Default Approved Messages & Blog Capabilities
please see this thread for some background: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=181635

Essentially I'm looking into VB to convert an existing phpBB board. I need to be able to do the following:

"Blog" entries. I use the term blog loosley but take a look at www.sdotson.com (my other site). Notice the "blog" entries are just posts from the forums that have a keyword in the title (INVENTOR, SITE NEW, TUTORIAL) and were posted by me. Again this is a custom script. What I'd REALLY like to do is to allow admins to "approve" ANY post in the forums to become one of these NEWS items. Is there an addin or such that would allow this using VB.

Is there a hack opr addin that allows this? TIA.

I use a featured threads script combined with vbadvanced portal to make my site more bloggy - and allow mods to feature threads on the front page.

I've also added pinging, tags and a tag cloud. Am adding other blog features gradually over time. You can see it in action at:

http://www.eaforums.com

So yes, it can be done.

Fair enough. I was just curious how it worked. I hope to be moving over to VB within the next few months.

Thanks again for the info.

Well I'm offically licensed now. Any chance you could point me towards that "featured threads" script now?

Thanks...

Oh, man do I feel bad to have to tell you about this. The author has since yanked the script, saying it was going to be updated and then never reposted it.

So you want to be able to mark any thread (or post?) as news?

Yes. Ideally I want to replicate what I have going on here:
www.sdotson.com (which gets the posts from www.mcadforums.com)

Looks like you are working on such an app?
