A Clubbing Site - Heavily Modified

[robert_2004]

Hey,

i thought i would share my site with anyone that is interested.
The site is www.MelbourneUnderage.com
We started around 6 years ago, from a basic html site with html forums, 1.5 years later moving to phpBB, and around 2 years ago moving to vB.

We have spent a lot of time working on our site, and have modified a lot of things to suit what i personally think would be nicer.
- header changed
- nav menu dramatically changed to allow for the rest of the content on our site.
- add an 'alternative header system' (currently being worked on), to allow different images, set whenever we want to be changed (via date). [MOD WILL BE RELEASED SOON]
- whole site and forum runs through the CMPS, to display the necessary modules.

(- lots of little changes have been done)
- changed the registration system to make easier - with more revisions soon.
- member profile changed visually

- TOTALLY changed the event listing on the calendar
- added a lot of difference when added an event aswell.


- vbAdvanced / PhotPost Gallery
- totally changed the category layout
- added some little visual fixes throughout page


----
Some of the largest changes i haven't spoken about yet, is what is running on the system.
We have created a multiple site hack [MOD TO BE RELEASED SOON]. we are still working our a lot of the problems, but overall, the system is there due to the way vB was created (i applaud the vB guys).

the best way to explain this is
www.MelbourneUnderage.com
www.MelbourneOverage.com
they are both running from the same set of files and same database.

the system checks what domain you have come to, and then:
- places you into the right usergroup (some of the usergroups have been duplicated for each site - guests / registered / mods, the rest can work across all sites).
- gives you the right permissions to access and view each part.
- display the right template style (set per domain)

we have created a few mods to fix other problems, including:
- upcoming events module for CMPS - now is permissions based, and will show all calendars a user has permission to see [MOD TO BE RELEASED SOON]
- calendar custom fields is now useable on multiple calendars, with an easy "input calendar id box" [MOD TO BE RELEASED SOON]
- events can now be added to multiple calendars when entering the event (tick boxes) [MOD TO BE RELEASED SOON]
- events can now be edited by multiple users, and the original user can be removed and replaced. [MOD TO BE RELEASED SOON]
- the calendar module CMPS has be fixed to work off userpermissions aswell. [MOD TO BE RELEASED SOON]
- display the right style id to user [just added through plugin - will release with the multisite hack]


# coming soon:
- totally changing the event moderation page to be more visual
- show events added by user on user's profile
- event listing - ability to link events together, and show on 'old events' table row on event listing.
- fix event comments
- remove the


if anyone has questions, please ask. i know i have changed a lot more through the site, i just can't think of any others.
the multi site hack allows me to run multiple vB forums through the one set, greatly decreasing complexities like updating the sites, changing some minute visual template across all the sites, and ability to release news to all the sites.
