Software Suggestion

[dog199200]

Hello everyone! I've done some digging through the database here to see if I could find something that would work for my needs and to my luck nothing.. So I figured maybe the community can help point me in the right direction on a few things. First off it might help if I explain my project. I am working on developing a video game website and am trying to add in some community based features. The problem is that I am either lacking the ability to find what I am looking for, OR everything I am finding just is crap and ain't even close to what I am looking for. So here is a list of things I am looking for and maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Please keep in mind that these may not all be related to the vBulletin forum software directly, but since I built a whole website around the vbulletin core they're one in the same.

Image Gallery

The first of things that I am looking for is a good photo gallery. I know that vBulletin has it's own built in, but it is extremely hard to pick apart and everyone can access it. I'm kind of looking for something like this. Clean, easy to navigate, and also easy to integrate into a preexisting design.

E-Commercial

I am looking to add a store system where players can buy items. I want something that uses a custom currency. Lets say I want it to be called "credits". The person would then use paypal to buy a certain amount of credits. An example would be 5000 credits for $5. Those credits are then spent in the store. Again, something that integrates easily. I would like something where if they click on an item it brings up a window displaying a picture, cost, description, etc. If you've seen Cabal's shop that is a great example. Can't provide a link since only members can access.

Help Desk/Ticket

I'm just looking for a decent help desk/ticket system that integrates easily into vbulletins login system. Something like this would be nice.


Online Application Software

We all should know what this is.. Almost any company online uses it these days. I've searched, but I might not be searchign for the right things because I can't seem to find any good ones at all that allow me to self host it all.. I'm not a big fan of having 3rd party hosts for things. It makes integration a nightmare..


Over all I have an idea of what I want, but I don't know where to look. I could program a lot of these but I am not the biggest fan of javascript, or more like it's not the biggest fan of me... I do got my own shop system as it is, but since it's all php based it's rather blah. I would greatly appreciate it.
