Ixian, Drax:

Thanks for the info guys/gals. I've got several Coranto hacks and would hate having to switch over to a new system. I'm a new VB user (just signed up a few weeks ago) and went with the decison to start directly with 3.x instead of going with 2.3.x & then upgrading later.

Thanks again,
Kevin

Did this ever get modified?

Also wondering the same. Also, I'm getting this error:

The default settings section could not be loaded. This may be due to an error with connecting to the vBulletin SQL database. If you are just installing vBComments, please ignore this message, click Submit below, then come back to this page!

I'm 100% sure I entered all the information correctly. :-\

I am using it w/r 3.0.3

it works, somewhat although its not perfect.
the hack doesn't produce latest thread titles in the forum home
section, everything else works though.

also, I tried the B4 it doesnt show forums in the forum selection
drop down menu I tried to manually add the forum ID's to the
.pl file but it still wouldn't show them so.. its worst the B3 version
as far as vB 3.0.3 is concerned.

I do hope someone updates this hack soon because aside form the
quirks I mentioned above the hack works nicely with vB and adds
a great deal of functionality to coranto's comment features!

I'm working on it...

Sorry for posting twice in a row, but to expand on the above, I've now finished and released Issue 1.0 of my vBulletin (3.x) Comments addon for Coranto (available here).

It ports the existing functionality from the vB2 compatible version and updates it for vB3 allowing comment threads to be created in vB direct from the news editing pages of the Coranto CMS. Additionally, I've added a couple of extra configuration parameters to handle the situation where a table prefix is used when installing vB and also to default the creation of vB threads from each news item.

It's only been tested with Coranto 1.24 and vB 3.0.7 so if there were any table changes in earlier 3.x versions of vB there may be 'issues'. (I also don't know what it will do with 3.5 as I haven't looked at the format for that at all).

@feathers

Did you ask the original coder permission to use his work?

Indeed I did.

Credit for the original remains with Lawrence, I have simply updated the addon with his permission.

Great. :D


Thank you for the answer. Are you planning to release your hack also here at vb.org?

To be honest I hadn't thought about it too much as it's a Coranto mod rather than a vB hack. Given that it is vB relevant, however, I'd be quite happy to release it here also.

As I'm new here, however, I'll need a little time to 'look around' and see how these things are done!

------------------------------------------------

As a quick update, I'm working on a stripped down 'external.php' copy to provide replycounts for specific threads to my Coranto news script. (Not sure if that's the best way to do it but it seems to work). Once that's complete then I'll release a new version of the vBComments 'Coranto Integration' script along with it, both here and on the Coranto pages.
