Well Teck, I paid my vb with donations from my users, but I don't want to ask them again since the purchase of vb was only a few months ago so the VirtuaNews are expensive for me ;)

BTW: I am using your news catch from vbhome (lite) at my site since 10 minutes or so, I use a custom copyright note at the bottom of my site since I dont use the full script, is that alright with you? Or do I have to add the full copyright note?

Sir, I have a licens to the web WWW.arabminber.net. You can check out yourself. I really want to use your script if Possible. I do agree to all the terms mentioned. For sure ur copyrights will not be moved.

thank you

Teck: how would one go about splitting the 2 columns into 3 to get more of a phpnuke type look/feel?

Teck, I didnt get update email either.. I dont know that you already update your hack. Anyway thanks!

Also I have to uninstall multinews hack due to conflict problems as I stated before in my old post but excellent work with 3.5.

bouncer, I can help you with that...

LeeCHeSSS, why not post at here? More than several has been ask for two or more columns, once post and they will not ask bother anyone about this again?

Only suggestion...

Because it's not as simple as "Find and replace"

Another bugfix: in index.php find: and replace with:This fixes that when you "disable" truncating of article-titles it still replaces the last two letters with "..."

abu mohammed, password sent. thanks for installing my script.

leechesss, good job, as usual. i missed that one, thanks.
i will update the file now...

what about me Teck?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...784#post310784

yes. the copyright must be there, intact.
look at the copyright rule:
6. You are allowed to add, remove or modify any part of the included code.

you are allowed to modify, edit or remove the script. but you are still using my script. so the copyright must stay the way it is. you can only remove the version.

edit: you removed the most important part, the vBulletin copyright.
why do i have to repeat myself a million times to all of you? don't you know that vbHome (lite) is based on vBulletin functions???
i think the best way is to close again this thread, right? and discontinue the development, what do you think guys?

i'm tired of people who always complain about the same problem over and over again...
can you read this???
DO NOT INSTALL MY SCRIPT IF YOU DONT LIKE THE COPYRIGHT NOTES THE WAY THEY ARE!!!
is it clear enough???

hi teck.. just wondering if the vbhome lite contest is still going on.. www.somethingleet.com/index.php is my entry :)

supreemball. you should upgrade to v3.5 before i remove the file...
i plan on stopping again support on this thread.

i'm almost done finishing a version that uses 13queries with all options enabled. i will not release it, since people dont care about my wishes.
you will be able to see it on my website.

ohh tech

what about me and leechless
:(

if it wasnt for you, we would have 1242 queries!!!!

with all options off even!

Leech: sounds good man.

If ya want, take your time.. just email me instructions or something?

I am TERRIBLE at html and tables.. so as much info as you can share would be great

there are no exceptions. everyone will suffer because others dont get it. sorry guys.
you will have to stick with 3.5
is a damn good script that beats any copycats out there...

heh, someone just rated the script today, "1". like i do care...
the moron who rated the script 1, doesnt probably even know how to edit a simple piece of html and he cant modify an extremly simple install process like that...

then he rates the script 1.. lol.
go buy some books buddy, and learn a little html and php.

TECK.

Sorry to see this happen to such a great script. I will update to v3.5 and keep rocking the vbhl!!!!!

np. as i said before, there will be no further relases for this version. case closed.
i spend to much time helping others, and they simply dint give a damn about it.
i'm gonna remove the password right now.

keep in mind that the copyright rules still stay in place. i doubt it someone will keep it... i dont give a damn anymore.
is your lost, guys, not mines.

I wanna thank everyone for helping everyone else (smoothie, leechless) sad to see this thread have to die...

I guess its time to un-bookmark this thread..

I just dont understand why peeps couldnt just keep a copy write code at the bottom .... or get permission before ripping code, renaming a function here.. template there.. and calling it there own...

Thanks to Teck i have a good understanding how PHP works now. So Teck, if anything you did reach one person and asisted in teaching them something they didnt know before viewing VBHome Light..

Again.. thanks to teck, leech, smoothie and everyone else that was mature and respected tecks wish's... to everyone else..

Hope ya like mass queries....

ok, password removed. enjoy ripping code and removing the copyright.

whoa whats happened in the last few days, im confused now. Teck are you throwing in the towel again??? :ermm:

yep. this time for good. i will leave the script up, but no more dev on it.. except for my own site.
i almost finished 3.6 with nuke style icons and only 9 queries. you will see it on my site soon. it will run on 13queries while all options enabled.

this sucks, sorry to hear this. what were the problems??

read the thread.

