Very true I could pay a guy $100 and he would have it done in a week tops..

First of all, noone has paid us anything.
Secondly, I am still waiting for access to the test board, and Im waiting for normal days to resume before trying to organise a meet.
Beyond that, it shouldn't take too much work to get it done. I know you don't like the delays, so if you each want to pay people to make a 3.5 version or your own boards (ie not to release publically) then you are of course free to do so.

By access to the test board, do you mean access to their test board? The one that it's already been started on? Or do you mean a board inwhich you just need a valid license on? 'Cause like I said before... I'll help get this thing going even if it means buying the license for ya. I've got web hosting out the yinyang as well. Just let me know.

When Matt (Link14716) dropped the uCash/uShop project, he took his lisence elsewere..thus, the development team needs cash to set up a public development board..I know I don't have the funds at this point after all the holiday shopping I did. As for hosting, I believe Zachary has us covered on that end.

Revan, correct me if i'm wrong :p

ill donate $ if it helps get this done :)

Did anyone learn a lesson with the situation with Link..?

If anyone wish's to donate to the uCash/uShop Development fund (to mostly get an owned vBulletin Lisence for the development site), read Revan's post here.

$ sent :)

That pretty much covers it, yeah.
I also mean access as in Admin/FTP so that when licence is bought, I can set it up and get the ball rolling.
Im pretty sure he'll get his ass in gear once we actually have something to show.
Thanks mate, every bit helps :)

I will give you hosting if you need it and send some $ for the license.

Can someone just a install a special test board on your localhost for Revan for the uShop development? I guess that would be easier rather than purchasing a brand new vBulletin license.

good to see this coming back around :)

I have my own localhost, and so does every other member of the development team (I assume), the problem isn't that.
As it has been stated multiple times, we want a PUBLIC board on area51 to allow YOU people to hunt for bugs.

And why a public board? Does it have to be? You should know that it works on test boards, too. :p

They feel the neeed to test it on public test board so YES. The thing baout a private test board is that with a few people testing it there not as likley to find it compared to testing it in private.

PEOPLE, Leave them alone and let them work. I am sure there just as anxious for the shop as the rest of us.

thank you ,i love work your fine

Exactly..finding bug's isnt so easy as people might think..sometimes you're able to spot them, sometimes you're not..thats why we need a public test board so people will report any bugs on the site that they spot :)

You're right there ;)

How far are you? When it's done :D?

It'll be done when it is done. If you want to speed it up in any way probably the best way would be to donate so we can get a public place to test and stuff.

I scheduled the meet for Saturday 01:00 GMT+1 (thouhgh I think I fecked up the dates in the PM, for some reason Windows set start of week to sunday), so things will start moving as far as development.
Release can't come before licence though, as that wouldn't be fair on the users.

So it's either wait or donate a few bucks, eh?

Its wait ,and if you want, donate, theres not enough funds to buy a licence yet. No special benefits or hidden betas or whatnot come to those that donate.

I guess why buy your own board when others have offered test boards and even their own boards for access?

Well, we don't want some "leased" board where others would have access to the members area and could basically pull the plug on the board at any time. We want one that WE own.

How about this?

I have a spare owned inactive license, but it expired. If you want, I'm gonna lend you this license for 6 months for free, just need someone to donate $30 to renew it.

Moreover, I'm gonna donate the webhosting fees for 6 months by providing hosting for free.

That sounds like a good deal to me. Go go go! :D

It's not that we don't appreciate the offers, we do, it's just that it's preferrable to have one we control.

is there a rough set date for the shop to be released?

great question that has never and probably will never be answered, until it's released.

what with ushop ??when exited

No.

what with ushop ??when exited

I'm a little lost as to what the plan is going to be.

Who is "we" and what exactly happens to the liscence if three months down the road everyone is to busy and decides to leave the project... is that liscence then lost in limbo? Does a random developer get to take it?

As for beta testing, don't we have a beta testing forum for hacks here where users can download the files and install it and give it a run? I understand that this is a complex hack but I have no issues installing a beta on my live site and providing bug fixes for issues we come across, as well as some new actions for that matter that we are planning to develop.

We could, as suggested earlier in this thread, do the upgrade ourselves from the 3.0 version but if we can't release it for those who need it, then whats the point of doing so and for that matter, why waste the effort in doing the work that someone else already did it?

Me, TyleR, PixelFx.
Whoever decides to take over the project.

Second part of this post.
I said that because I didn't like the at the time rumblings about the delay of this project. I heard people talk big about donating large amounts of money, $200 and more, so far no such donation has been made. As such, there's gonna be a delay for public release.
Not only do we want a public privately owned test board, but we also want a more professional way of reporting and dealing with bugs than threads in a subforum here.

So far, no one I've seen related to this project deserves my donation, it's as simple as that.

I've since spent my money elsewhere.

Good luck with your project and people skills.

Cheers,

~Regs.

Sorry you feel that way.

No worries, as I said, good luck.

So going by that post, is it safe to say then that the obvious errors have been weeded out and the port of this hack is ready to run on vb 3.5 for "phase 2"?

I donated some yesterday and more will come. Worst time of year to ask for donations tho. :P
