Major Additions - vBonjour - Portal System

vBonjour

Easy Customizable Portal System

Brought to you by www.peterska2.co.uk

Welcome to the launch of vBonjour. This is the base package which is required for all installations of this system.

What is vBonjour?
vBonjour is an alternative to vBAdvanced. It is an easy to install, modular portal system designed as a gateway to your site.

Why vBonjour?
This is pretty simple really. As the front page is the first thing that your visitors see, it is a welcome page. The first few names that were thought of were either very boring, or far too long winded and not at all catchy.

This is a base package. What is included?
The base package includes a news feature from up to two forums. The news from the first forum will be displayed first, followed by the news from the second forum. It also includes the left and right columns which can be activated or deactivated via some simple settings in the ACP. These columns can be customised without using any of the Add On Modules, or Add On Modules can be installed to expand on the functionality.

Why is it so modular?
vBonjour is extremely modular to allow for maximum customization of the page. The idea is to make it as easy as possible to install the items that you want to have included, and not have anything which you would be simply turning off. By using a modular method it means that every site can easily achieve their own custom portal without having to know any coding.

I want to add something that isn't already included. How do I go about this?
vBonjour makes use of the plugin system and includes it's own hooks. This allows easy devlopment of additional Add Ons and maximum flexability.

What about the ACP? Is it really complicated?
Unlike other systems, almost all the settings for vBonjour are collected in one setting group in the vBOptions. Because you only install what you want to use, you don't need to have lots of settings. Anything which does not use settings in the Portal settings group is highlighted in the documentation for that Add On.

Ok, so where are the screen shots?
Why have screen shots when you can have a live demo?
The demo is available at www.peterska2.co.uk

What versions of vBulletin does vBonjour work with?
vBonjour will work with vBulletin 3.6.0 and above. Support for sites running versions earlier than 3.6.0 will not be given.

I know of some ISP in the US blocking entire countries like India, but I would never thought of England blocking the US. Specially that my provider is one of the top in Miami.

Maybe someone else could provide me a link??

Does this work with the default styles I already have set, or does it install its own style like vBPortal? I purchased vBPortal but then realized I had to use their default styles and templates, so my theme (TvB Curves) wouldn't work with it.

I'm looking for a way to add navigation modules and such to my site without having to try and edit too many templates and such.

Its ok. Someday you'll need help with something. And I hope you get this sort of snotty response.

sorry you took this the wrong way it was never intended as a snotty remark , i am a newbie and that was the point i was trying to make, before jump in the deep end try out a few of the easier mods and learn a bit about the system thats what i'm doing, i'd love this mod and i'm following its progress but until i'm confident i can install it without destroying my board i'll watch and learn

Those who are having problems with 1.0.2 - is your vBonjour in your forum directory or are your forums located in a directory and the vBonjour file in the site root?

Also, everyone who is getting any errors, please confirm if you are using PHP & MySQL 4 or 5 along with full details of all errors being received.

Please see this post and provide the information requested

This works with your normal styles and does not need anything special, apart from maybe a couple of minor tweaks.

Thank you. When I get home from college later I'll run a test install onto a different setup on one of my test boards and see what is going on.
