Hi and thanks for looking at my post

Can someone please tell me - is it possible to set up a vbb forum for testing hacks etc before putting them on the main forum as it were eg:

main forum: guesswho
testing forum mrtest

If so what ids the best way to do this please..... so that one does not interfere with the other :ermm:

use something like the template system with your .php files.. so once you are done testing it you can set it back to the default.

Thanks neo

I have templates etc.....

The problem is - when i do some hacks i get errors (newbie lol) so it would have been nice i thought. if it was possible to set up another vbb forum on the same server. As like a sub dir, just for testing hacks etc.. before they are put on the main forum.

If you seee what I mean ?!?!?!?

I do but you need another vbulletin licence to do that. you can only have one vb running for every licenece. Thats why you make a template like system for the php files... which might be a pain to make since you need to right back and forth to the files.

You are allowed to run a test system as long as it isn't publicly accessible.

aaaaaaaarrrrrrr right hehe Pleased about that....

Thats what i would like to do then, so what would be the best way of doing it please.

I have my main forum (which I paid for licence by the way lol) but all I would like to do is create a 2nd hidden one just for testing.

Will not be used for any thing else - all I'd like to do is test in for eg mrtest forum, ensure it works okay then use in my main forum.

?!?!?!?!?!?

thanks in advance

Ask firefly or one of the other mods / creators if you can run a beta forums.

Ehh, it's a known fact you may run a testing board to test hacks and templates, as long as it's not used for anything else nor accessible by anyone other than yourself.

Heck I think I run about 4 boards locally...

Alright that is good to know.. I was never really sure of that myself.
