I design a lot of corporate websites. I'm use to working off of a master Information Architecture, particularly a site map, in order to manage workflow and graphic assets.

Does a document of this sort exist for vBulletin? Something that includes all form sub-pages (IM, Search, Register, All Profile sub-pages, etc.), and lays out the full structure of the site following every navigational path? I don't even need a full set of wireframes, just a sitemap (though wireframes to the default configuration would be excellent to have, as well).

Thank you for any help.

Nope. I've never seen anything like that.

A site map generator is included in vb4, but as it is different for every install of vbulletin, I doubt a central one would exist or be of much use.

Did a bit of googling for you; http://websitetips.com/ia/tools/ this site appears to link to some tools that will generate an information architecture for you; not sure if that'll help you, but it might get you some of the way.

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