vBonjour

Easy Customizable Portal System

Brought to you by www.peterska2.co.uk

Welcome to the launch of vBonjour. This is the base package which is required for all installations of this system.

What is vBonjour?
vBonjour is an alternative to vBAdvanced. It is an easy to install, modular portal system designed as a gateway to your site.

Why vBonjour?
This is pretty simple really. As the front page is the first thing that your visitors see, it is a welcome page. The first few names that were thought of were either very boring, or far too long winded and not at all catchy.

This is a base package. What is included?
The base package includes a news feature from up to two forums. The news from the first forum will be displayed first, followed by the news from the second forum. It also includes the left and right columns which can be activated or deactivated via some simple settings in the ACP. These columns can be customised without using any of the Add On Modules, or Add On Modules can be installed to expand on the functionality.

Why is it so modular?
vBonjour is extremely modular to allow for maximum customization of the page. The idea is to make it as easy as possible to install the items that you want to have included, and not have anything which you would be simply turning off. By using a modular method it means that every site can easily achieve their own custom portal without having to know any coding.

I want to add something that isn't already included. How do I go about this?
vBonjour makes use of the plugin system and includes it's own hooks. This allows easy devlopment of additional Add Ons and maximum flexability.

What about the ACP? Is it really complicated?
Unlike other systems, almost all the settings for vBonjour are collected in one setting group in the vBOptions. Because you only install what you want to use, you don't need to have lots of settings. Anything which does not use settings in the Portal settings group is highlighted in the documentation for that Add On.

Ok, so where are the screen shots?
Why have screen shots when you can have a live demo?
The demo is available at www.peterska2.co.uk

What versions of vBulletin does vBonjour work with?
vBonjour will work with vBulletin 3.6.0 and above. Support for sites running versions earlier than 3.6.0 will not be given.

I sure would like your mod, but I want to know something before I screw up my board.
At this moment I have my board in a subdirectory say '/forum'. On the main index is a page, but I do not want to use it anymore and want to use the portal instead.

Is that possible and if so, how? (yes I read the part above, but I do not realy understand it)

It's working guys, to actually make the portal work without so many mods on the template is using the <base> directive as suggested earlier.

Insert right below the <head> in PORTAL template:
Code:
<base href="$vboptions[bburl]/" target="_self" />
* But a question goes to the coder, are these 2 lines at the end of portal.php correct?

Code:
eval('$portal_articlelist .= "' . fetch_template('PORTAL') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('PORTAL') . '");');
I think the first is useless?

And I'm also suggesting using this code, instead of the current one and the reason is BBCode gets choped off creating an ugly view of the previewed latest topics, qouting the preview of the Tooltip of Forum Display, to display a stripped simple preview of the post:

Code:
	$news['pagetext'] = strip_quotes($news['preview']);
	$news['pagetext'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(
			strip_bbcode($news['preview'], false, true),
			$charlimit
	)));
$news['pagetext'] = nl2br($news['pagetext']);

There are instructions for installing outside the forum folder in the download. Not very difficult really. I have it outside the forum directory on my site. Follow them and you shouldn't have any problems.

This should work:
HTML Code:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'portal'">
	<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">Forum</a>
<else />
	<a href="$vboptions[homeurl]">Portal</a>
</if>
I haven't tested it though. I have a tab system on my site that always shows a link to the home page and one to the forums.

I have the mod installed. But because I use an style which is completely different from an defaullt style, it does not function complete. Only the news is working, no sidebars.

Is it possible to ad an basic template and assign only the portal to it?

I had the portal working fine, but for some reason now I can't link to it from our main site.
If I use the path www.hairdivision.co.uk/forums I get a white page but the page is named correctly as using the full path it is fine www.hairdivision.co.uk/forums/index.php? www.hairdivision.co.uk/forums/forum.php takes me to the forums?
I'm sure it's something simple, probably me, but can anyone advise?
(I can't use the second path above as the links are hard coded into an Actinic site)

T.I.A.

I managed to get it working by editing the links in Actinic but users are still having problems, any idea why I'm having to use the full path? I tried reverting the forums.php back to index.php but still the white page?

I added two plugins to fix the Online Location showing up as Unknown:

online_location_process:
Code:
if($filename=='index.php')
{
    $userinfo['activity'] = 'portal';
}
online_location_unknown:
Code:
if($userinfo['activity']=='portal')
{
    $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Portal'; 
    $handled = true;
}
