Integration w/Online Community
Hi,
Don't let the big word integration fool ya. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I do have a wish list, and I'm hoping you kind people can help. We'd like to create an online community similar to www.minicooperonline.com . We'd like to move a lot of our site content over to our community. Originally we were just researching BB software, and that's what led me to vBulletin. We want to create a main page (not sure if the correct term is portal), with complete integration of the main page with vB. We want the ability to update the entire online community from vB control panel. With one Admin panel to login; make changes, update content, approve delete posts, etc. All pages should be dynamic and derive power from vB. We want to be able to easily add and update content w/WYSIWYG - dynamic creation (no FTP). This is a rough outline of what we want on the main page of community: 5 top active forums 5 recent topics What's New Section (Dynamic content updated through Admin panel) Pic of the Day (Randomly generated from database of Vestibule of Fame - see below; as well as administrator's ability to choose pic) Center Section for Content (Our comments, new product versions, specials, announcement of contest winner, synopsis of latest news articles, etc. Again dynamic creation - easily updated through Admin panel). Vestibule of Fame (Users can upload pictures from their browser/desktop. Pictures are automatically re-sized as thumbnails with link to larger image (total file size to be set by administrator). In addition users can add captions for photos. Administrator has ability to approve addition of photos to database as well as edit captions prior to posting. Vestibule of Fame pages are then automatically updated with new additions. Vestimonials Allow users to submit vestimonials via online form. Approval and editing by administrator prior to posting. Vestimonial pages are then dynamically created with new additions. In the News Administrator has ability to add links to HTML (and PDF) files, and News pages are then automatically updated. Ability to automatically archive articles after certain period of time. There would be links to the Vestibule of Fame, Vestimonials and In the News from the main page. As well as links to: forum, downloads, videos, order page, recommend us. Misc: Welcome Back (users name), Login (username & password), Join, Search. Is it possible to do what we want to do using vBulletin plus add-ons/hacks? What modifications to vBulletin would this require? Can you list what we would need in addition to purchasing vBulletin? Thank you in advance. |
