vB Cam portal
 

what i'm after really is cam portal software built into vB so it looks like the forums etc, i think it would bring something new and exciting to forums and would enable a whole new form of interactivity.

bascially what i'd like is;


+ a page with a list (maybe with picture and buy-line) of the cam's in the portal and whether they are active or not
+ a link from the postbit
+ a link in profile
+ each cam gets it's own page, with lets say the info in the user profile on and maybe a link to their vB journal
+ users just need to click activate
+ cam's must be authorised
+ users to be able to leave comments on others users cam page
+ and have the cam with the most views displayed at the top like a league ladder almost


i would be very grateful to anyone that would help!

I Can Do That -
You Willing to Pay or you after it for free ?

I assume he wants it free since every hack requested in here is free. (Unless it's it the Service Request forum)

i was looking for a free version, however pm me, what a paid version would cost, as long as you were willing to release it to the general public for free on here that is ;)

I'm very interested in this as well!

I'd like to see that too... this would be sweet...

shameless bump. Interested in this as well.

Looks like it could be cool. :)

that would be cool especially with an option for the current image captured to be used as an avatar.

very interested for 9,000+ member vb community! :)

...please!!! :)

I haven't even been able to find a suitable script for purchase! If anyone knows of one please PM me a link. I've found many for cam streaming designed for "shows" or video conferencing but not end user cam to cam (sorta like Yahoo or MSN messengers).

If anyone finds it please let me know...I'd be willing to pay for it... hmm... maybe we could get together and have someone write it for us at cost?

<a href="http://www.24camportal.com/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.24camportal.com/index.php</a> ... this can be integrated to vB with a good quote!

you know my fees, you know my site,...

Why don't u give us an estimate on what it would cost and what it would do...

Question to the requester. Do you want streaming cams or just ones where people provide the image that is updated every so often.

Not streaming. Updates every 3 minutes or so.

i can't give a cost, we're not in a commercial forum... i can't talk about quotes or else... i just say that we can use such a software and integrate to vB for a certain cost... you know a specific product that answer your needs, we can deal with the integration if it's in php/mysql...

btw, i will take a look at the commercial softwares that do most of your requests, and see if you can deal with a Group Project... if the software cost 100$ for an unlimited domains, i may be able to offer something similar ported to vB... also, i can contact a code creator to make a deal with 'em and make a complete recode to integrate to vB... but usually, this is not free...

i had some suggestions lately (last night) and i think to be able to provide a commercial web-cam portal in begining of august... point is that it will not answer all your requests, but once a basic system is built, any coder can create addons for it...

the requests of the initial post are far from large, and very basic, but i'll look forward to seeing your product.

every few minutes, streaming would kill the server unless it was done peer to peer and i'm pretty sure that would be all too much work.

yeah, most hosts can't afford streaming webcams for groups.. that's why usual streaming webcams are software based instead of web-based...

btw, there is some commercial hosts that provide streaming servers for a HIGH fee, and this can become interesting to host your webcam in groups... (shared server)

Ideal configuration would be that people with cameras would log in to vBulletin which would just act as a directory... the data would be peer to peer, most people already have high speed connection so it shouldn't be an issue... it should also make the development job easier as no streaming server would be required...

Window Media Encoder 9 is very good when it comes to video/sound compression, I've been playing around with 640x480 and 128kbs sound and it worked just great.

I've done a lot of research on this project, and have some great ideas... let me know if you're interested in some of them...

I'd really love to see this project coming to life...

i will start a Forum about creating a webcam server in any direction possible, on my board, because here is hard to discuss about commercial avenues... goto my sig for that!

Not so sure that updating still images will cut it for my use as long as there are better free systems available like Yahoo and MSN. These free and widely used services are who I'm losing my members to right now. I've cut down on that some what by adding attachments to PM's plus having chat on my site but the cams are still be big draw. If it means setting up a dedicated server I'm willing to do so but so far have not found any viable options that allow me to host myself and integrate with vB3.

the peer to peer thing sounds great but at the same time, i'm not sure how many hackers are quite prefficient in a language to code the application.