Teck-

I think it sucks. I've been with this thread since it has been re-opened. Almost 1500 posts I've read, re-read, and read some more. A lot of us who have installed this hack have many hours invested. I agreed to your terms. I spent a lot of time working on adding this to my forums. I've uploaded, re-loaded, and edited files till I'm blue in the face.

I've followed every single rule you set. I've respected your wishes, I've helped others when I could. Why should I, as well as others be a victim of this? I understand you're pissed, but crap......

Now, you hang the good ones out to dry........

Damn, if anything else I have highly respect for Teck and his excellent hack also his wonderful support.

One thing about people, respect usually lost on them.. it is sad to see these people who not respect people and their hard work just like Teck did. I hope whoever rate "1" and complains about removing copyright think twice before say something stupid.

Teck, I m sorry to see you go and give up on us. Do whatever you think it s right thing, go for it and keep your chin up no matter what. Take care

atleast my voting 5 helped raise the stars once again
:)

I was looking to update my site and stumbled upon TECK's work at v3 and posted why woolfs poll wont work then TECK came in with v .1 .2 .3 .4 and now .5

All I have to say is I dont understand why some ppl would want to use his work but not give credit. Its these bad ppl that have spoiled it for the rest of us.

TECK I'll say it again thank you for all your hard efforts. I will run vbhl 3.5 in its full copyright glory!

smoothie, you did this because you liked the script and saw that is way better then other portals. and you kept the copyright on it because it's part of the download agreement.
vbHome (lite) 3.5 is already a script that beats any portal out there that is used in combination with vBulletin.

as you all know, there will always be pirates who will try to cheat. that's the only reason i stopped developing the free version of the script. why spend time on it if people dont listen?
i have other things to do, like taking care of new customers who will pay me to customize their sites, or taking out my wife to shop, instead of hunting bad people...

do you really thing all coders release their work here? NO.
i bet you PPN, FireFly, Xenon or others have tons of hacks (myself, i do) unreleased.
people are forgetting this very simple fact:
is up to me what i do with my code, that i made. me, to look every day for people out to see if they respect my wish? for what? for nothing? i dont have time for this anymore. i'm not goind to make a spy "call home" on it because i'm a man of honor. if i promise something i keep my promise. so i was hoping to see that people will understand that and respect me. they didnt.

you sound upset, but you should be happy that you have this script installed on your server, and not other one with 50queries on it.
i already did alot by working on the curent version to make it run as good as it is now.

I am more than upset. Try as you may, there will always be @ss-holes that do not respect your hacks, or wishes. Those that do shouldn't be penalized. I know it pisses you off, just like it pisses me off when people rip my designs and use them on their forums. But, life does go on.

Here's an idea. Those that have complied with your wishes, let us have the upgrades to this script. The others, and you know who they are, let them hang without any more updates.

BTW, you're damn right I installed this because its the best..............

we will talk about it more. when my forums will be up. i will have a members area where decent people will be able to get new versions.
is up to me who i will allow in there.

heh, someone else voted another 1. :)
this is really funny... is so easy to see how many "1" votes are there.

Great idea, Smoothie

Also Teck, yeah it will be nice if you open only to decent people. Hope you ll have best luck and give some decent people a chance. I m not butter up to you but you re best hacker :)

TECK - no matter how many people try to "copy" your script, they won't be able to optimize PHP as well as you do. :)

Well I still think it's pretty sucky that Teck is throwing in the towel because a few people made him upset. vbHome is one of the best scripts I've ever used, and I wish I'd stumbled on to it sooner.

But, I guess it's his choice. Hopefully I'll be one of the lucky ones to get access to his member forums so I can keep getting updates. I'd pay for full featured script but I'm broke as heck right now.

Anyway, sorry to see a few people wreck this for everyone.

There are too many immature punks here at vb.org. What about the days of old when people said what they meant, and meant what they said?

I fully respect TECK's decision. I'll keep using vbHome with copyright. If I had been in his shoes, I wouldn't even had left the file for download...

Bouncer, I can help you with your layout. PM me your AIM/ICQ/MSN/Y! contact info if you have any of those instant messengers.

Actually, he optimizes mySQL queries AND PHP :)

What programming language do you think MySQL queries are written in? :)
