I can't write code, but all I know is this mod has helped me enormously as an online Newspaper publisher, and I need it in Calendars and Blogs, it's like I'm being forced to Buddypress on WP to be able to do what I want to do.
IMHO these forums are almost unsustainable, so many great modifications not being ported to 4.2.2 or upgraded as required, even if there are fixes for mods sometimes you have to trawl through pages to find. I spend many hours sifting to find 4.2.2 info. Can someone build a "Stick@end" mod so ALL the latest upgrades to a mod for 4.2.2 can be clearly available,.
My biggest frustration is that 99% of developers are Forum only orientated, the CMS seems alien, forget Blogs and Calendars...pfft...I came in 1t 4.0.1 and chose vB for the CMS, Social Engine was close, WP was still just a Blogger style thing...we've been streeted.
Don't get me wrong, I love all youse dudes, spend a lot of time (too much...my point). It has got to become easier for dummies like me if the platform is to survive.
A LOT of these codes are now public domain, I see that heaps of developers say to use their codes to improve. There are a number in 3.6 that would answer a few questions.
I have paid now many thousands to vB developers, a lot I have chucked or not used, my site is maybe one of the most modified sites ever using vB4.2.2, I went sick, yet I still can't do anything easily.
Happy to support anyone supporting the Publishing Suite Blogs, Calendars, please...CMS widgets that actually work and look cool...
