You will not need anymore photopost since we will have our own gallery system + links + articles + reviews + polls + top sites + paid advertising (advert campaigns, like all large sites have in their news) + friendly URLs for search engines + WYSIWYG editing of all aspects, posts etc. + HiveMail and vBulletin integrations... and much more, all nicelly wrapped in a XHTML code compatible for all 4.x browsers.
The main page should orbit around 10queries.
We hope to have vPublish released in about 4-6 months.
vPublish will be fully compatible with vBulletin (login, user information and private messages). We also plan to integrate HiveMail into it.
vbHome (lite) will become vPublish (lite), a very small script that will be more like a test front page, before you purchase the full vPublish version, just to make sure you don't have any surprises related to installation or server compatibility.
The full version will have basically the following sections (it can be integrated with vBulletin database, or vice-versa):
- news (articles and comments)
- reviews
- links
- photos gallery
- archives (search engine friendly URLs for the above sections)
- RSS backend
The estimated retail price is $130 for an unsupported license and $190 for the one with full technical support.
Each license grants you the right to install vPublish for one domain or database only. Licenses can be renewed yearly for the modic price of $30, they entitle you to upgrade downloads and other special offers related to vPublish. Installation fees will be $100.
The forums will be available for members to discuss with other members issues related to unsupported licenses. We will provide ono-on-one support to members who purchased the supported licenses.
Rest assured that there will be a very detailed online manual related to installation and other options included in the unsupported license, as well as tutorials for unclear steps or extra customizations.
Unsupported license holders will have an option to purchase "one time use only" support licenses for a $30 fee each, if they cannot get their answer from the forums, in order to resolve their problem. You can purchase as many individual support licenses you want. Each support license can be used for one issue only and expires when each case is closed.
Basically, it's more economical to purchase the supported license, since you will receive support for as long you own your server license.
The installation will be extremely easy, with no server configuration or other complex modifications. Basically, the install will be resumed only to files upload and the automated installer process.
Ouch 130 for unsupported. Thats definatly way to steep for a portal. You should think of making one without a gallery and have Photopost integration for alot less.
First off its not a portal.
Second, if you don't want to pay it you don't have to, TECK isn't doing this for charity. He needs to get a return on the investment of his time and money he puts into his scripting...so if you have a problem paying that...tough noogies...
I'll be happy if it supports vb 2.3.2 and or vb 3.0.0, since I own photopost and wouldn't want to waste my licence when I buy vpublish, it would be nice if it could toggle it's internal gallery on or off. and support photopost intergration for argument sake
