Welcome ladies and gentleman, this is the release thread for GRPS, an interactive groups commune. I hope you enjoy this release and i sincerely hope it provides everything to your community in which you're looking for.

What is it?
It's a groups commune. The original idea is that forums with lots and lots of forums on the front-page suck, as a result i thought most of the conversation was rather obscure in regards to what the forums were trying to achieve, so it'd be nice to have that all going on elsewhere, not detracting away from the content and stopping your front-page from looking like a car crash.

i see 3 errors in the above code

- $vbulletin->options['hometitle']
My hometitle is only "MYDOMAINNAME" - so the url is only "www.MYDOMAINNAME/..."


- there is an whitespace between the 2 ' '

- why is there a $vbphrase['grps_groups'] ?
using the example of my site:
$vbulletin->options['hometitle'] . ' ' . $vbphrase['grps_groups'] => EBS:L!VE Groups.

Don't reinvent the wheel.

You have to get this more integrated with the VB core or it won't take off.

Thanks again.
Hey Trana,

Sorry i took some time in getting back to you on this post, in all honesty i didn't feel it warranted a reply in view of the earlier conversation we had regarding your requests/demands.

I appreciate that you are enthusiastic over the possibilities that GRPS can have in regards to your community, in fact i'm in a weird way grateful. However 1250 posts in a support thread, over 150 installations and 15 releases, if this hasn't taken off, then i can only fear the possibilities.

The level of integration you're requesting is nice and dandy but more work than i'm willing to dedicate. in fact it's so much work it's actually unheard of in terms of vBulletin integration even amongst paid products. it would appear like some others, you're looking for assimilation as opposed to integration and theirs a huge difference.

Please all note that the feed.php is included but will be unsupported, hence the lack of announcement and/or link to the file in the header or page(s).
