Major Additions - Mindestic Gaming CMS Lite BETA

Important Beta Information
Do NOT use on a live site until the first official stable version is released. This public beta release is for testing and feedback purpose only so do NOT use for normal use. Stable version to be released in 2008 if time allows me to.

Any updates that come in the next few weeks will NOT have any upgrade features and you will need to remove and reinstall the mod again untill the stable version is released.

Thank you for taking the time to test Mindestic Gaming CMS Lite. Please do keep in mind that this is at very early stage of development so there are a TON of features that need to be worked on. I hope to hear from all of you soon.

Additional Future CMS Projects

This looks very interesting and right up my street..

I look forward to the finished article!

I havent got the time to add reviews and information to my Gaming site.
Will there be a way that I can give 10 selected members a way to add game review content or perhaps even have a User review capability?

Bravo2007: Well its the empty image that it loads, you know that square box. So until that is changed it won't display correctly. You can do the following for now, find:

PHP Code:

<td class="$bgclass"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]$displaygame[esrbimagesmall]" /></td> 


Replace it with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$displaygame['gameesrbid']">
<td class="$bgclass"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]$displaygame[esrbimagesmall]" /></td>
</if> 


Not sure if that would work, but something like that will be put in. As for the descriptive tag, good idea, forgot about that, so yes I will add that in so it does that.

evotion: A user review section and comments will be added in the future for sure, as for the selected members/mods, there might be something added as well, something under modcp, maybe on the client side as well.

very very very thanks

Looks good so far. Will this support cheat codes?

[SS9267547]

It will at a later date.

[username12]

Sounds good. I've been searching for a way to integrate user-submitted cheats into vBulletin for a while. Definitely my top desired feature.

Also would like to second evotion's request above. Perhaps something like the standalone ACP in RPG Inferno, though something in modcp would probably be suitable as well.

Interesting. Will be keeping an eye on this one for future use.

Now did you install a fresh copy or did you try upgrading? You need to install a fresh copy each time in the beta in case you didn't know.