A quote for streaming cams please
Thank you

vb 3.0.3, vbadvanced integration.
could i also have a quote, please !

did anyone get the price on this?

i got a price for this myself...:

1- i have two guys interested to make the conversion/integration of http://www.24camportal.com , one is ready to make the integration of db etc, and one is ready to add some webcam features... BUT:

the main coders at 24camportal.com are not interested to make a integration script because they added a forum in the script lately... they told me i can buy the script and do the job for my clients, but they are not helping...

i think that the PRO version is a great tool, easy to add more features, and i know some other tools that we can use to add these new features, but i can't deal with the purchase of a script right now, our paypal account is empty...

you can then go to http://mini-services.com/freewill/forumdisplay.php?f=1 and start a discussion if you're interested to help buy the source code and find more features to add, debug and have some setups and configurations made.

the script is 50$US, and i'm ready to do the job... can take about a week to have it complete, with integration, debugs, and a start of template integration... complete integration will come easy when db integration is done...

what i can evaluate is this: each script sold will include the originate price (50$) plus a minimal fee for service on our site and integration value...

btw, for now, we can't support the portal itself, as we're not webcam pros, but we can focus on that if we have more requests... my partner told he was ready to focus on the webcam thing if we have at least 10 clients requesting that script...

ive done same check link for prices
cant afford it? pm & well can sort something out

I am ready to pitch in some money if anyones willing to do this hack and as long as this hack is available here for public. PM me if interested in working on this hack.

i'm in for vb 3.0.3, vbadvanced integration

Hum.. pssst... did i tell on my last message that i was ready to do the job, but the only problem is i don't have any cash to pay for the source code right now ?!... if some guys are willing to help paying the source, just contact me, we will make a deal.

i can't release the source for free once it's done, you will have to pay for the value of the source code anyway... but yes, it will be released for the public... i will not do the job only for one guy....

http://mini-services.com/freewill/forumdisplay.php?f=22 for the discussion, because here on vB.org we can't discuss commercial things.

so if you don't want to release the integration for free why are you here? i'm sorry but these are hack requests not service requests, it's one thing to say i've done this and will sell it for XX amount but you're not even doing that you're trying to barter about a price and you want someone to pay for it. if you'rre willing to release the integration for free, i'd be more than willing to provide the source code.

nexialys pm me i have pro version

question is not to release the tool for free or not... and i have to tell you that this forum is not only for free hacks, it's for ASKING for a job to be done.

if you're not happy with my suggestion, just don't reply to it... personally i have faced your numerous requests for hacks, and you're never interested t opay for the jobs, so forget it.. it's not for you that i answered this request btw.

this software is not free, and nobody asked for a free tool... guys here wants a solution, that's all... i suggest one, it's a good solution, i even had 13 PMs about this in the last days, so i suppose you're the only one to complain about the cost... anyway, forget it... not interested, suggest something else that will not involve other guys to do your job... why don't you release something ?!... and stop harrassing others because they don't do the job for free.

right if you say so :rolleyes: either quote the price of leave my thread

please don't confuse forum 14 with forum 30 "Service Requests"

regarding your remarks as to paying, how do you work that out cos i made a request in free mod requests and was willing to provide the source code (not free) so you could release the hack?

you really make my days sabret00the :) ;)

Just so I know why would we try to do this around the 24camportal.com script???

I mean we are talking about an app that would allow us to do integrate with vBulletin and I don' t see a point of paying for software made by 24camportal.com... Why not just use Windows Media 9 components to create an w32 application that would communicate with given vBulletin system just for online/offline status....All video/voice should be peer to peer with possible option of going through a streaming server... but once you go that way we are talking about serious $$$ in traffic and software... I have many great ideas for this project but don't want to disclose all of them cause I am afraid someone will take em, create a product and charge others for it... Nothing bad in that but if that is what will happen then I'd like to see something out of it... or if you tell me that you'll write the thing, and make it free for everyone then I'll give you all info on it too...

Better yet somewhere here I saw an IM plugin for vBulletin, why not integrate the two together...

I don't mind paying for it as long as it has peer-to-peer option so my site with 150K members would't cost me 100K to run...

To be honest this project to be completed will take some time... I am currently considering getting my own team of programmers and writting the thing from scratch based on my spec... But if anyone already started please let me know... I'd hate do start working on something that is already in the works...

Why not make your own page? It's free. :D

I'll stick with the free hacks.
