vbMates Dating Module by Mary http://www.MadeByMary.com
This is the Latest Full Unrestricted Commercial version. There is NO time limit in use. I'm giving it out for free as I'll include a more configurable version in my upcoming module vbClubs
For Support on installation problems only (but NOT for template modifications) please visit my site.
vbMates is a Dating Module for vBulletin. Supports Males seeking Females and Females seeking Males. For any other combination, it's better to check my other module vbPals, which is a special version of vbMates for Adult Dating sites.
1. vbMates's Highlights
Very detailed Profile
Multiple Search (Gender, Age range, Location, Has Photo)
Profile Rating.
Search by Nickname.
User can use different Nickname to keep anonymity.
User can use different Email to receive messages.
Email Profile to a friend.
Report Profile as illegal to admin.
Statistics by Gender (Male/Female).
Top Male, Top Female on front page.
Newest Male, Newest Female on front page.
Modern, 2 columns, design on listings.
2.- Why your Members will love it
Story like profile view. No more a techical specification like listing. A view like "Passion is a Male, 48 years old, living in Texas, United States..." is much more attractive to those who read the profile.
Who has viewed me is a function found only in $$$ scripts. User is not only able to see who has viewed his profile, but also when and how many times. So he can easily understand that repeating visitors are much interesting for him.
3.- Great income for your site!
The nice, very clear in different background on listings design, for all featured members, will be a sure reason for them to pay to become featured members. Featured members also appear in random in front page and in the top of every listing's page. Also the fact that there are so many configuration per usergroup, it's a reason to add many subscriptions with different access level.

7.- Installation
Upload the entire /vbmates directory to your webserver UNDER the folder where
your vBulletin is installed. eg if your vb installation is located at: http://www.yourdomain.com/forums then the /vbmates directory must be under this (/forums).
Upload vbmates.php at your forum directory (!!NOT!! in vbmates directory).
Upload the file /admicp/vbmates_admin.php to your /admincp directory
Upload the files in /includes/xml/*.* to your /includes/xml/
CMOD the directory /vbmates/photos to 777 (Writable for all). It stores the photos
that your members will post at their pofiles.
CMOD the directory /vbmates/tmp to 777 (Writable for all). It stores temporary
the photos for image manipulation and then deletes them.
For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system
is enabled.
From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_vbmates.xml
If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template:
Search For:
By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbMates, so you need to give
permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
Configure vbMates to meet your needs at AdminCP->vbMates->Options
