vSite version 0.5b
Should I release this? I developed it a few months ago for my site; however, development has stalled due to my lack of time. So instead of sitting on my ass with this, if anyone is interested in it I will package and release this hack. So far there is only a news system, but there was also a content/article system that was being developed. Perhaps during the summer I will be able to complete this. This hack is currently a homepage/news hack for vBulletin. It is completely integrated with vBulletin--meaning that it is 100% template driven, 100% permission compatibility (special messages displayed if there is a lack of permissions; similar messages if news form is empty and what not), 100% admin control pannel controlled, and the list goes on. It took me a lot of effort to minimize the amount of queries and still maintain functionality. As far as I am concerned, this hack is bug free, apart from any bugs that may be in the vBulletin codebase.
Here are a bunch of screenshots that will explain it far better than my words:
