vBInfo for Windows (BETA) · **Released**: 06-23-2007

I've pretty well stopped developing this as I don't really have the time (time is money) to spend on it. I figured I'd release a version of it so far in case someone found it useful to them. It's far from complete but there is some functionality.

Basically it's a windows application that lets you view real time information about your forum. Check the screen shots below for a better idea.

When you first run it, you will get an error because it will not be able to connect to your forum. A dialog then pops up asking you for information about your forum. What happens here is a php file will be uploaded to your forum that allows the application to talk to your forum to retrieve information. The php script is password protected and it does nothing but query your database so security isn't an issue.

This requires the .NET framework 2.0 to be installed on your PC.
This requires your PHP support GZIP compression

I am not going to officially support this but if you have a problem post it and I may be able to offer a suggestion.

Did I do something wrong? When I'm logged in with vBinfo, users who can see detailed locations in "Who's Online?" can see the login AND the admin password!

actually now that I think about it, mods/admins could see the link password. Don't set the link password to the same as your admin password. It doesn't need your admin password in any way shape or form. Maybe I'll create a plugin to mask the vBInfo in the Who's Online in the future.

I'd also discourage manually uploading the php file as it will make future updates a PITA.

I do have gzip enabled.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
