Would it matter if it wasn't in a product package and required some manual template adding? I don't know how to make it just one XML file, but it is mainly done via plugins and a couple of manual templates

You should be able to export all the plugins in one product (xml) file (create a New Product, then just Edit the Plugin and change the Product at the top to your new product). Then have a text file with it and list the template edits that need to be done.

I'd be willing to take whatever I can get - I'm comfortable with template edits or products. I grew up with phpBB so products are great but step-by-steps are fine too.

Promising, very promising, MotM-award winner for sure.

This is going to be the next big thing.

I'm going to try and learn how to package it up as one XML file as I want to try and avoid the need for template edits. I might need beta testers, but I'll post back here once I'm at that stage

Enable Debug mode for your AdminCP

Create a new product from product manager

If it uses any custom templates, go to Style Manager and you should see a style called "MASTER STYLE" make sure all the templates are in that, then go to edit the templates, assign them to your product.

Go to plugin manager -> Edit Plugins -> Product: and add them all to your product.

If there are any options such as enable/disable go to vBulletin options -> Add setting Group. Make all the settings you need there.

Disable plugin mode.

Export

look into the faq.
There's everything you need http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/creating_a_product

[meissenation]

Please let me know when you're ready for beta testers, I'd definitely jump at the opportunity. This looks like a great mod and just what I was wanting on my site.

[meissenation]

Any update on this by chance? I'd be willing to throw a few bucks your way for putting this together.

Thanks for the info ragtek and FRDS, that looks like what I need to read

Mmeissenation, I've not made any further progress yet as I've not had time - but I'm hoping to work on it this week. :up:
