Why so little attention towards CMS integration?

thank you amy...

that's exactly what I thought it would be ... however, I don't agree on the multiple dropdown interface ... it's one of the least friendly form elements available

it wouldn't be hard to implement

oh, I forgot to mention ...
the url that you provided is giving me an empty page

[amykhar]

That explains the lack of traffic Looks like I broke something the other day and it shows blank pages for logged out users. Off to make repairs...

Lol, loved your post.

I have been in the market for a commercial CMSfor our site, but after doing the research and trial and error I think we will eventually start to slowely build a custom one.

For our company it's not as much of the integration with vbulletin , but workflow.
We were using VirtuaNews , till we upgraded to 3.6.1 of vb and VirtuaNews decided to spring a leak and stopped working.

great speech Cyburbia!
I think, vbteam has a problem with marketing and analyzes.
Not investing in cms is a mistake.
Think a scenario where Microsoft (Bill Gates) ignored to research operating system market and rejected to develop Windows, by focusing just at Office packets working with dos.

I have to agree. My partner and I were just talking about this, we too have been searching for a CMS system to integrate with vB, and would be willing to pay a reasonable sum to get something flexible and **reliable**.

vBulletin should be aware that more and more people are jumping on social networking and lightweight forum systems integrated in CMS' like Joomla/Drupal. vBulletin is the reigning king of forum software, but they are (IMO) in some danger of getting caught in a smaller and smaller market segment as the CMS forum system become more and more capable.

Either fish or cut bait. Build an effective CMS to go with vBulletin, or commit to providing reliable integration systems for the big dogs in the CMS arena. That way folks would feel comfortable using vBulletin WITH Joomla and havng the best of both worlds. We've bought one of the bridges for vB Joomla ($50) but I'm NOT feeling comfortable with the fact that it doesn't work under 3.6.4 atm. Thinking about getting stranded with an inability to upgrade my vBulletin because the Bridge vendor dropped support for newer versions of vB makes me queasy...

At this point I think we've decided to drop joomla, and go back to using vbGeek's GARS system and some customized image handling to build the article system we need. vbGeek's stuff is very cool...

I do agree to this comments, Vbulletin should look beyond forums now, integrating Vbulletin with other CMS products....

ive wanted a dedicated vb cms forever. i use subdreamer for now. its alright, it uses vb users/groups and can force its own skin over vbulletins so it looks integrated, but its not really integrated because you still have separate admins and the only skin changes are that it adds a header. but, it does have some plugins, but most suck and are useless.

id pay $100+ even as much as $200 or $300 if it was top notch and worked and had an active development community behind it (not just one or two people doing it in their free time).

Subdreamer is not too bad, but I would like to see a serious intergration project with PostNuke .8 this new PN version has some very cool features and is, in my opinion, more advanced then most CMS's out there. The only problem with postnuke is that its community almost died.

Postnuke is the only one with a well figured out template system and easy to use backend. For me the backend has always been the problem with CMS's like joomla/drupal/typo3 I want a simple category or topic module and basic links.
