anyone please?

[devilsmania]

all you need is a full version of Vbulletin and perhaps this Add-On, nothing else....

[Strafe]

So basically what is the difference with vBExternal Lite and Zero Tolerance's vBExternal.

Whats a good reason for changing over to this one? Any added features?

[Inferno Tech]

this was ported from vbexternal to work with 3.6.4, the new version is Inferno External, which does have new features etc, but thats elsewhere

[Lombardo]

I really don't know how to install this and get it to work,i would love this for my site.

Its this i don't understand,i'm new to this

First the webpage you use it on must be php, if it is .htm/.html just re-name the extension to .php
Next step is to call the file, in this example we assume that your site is: http://hello.com, and your
forum is located at: http://hello.com/forums, so insert this code at the very top of our php file:

How do i go about creating a php file?

any instructions for begginers? lol

Don't expect too much support on this. I tried to ask some support questions both in the forum here and at Inferno Technologies forum. Any kind of questions you ask here on vbulletin.org will be declined and inferno will ask you to post support messages on the inferno technologies support forum. I don't mind doing that, other than the fact that their message board is a grave yard and no one ever answers anything. It's basically a long list of unanswered questions.

I bought Inferno External and the only feature I see different is the ability to add a login box and the ability to use the support forums. That's pretty much all I see that is a major difference.

Maybe this post will offer some incentive to provide some support for their product.

[kevinpowertv]

Also, regarding support for their lite products, this is a message I got from Inferno Technologies:

Sorry, but it's our policy not to support our lite products...

[Inferno Tech]

I just feel the need to point out here that you made less than a day ago, and that *EVERY* support forum question gets answered.

Maybe you are unable to see them, since you never bothered to follow the steps to mark your account as a customer, I suggest you try that, instructions on how to do it are at the top of the thread you posted.

*EDIT* I notice you got round to properly validating your forum account, maybe you could take a look around the support forums, and revise your opinion of "nothing ever getting answered"

Thanks. Iain.

Perhaps my comments were made in a bit of frustration. Never the less, my post in your support forums was left yesterday at 7 PM PST. I guess I'm just used to a quicker response in a support forum.

If you get around to it, please review my support request and let me know what you can find. Thank you!

[Lombardo]

so will you help me here? or will i have to post in your support forum?
