Major Additions - vBonjour - Portal System

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.

Invalid forum path specified! Please edit this file and be sure to include the correct path for your $forumpath variable.

Both of you need to read the instructions file.

Edit portal.php and locate the part where it asks for your forum path.

Enter this in the space indicated.
If you are unsure as to what your forum path is, go to Maintanence > View PHP Info
in your Admin CP and locate the line "PATH_TRANSLATED". Take the part from
/admincp onwards off this and the remainder is your forum path.

PATH_TRANSLATED doesn't exist in my PHP, go to that page and look for "/home/" (which is the case for most people) and copy the whole thing. Eg "/home/site/public_html/forums/"

Simple as that.

Peace out.

I know this has probably been asked before, but I looked at the first few pages and last few pages of responses and didn't see it so I will ask again. Does this work with 3.7 as well?

[peterska2]

It is not tested with 3.7 and may or may not work. There are no plans for updates at this time.

(Sorry it took a while - forgot to check this thread)

Thank you but that link just gives me a google search page that gets stucjk.


Anyway I don't think using a portal where there are noscreenshots, no working demo, the developer's forum is down for days at a time )not the first time right now) and dev posted to this area 3 months ago ... not a good idea.

Try Logician's Webtemplates. You can build your own portal just as you want.
