Just one dumb question: Why don't you use http://www.lifetype.net/?

I don't know much about the available massive user blog soft, but I am learning. :banana:

I'd absolutely be willing to pay for this.

I'd hope that support offerings would be present.

because he's working on integrating the blog hack into the individual vB forum, being able to 'tweak' it from the acp, etc. Not just linking to it from the forum.

Plus... I wouldn't use Life Type right now anyway, as you can't even see the style templates. It says the page is under construction but you can d/l them at SourceForge... but they're not viewable. And there's only 60 templates. Wordpress has hundreds.

Sorry but I'm holding out for this one ;)

I'll give it a full feature test run to check if it solves any of the issue I'm having now

looking forward to this , and u can add me to the paid users list ;) if and when it comes

I would be very interested in this functionality.

I just wonder how themes and such would be uploaded, or would there only be a certain number of themes to choose from?

There ^ is an excellent question.

I'm hoping that we'll be able to use any theme that is available to/created for Wordpress.
But indeed, how and where would they be uploaded/installed?

As it stands now I'm creating one source folder.

From there the push of a plugin or template is possible. This isn't the easiest of applications to make so give me some time to figure it all out.

I just auto installed 23 blogs on my testserver in about 6 minutes

so the installations are ok but the user synch and most of all the maintenance (uploading new versions without dropping configs, new templates, ....) that's my own personal hell at this point and that includes password changes moreover WP can add users too. So I need to autoconfig a lot on installation.

Still a lot to do on this one

take your time babe, we'll wait ;)

Hooah! I am also very interested with this dev' (and as "some" of other users here, would be ready to pay some extra for it), as I was looking for some serious blogging integration with VB.
Thanks for the link to lifetype by the way, I was looking for an opensource blog hosting solution too :}. I am not very concerned with the theming aspect (may integrate it myself with my website -- using subdreamer w/ VB), but by all the coding stuff of course :p.

Thanks for taking the time to develop that Stonyarc :humble: .
