vbHome... a new aproach to webdesign

THIS PROJECT WAS CLOSED BEFORE. REASON EXPLAINED HERE
I WILL START WORKING AGAIN ON THE PROJECT... Below is the original start thread:
---------------------------------
i love VB. it's so flexible. and that's why i want to have VB as main engine in administrating a website in general. this is not a hack. is ment to turn VB from simply a BB into a website. not a portal!!!! i hate portals, they are all so boring....

the way i plan to make it work this project is this:
01. everyone can make it look the way he(she) wants
02. flexible html code insertion for main page based on templates
03. news
04. stats
05. reviews and links
06. everything else what the user wants, because is based on his ideas, not some standard rules implemented by a portal design.

i have the full package prepared. i need beta testers who have php knowledge and can help me eradicate those bugs.
FireFly, you helped me all the time. i hope you will do it this time also. the installed is prepared. to run it and have it up and running it takes only 2 minutes, and you can start to evaluate the little errors i made.

the biggest issue that i have is with the Private Sections. this is where i want to focus my attention. please let me know here if there are any of you willing to help me test it and clear some of the bugs. i know the project is big. but once completed, alot of people will be gratefull. the same idea was discussed at VB.com about this project being optional for VB. i want it to make it come true. please spare some of your precious time and help me help others.

we are a community, and that's why i like this place because i always got help from all of you.
ANY SUGGESTIONS, DIRECTIONS, ETC ARE WELCOME!

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.14):
the sections are born. implemented the right permissions using the same user database, so people who sign in on the main page will not need to login into forums again.
Screenshoots:
the sections | the permissions

Current BUGS:
> group permissions are not set as Default like in Forums
> Private Sections cannot be enabled

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.15):
group permissions fixed

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.17):
install script finalised. all bugs related to installer fixed.
for a glance at the installer click here.

the script checks if the fields and tables are present in the database. it also give you an option do flush them and start a clean install.
database table and fields presence process can be viewed here. the vbHome options settings are here.

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (may.09):
Main news engine is now final and bug free.

Of course u are free to do what u want and how u want it and when u want it...
If u answered other people in the same manner, I understand why they "forced" u to stop hacking... Don't think u're the one who make things coming to live. U're not...

ok wooolF[RM], let me put it this way. is been a while i'm here on those forums. i see alot of newcommers and all they do is complain about why the hack is this way and not that way.. etc.

let me say it one more time for you also: the hacker who code takes his available time to make something for everyone, so that other people can enjoy it on their boards. i see every day some "coolie" guy who think he's rambo posting this and that on the forums here... "why nobody answer?".."why you dont fulfill my request rightaway?"...etc. do you really think that's a good way to deal with someone who is making you already a favour to post his work? i doubt.

i guarantee you that every hacker here will back me up on this.
as for my words, i'm sorry if i sound harsh, but is the truth what i said. if you are not happy with hacker's way to give support, learn yourself PHP and MySQL. i did the same. i'm tired to hear all kind of complainers who think we own them everything.

so that's the only reason i jump sometimes like that. do not take it personally, you simply got cought on my wave. if someone needs something, the only way to get it here is by being polite and patient. that's all i have to say.

regards,
nakkid.

Glad to see you've reopened nakkid. I unfortunately never saw this till it was closed and looked quite promising. Nice to see you have seen past the trolling masses to those who really respect your work. Good luck.

[Psychdrone]

Well said M8 and congrats on re opening the hack.

All good hacks are worth waiting for, and I will wait for as long as it takes.

Good job so far nekkid.. (from the caps) I'm looking forward to giving this a whirl..

[DrkFusion]

I will help beta test if you want :-/
This hack looks so cool.

[Aracnakat]

This hack looks awesome. I do have a question though .. I was thinking of getting vbPortal (I think that's the name) .. as I think it looks pretty awesome. I don't mind paying the $35.00 fee (heck, you guys do tons of work .. I think you should all get paid) ...

But, what I am wondering is how vbHome will differ from vbPortal. In other words .. I don't mind paying for either product, just want to know what the differences are so I can decide which would work the best for me and my website.

Thanks in advance!
