sounds interesting. care to link me to vbportal?

Clayton: the Elgg.org site was down. But I checked out the classic.elgg.org site and had a quick look and must say it doesnt look to bad but atm there isnt a vBulletin integration plugin/mod/hack. The networking side of things looks great though! So I will definitely check that site out when Elgg.org 1.0 is released - I subscribed. Thanks for the link, Clayton.

What id like to do with my site now is offer my members mini sites off of my site. Just like to be able to give them a few good pages to use for promotional reasons. The vBulletin profiles are too basic. This is a good example of what im after http://www.musicv2.com/artist/djbigboy

I check the source code but no generator metatag so stumped as to how they set that up. Guess it must be a custom job. But yup, id like to offer something like or similar to the above example like offer dj hosting, music profiles etc.

I just checked out vBdrupal for the first time and daaam is it good. I wonder if I can use it with subdreamer/vbulletin+vbseo somehow. Still looking into it :D

scotsmist: tbh I havent looked into vBportal to much but at a first glance when checking the site I just assumed it were like vba. My bad. If it does what you say it does though then awesome!! :D I guess vBportal is half CMS and half Portal then aye :rolleyes:

Anyway, im going look into vBdrupal more. Wouldnt mind looking into VBportal more but im skint so would be just a waste of time heh.

Cheers for the info guys :cool:

phpportals.com (vbportal.com) was started in February 2001, so members see it the other way round, that vbA looks like vbPortal :D

Hi Zak I have holes in my tights and a few pounds around the utility belt. It happens when 40 knocks on the door.

there actually is a rough hack for vB however it makes Elgg the controller which to me defeats the purpose, due to my interest in the development of a few projects music and sound related etc I was looking into Elgg, I am sure with a bit of cajouling we can whittle out a vb integration hack sometime.

I also utilise vbdrupal and if anything has power it is Drupal, this will certainly be the platform of the future, when Drupal 7 arrives it will be massive.

Good luck with your project

:up:

Still looking for a good CMS system such as the one www.notebookreview.com uses. It will be for a Tech News, Reviews and forum site.

45 seconds? unlikely unless the server was under load or a router was down.



I like the look of the vbavanced portal, it may be over used though I agree.

I'll reserve judgement on Elgg.org's release of v1.0. Which is summer, so when that happens, I'll test it on my live news site.

Until then, I'm staying with my VBAdvanced installations on three different game console websites.

I'm using a custom vbadvance: www.neozeta.com
And, well, if you want something, you can make it.
The code its simple enough to be capable of make some changes without redo everything.
But its a forum making CMS, not a real CMS. And you need to know it. To really know it.
You cant expect to be anything else....without make some big changes in the code.
I like it because for me is more complicated to integrate with the vb, than recode the presentation.
