Which CMS do you use with your vBulletin?

[Freesteyelz]

vBadvanced is a fantastic product but it does lack support and clearly written manuals. Though, while a portal (and can be used for additional site sections), vBadvanced is not a CMS.

it's working great actually
u can see it here http://vbulletinsetup.com
and actually I have some good plans for WP, but have been concentrating on the forum right now, then I"ll tweak the front

but the SERP's have been picking up my keywords great

vBadvanced is not CMS, as somebody above said. Maybe is simple solution to somebody whos priority is forum-based page.

But we for example run portal, with multiple new contents every day, many articles, menus and complex structure. We run mambo, but we can't (yet) merge users.

El_Muerte, I checked your vbdrupal page. Honestly, how drupal and vB are doing together? Well? Is drupal using vb user table and login session?

It's single sign on. Sessions and user data are completely shared.

I was thinking of drupal for portal ... but I think it just never like the look. not slick and clean (imo). If I find a skin I like for drupal or figure out how to make one, I'd use it as a front end or an add-on for blogs etc. no problem.

very versatile... just again, really wish drupal had better available skins. Joomla looks better, imo, but poor/difficult integration with vbull.

I'm hopin that wordpress hack stony has been promising comes out for members blogs. but wordpress as a cms is peakin my interest as well.

so choices........

--vbdrupal (addon or as front end portal)
--joomla
--wordpress (addon or as front end portal)
--vbadvanced (front end portal/cms. and its a cms for all layman intents and purposes. and I'm a layman )


anything else?

lol omg, elmuerte.. I just noticed.. you're a unrealamdin admin? (don't know why I didn't make the connection before. doh!) I'm old school UTSA guy (since 99). I know justme, leebee, baiter etc (VDS, TSU, VAL, TA, SDA, etc. ) ... used to have the most popular server and site in UTSA till it went down when our admin went MIA (we're back now and growing again. ). I gotta say, always thought navigation there was the most confusing of any forum I've ever seen (imo). That said, its best admin resource handdown. nice work bro

That's mostly because of the (crappy) vbPortal software.

[Brandon Sheley]

i don't care for vbportal either,, and I'm a licensed owner.. used it for about 2 months, and haven't touched it since
I have posted some suggestions for them, but they don't care.

vbAdvanced for years now, love it!

[Shazz]

I think 90% of the people use the vbadvanced or simluar like a portal
