready to go...

What is your pricing model going to be for the PRO version? Shared affiliate or full price (willing to pay)

The vB4 beta should be ready by the end of the week. I need to finish cross browser compatibility.

I have not finalized anything on the Pro version. It's still to early for me to discuss.

Any update on the Vb4 beta?

Been another month. Any update?

Hi,

We are very interested in this plugin and are waiting for the VB4 beta.

Pete - any updates?

Thanks,

Its too bad that the developer has gone missing and that the pluginpages site is gone.
This add-on had a lot of promise.
