vBonjour

Easy Customizable Portal System

Who Has Posted Today Add On

Brought to you by www.peterska2.co.uk

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.

What is the Who Has Posted Today Add On?
The Who Has Posted Today Add On adds the details of al users who have posted on your forums today. This add on has two product files, one for existing users of Paul M's Who Has Posted Today modification, and one for fresh installations. In contrast to the other add ons, this one uses it's own setting group in the vBOptions. This allows existing users of the Who Has Posted Today modification to use the same settings.

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?
No screenshots are currently available and this is not yet available on the live demo. Once either screenshots are available or the live demo includes it, then this post will be updated.

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.

What versions of vBonjour does the Who Has Posted Today Add On work with?
This module is currently compatible with vBonjour version 1.0.0

Same here my second Bonjour too
But i guess some demo is needed

[peterska2]

Bear with me for a few mins, and I'll get this add on installed on my site as a demo.

[peterska2]

OK, I've installed it on the demo site www.peterska2.co.uk and it is below the site stats

[Paul M]

Except that appears to be visitors, not posters.

I realised that after I had done it, but I'm still actually running an early alpha version so until I upgrade myself tomorrow it's not so easy to switch things around.

your site appears to be currently down, it said problem loading page. but thanks for this add one, your system appears to be really good so far.

[peterska2]

My server has been a bit hit and miss for the last couple of days. If you get a problem loading page error, try it again in 5 mins and it should work.

I'm going to upgrade it later today and when I've done so take some screenshots of the different add ons too.
