I agree, this is a huge plugin I need for vB4 before I move my other forums over and upgrade. This is a huge factor in that process for me.

fix it to vb4 plz

LOL.. how many of you that DEPEND on this mod on 3.x have bothered to donate to the dev?

I hope that it was most if not all of you.

While I look forward to a 4.0.x release of this, if I had relied heavily on it in 3.x I would at least donate something... even if he isn't going to continue it... which, while there is lot of speculation, we really are not sure if it is or not.

This is a major mod from what I understand and isn't something that just gets done overnight. I am surprised at the number of mods that have been converted so far as all of them have taken some considerable amount of money and resources to do so (such as paying the upgrade fees, etc.)

I hope that bananalive can afford to do as such.

Nice assumptions there...

Anyway...

I've spent about 5 hours tonight converting this mod to vB4 and so far it's going pretty well (with a lot more to go, minus debugging). It's a lot of work, but thankfully the author is pretty kick ass and everything is nice and clean.

Assuming I am completely successful and get it working on my own forums, I'll attempt to contact the author at that time to see if it's ok to release. No one expect anything or hold your breath though.

Please keep us posted. I'll gladly donate to help the cause.

I won't be accepting donations as this isn't my code. I'm still working on the conversion though, we'll see.

Trek I sent you a PM.

Also if bananna does get it converted I will find some cash to donate.

I was using this mod on my 3.8x forum for a while, and it was very neat and useful mod.

However, there was one feature missing which to me was valuable. This feature is to move users who complete "x" form to "y" usergroup. And if this is done on a form by form basis, what this can achieve is forms progressing users from one usergroup to another, which is what I needed.

I am not on vbulletin 4.0, and I am liking it mostly, however, I am interested still on this mod. Good luck and thank you for working on converting this mod, Trek. If you ever have the time / permission in the future ahead, could you think about this idea. I wold happily donate to see this happen.

Just a quick note, I have this working for VB4 now. So far it's been about 20 hours just to convert it. Granted some of those hours are just from my learning what I'm doing and how to convert to VB4 and all of that, but it's been... interesting. =)

There are a LOT of style issues as most of the styling didn't carry over. Knowing next to nothing about styling, this could take me a bit to fix. There are a few bugs here and there that I am still cleaning up (I'm sure there's more I don't know about) but I can create new forms, submit them and view them.

I've PM'd Bananalive here on the forums asking his permission to release this, but have yet to hear from him. We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know it's working and hopefully we'll have something useful soon.

Great Job Trek, very well done, hope he will allow you to port it to vb4 soon.

Good luck.
