The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

mashby · #1 04-30-2002, 04:20 AM

I've recently been using vBulletin for my main news, thanks to Pluhnews (great hack by the way), and I want to add another news channel, but I'm not excactly sure how to go about doing what I want. So, I thought I'd throw it out to the collective here and see if anyone had some suggestions.

========================
Background
========================
I run a private board and I have basically disabled the guest account. If you're not a member, you can't do jack. I've enable user authentication throughout the private section of my site (including non-vB pages), but I do have a public section as well. http://www.interpug.com

========================
What I Want To Do
========================
1. I want to give a form for vendors to post news to a special forum called Vendor News.

2. The news that's submitted would be moderated and would not appear until approved.

3. I would use PluhNews, I will extract this news and have it appear elsewhere in the site in headline format

========================
My Questions
========================
What settings do I need to make so that I can have a public page, outside of vBulletin that allows you to post to the forum like this?

Because I have the guest account disabled, I don't think it's possible. So, if I enable the guest account can I set it so that guest can only gain access to this one form for posting?

Can I even have a separate page that posts to the forum without being in vBulletin?

Any feedback, or suggestions are most welcome.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
