vbHome... a new aproach to webdesign

THIS PROJECT WAS CLOSED BEFORE. REASON EXPLAINED HERE
I WILL START WORKING AGAIN ON THE PROJECT... Below is the original start thread:
---------------------------------
i love VB. it's so flexible. and that's why i want to have VB as main engine in administrating a website in general. this is not a hack. is ment to turn VB from simply a BB into a website. not a portal!!!! i hate portals, they are all so boring....

the way i plan to make it work this project is this:
01. everyone can make it look the way he(she) wants
02. flexible html code insertion for main page based on templates
03. news
04. stats
05. reviews and links
06. everything else what the user wants, because is based on his ideas, not some standard rules implemented by a portal design.

i have the full package prepared. i need beta testers who have php knowledge and can help me eradicate those bugs.
FireFly, you helped me all the time. i hope you will do it this time also. the installed is prepared. to run it and have it up and running it takes only 2 minutes, and you can start to evaluate the little errors i made.

the biggest issue that i have is with the Private Sections. this is where i want to focus my attention. please let me know here if there are any of you willing to help me test it and clear some of the bugs. i know the project is big. but once completed, alot of people will be gratefull. the same idea was discussed at VB.com about this project being optional for VB. i want it to make it come true. please spare some of your precious time and help me help others.

we are a community, and that's why i like this place because i always got help from all of you.
ANY SUGGESTIONS, DIRECTIONS, ETC ARE WELCOME!

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.14):
the sections are born. implemented the right permissions using the same user database, so people who sign in on the main page will not need to login into forums again.
Screenshoots:
the sections | the permissions

Current BUGS:
> group permissions are not set as Default like in Forums
> Private Sections cannot be enabled

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.15):
group permissions fixed

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.17):
install script finalised. all bugs related to installer fixed.
for a glance at the installer click here.

the script checks if the fields and tables are present in the database. it also give you an option do flush them and start a clean install.
database table and fields presence process can be viewed here. the vbHome options settings are here.

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (may.09):
Main news engine is now final and bug free.

yes you can. but why you want to run vbPortal in the same time? vbHome will let you design any aspect of your site the way you want it... is integrated in vBulletin so you have one admin panel to build(edit) all your site.

sorry pretty new to php but i guess iv just got used to ne member being able to submit news which can then be displayed on the portal pages and also the download management is pretty good in the portal with shackrats addon so i guess im just looking at your addon to build web pages to me i can see a use for all 3 but then i havent seen wat i can do with your addon and i probly dont know anywhere near enuff php to develop a vbhome that i may like to have, still im here to learn
definately looking forward to its release tho:up:

i am in agreeance with a portal is a bit plain as know ne1 can have it

[Ian Cunningham]

How long do you think it will be before its released? I'm not trying to sound impatient, but it sounds like such a good addition!

That really sucks a duck right there, I was looking forward to using this killer hack

Sorry, I think your hacks are pretty killer and I can understand, everyone hates to be put down specially after all the hard work you put into things.

Wow, quite sad to see this project closed. I'm getting to the point where I'll soon have almost all my site using templates and vB stuff instead of the vBPortal, too. Best of luck, but not all of us are brats who call others lamers.

do you really think is up to you to decide how and when i publish my hacks, or anyone else? consider yourself lucky that we have a great hacker community who are willing to share their knowledge.

because people like you many hackers dont post their work.

Woohoo!! Thanks for reconsidering nakkid. I'll be looking forward to this. Take your time, as I'm sure it will be an awesome hack, and great for a project I'm starting. Cheers! Once again, thanks.
