Is it successfull? Well i don't exactly know, we released the update this week.
Is is customized? Heavily.
Can i give you a how to? No. It's hardcoded for our board, the adminside is very basic and it needs heavy modifications everywhere.
A list what we have done:
- plugin for subheadline/headline
- plugin to remove tags and bbcode from the preview
- bb-code plugin for galleries (see here f.e.:
http://www.united-forum.de/news/command-amp-conquer-s5/uebersicht-command-conquer-tiberium-wars-283.html#!prettyPhoto[gallery]/0/ )
- bb-code plugin for gallery as content (bottom of this news f.e.
http://www.united-forum.de/news/comm...hoben-299.html )
- bb-code in order to float pictures and quotes in the articles (we are going for a magazin type style)
- widget for the featured articles including a basic admin frontend in order to change things in a minute
- nivo slider widget including customization in the slider engine for the background fadeing and a basic admin frontend to change things in a minute (widget is released for free on vb.org, not with our custom look though which won't work on a default vb4)
- navbar, header and above body modifications in order to have the navbar above the slider and the slider fullwidth and board fullwidth while the newspage is fixed to 1000px
- custom grids as base - @everyone who is trying to mod their cms, get rid of that yui-(insert flame) as fast as you can
- plugins for the navtabs, so the 'BattleZone' has it's own navtab (we used a how to on vb.org for this one)
- plugin for the dp sphinx search (the sphinx search is amazing btw) so we can grab similar articles and show them in the preview and article pages
- some heavy weightlifting on css and templates to a) make it possible to have a white cms while having a dark board b) get that magazin look we want
- more heavy css coding to make everything stylevar based, needed for our ~9 styles
- some custom widgets for navigation, youtube, social network, battlezone main tournament widget, battlezone recent tournaments, upcoming tournaments
- template modifcation on the recent threads widgets to make it look cleaner
- template and php-code modifications in the recent articles widget used on the battlezone
- plugins for the rss part in order to not show rss-icons on the board, but on the cms. Another plugin to stop the board-rss (given someone manages to find the link somehow) from sharing our threads, we kinda like our content to stay on our board. :P
- php code modifications in the vbcms rss to a) set the feed language in the header to german (yeah it's hardcoded to be us-en) b) limit the amount of previewtext included into the feed.
I think thats everything.
Hope you guys like it and i hope our users like it. Cheers =)
