Will Vbulletin handle this ? 6k sub - categories?

[katie hunter]

Hi Zachery, i am not quite following what you mean, VB has genres ?

Btw is this possible with VB 5.x i know this function isn't there for vb 4.x and it is kinda complicated to do unlike discourse, they make it easy.

Another reason i liked Discourse, was that we can create an API so that members from our homepage can login with their account onto the discourse forum with their homepage data, does VB 5.x has anything similar to this feature/function or make it easy to code ?

I think it is this https://meta.discourse.org/t/officia...iscourse/13045

You'd break your forum categories down by genre's and then use prefixes in each forum to handle shows.

Thanks :0) Will see what we can do.

I couldn't find an answer for this, does VB 5.x offers an easy way like an API plugin that we can use if we want to connect our personal project let say our homepage members' account with vb? And they wouldn't need to create a separate account just to login to vb.

With Discourse, they make this process easy with a Single Login.

There is a full API for vBulletin 5, you can make use of it. Sadly, its not nearly as well documented as it could be.

For the time being, I think we will experiment with Discourse, I still love its simplicity but a year later when Vb 5.x becomes better and more stable and its API becomes well documented, we will consider changing to VB 5.x or 6.x

I am actually looking into the API for my new project, does VB knows when it will become well documented?
