Web Templates 3.5x or vBadvanced CMPS? I am looking at using one for vB 3.6.5 along with Zoints and NuWiki, and I am open to any opinions about which CMS mod is better. We will have 5-6 staffers at launch, so I am mostly concerned with user friendliness and stability.

Thanks!

I am in a similar position as tminus... and have a hard time making a decision.

Any recommendations?

vbadvanced's main focus is your site main page. Webtemplates main focus is your site's other pages like "about us", "donate to us", our press existence" etc.

So I don't think you have to choose one between these two. If you want to create a vb powered site home page, you should go with vbadvanced and if you want to create vb powered other site pages, you have to go with Webtemplates. If you want to do both, you can use both too.

So why don't you just install both and try each of them, then decide? Both are free and both are quite easy to install or uninstall.

This looks outstanding and exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

I'm brand new to vBulletin - do you have any slick ways or recommendations for creating menus to link to a bunch of pages?

I am testing both but I was just looking for some kind of comparison. Wasn't trying to bug you Logician, but thanks for response!:) Searching wasn't coming up with any results, mainly because "Web Template" obviously produces all kinds of other results. Anyways, I hadn't thought of using both. To be honest, I have been more impressed with the Web Templates 3.5x sample sites. Leatherneck.com has a nice look to it. So I will go install both and see whats up.

Any other passionate WT3.5x or vBadvanced CMPS users please let us know what you think. Any conflicts with having both installed? Which one handles what the best? etc. So I get them installed and start using them, but having some discussion about both will help me and others use them more effectively. Thanks!

Actually, it is possible to empower your other pages with VBA too. But I think this is an easier way.


Personally, I just like those modules, so I've chosen VBA myself.

Great job! Thank you.

Hi Logician. Problem here

My PHP parse method versions of my webtemplates died :( Basically my webtemplates work just fine except when I select the PHP parse method, then they don't. I have no idea why. I rely on this for everything. Here is an example

Here is the phptest http://www.makeuptalk.com/forums/view.php?pg=phptest

EDIT I found where it's causing me issues. I have this in the top part of the templates:
If I comment those out, it works. username doesn't seem to work now.

Can you help?

Why do you need this code and what exact error you get?

NM, Logician, I coded a work around. Thanks!
