Nu Torrent Tracker 0.74

Finally, my bittorrent tracker for vBulletin has reached a somewhat betaish level. Meaning, it functions but some things are still missing like AdminCP Category Editing and so on. But only a few. All needed things are there and it works well as I've been running it on my board for a month now.

I decided to write this thing after firsthand witnessing the problems with VBTT and what was first meant to be quite simple turned out into a full fledged tracker with features like commenting, rating, etc.

Note that this is a beta which means it has only been tested on one system AND I won't be responsible if you go blind from the messy code. But hey, it works! :nervous:


I don't have any screenshots but you are welcome to come and check out the live demo at: http://www.tokyo-nights.com/nutt
Heck, I'll even throw in a test user for ya:

user: kjustice
pass: useme

I'll prolly be updating the distro as I find and fix bugs. When the instructions say so or if you wish to, you can uninstall it by going to /forum/admincp/nutt_install.php?step=uninstall

0.74 - Made upload use vB's new thread function to fix the nasty apostrophe issue in 0.73
Changed:
upload.php

0.73 - Improved conditions for users the tracker reports as 'unconnectable'.
Changed:
announce.php

0.72 - Added a function to fix the navbar urls.
Changed:
functions.php
nutt_global.php

0.71 - Fixed a bug in details.php.
Changed:
details.php

i think im just gonna switch to VBTT just because of the lack of support on this one, the hack author hasnt answered anything significant to my problem or anyones in more than a week. the problem i was having has nothing to do with the the announce url not being in the nutt settings.. i set that up more than 5 days ago.. there is clearly a problem with something else.. i think that if you as a hack author are going to tick the supported button than you should support it. otherwisse let people know that you cant support it due to lack of time or otherwise. this is the worst support i have ever had on any hack.
anyone considering this hack understand that there is NO SUPPORT.
and if the hack author comes only now to rebutt this post, than clearly he is showing that he has enough time for debate but not for support????

I'm sorry for any inconvinience I might be causing but I've got barely the time to do everything. When I clicked that button, things were a lot calmer but now however, whenever I am online, I need to deal with my server being a complete WooHoo from Mars while also trying to make 0.8 look decent enough to roll it out here.

And before you say it, yes it's easier to babble here to than to answer your questions. This reply was made up in a whooping 0.4s!

Anyway, I reckon I'm gonna unclick support now until 0.8 because I'm gonna have gray hair before I resolve every issue with 0.74 since it's a beta.

.74 looks good so far afusion , and seems to work on the basic install , bar that prefix issue - i have it all installed and running fine , but im not releasing it to my members until torrents can be uploaded from any tracker and that catagories part fixed so we can choose our own ... everything else really seems fine to me

Sketch - sorry i couldnt be more help, but i can see things from afusions point of view as well - his life cant really revolve around this hack , and real life has to take a preference , its just a pity u felt ignored in the process.

Id say wait till version .8 is out and give it a try again - a lot of small things should be fixed by then.

i was just felt that if its being advertised as supported it should be. obviously not 24/7 but its been more than a week .. and it was an error holding me back from doing anything else on my forum. had i known from before it wasnt supported full time meaning wouldnt get an answer at least once every 2 days i woldve most likely just waired until it left beta, or if i had problems with the install i wouldve just uninstalled it from the beggining and waited for the stable release. my rant was mainly at the fact that it was advertised as supported and it wasnt. thats all. now that he showing that its unsupported id wait till .8 is released at least.

Read the thread. He says he's dealing with an immense number of other problems at the moment, and combined with the fact that the functionality will need to be updated to match the v3.5.x of the software, he wants to wait until said version has reached a stable release.
