Administrative and Maintenance Tools - vBInfo for Windows (BETA)

I've pretty well stopped developing this as I don't really have the time (time is money) to spend on it. I figured I'd release a version of it so far in case someone found it useful to them. It's far from complete but there is some functionality.

Basically it's a windows application that lets you view real time information about your forum. Check the screen shots below for a better idea.

When you first run it, you will get an error because it will not be able to connect to your forum. A dialog then pops up asking you for information about your forum. What happens here is a php file will be uploaded to your forum that allows the application to talk to your forum to retrieve information. The php script is password protected and it does nothing but query your database so security isn't an issue.

This requires the .NET framework 2.0 to be installed on your PC.
This requires your PHP support GZIP compression

I am not going to officially support this but if you have a problem post it and I may be able to offer a suggestion.

So I'm assuming some of you have this up and running?

ngocha85 there is no other place to post this, its an application that intergrates into vBulletin.

It also happens to be a really good one.

I have it up and running, I believe you should finish this off as I think its a great idea

I may finish it in the future. I don't have a lot of time to dedicate towards projects like this unfortunately.

Great Program!

What would be even better? A Palm App or a Windows Mobile App for forum Admins who are on the go and need to do work on their site.

WOW incredible so would you mind if someone helped out with the finishing of this? I love the mobile idea thats a great one.

WOW I love it works just fine... Easy setup too.

Wow.
I can't believe no one has thought of this before! Remote Vbulletin administrating!
It'd be even better if it had more features such as thread viewing, etc.
I love the charts and the Forum tab where it tells you how much % it is from the total forum! It even tells you who's viewing it! Wow!
I love the details of this program, you can easily arrange the times, names, and so much more! Easy setup too! The Who's Online is a killer. That chart makes it even better! Very easy to read and understand. Great application!

Great work, it'd be even better if you continued on this project.

Edit: Wow! You can just click the username or thread URL on the program and it takes you there! Great work! But, there are some errors, like when you hit somewhere two times, you get an exception error. But, that's easily avoided by hitting the "Continue" button.

You need to specify an FTP login and directory that will point to the root of your forum. Test out the settings in an ftp program and make sure you are landing in the right directory.
