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.

Newbie here. Everything installed fine but I can't get my forum to display in the front page of my portal. I'm assuming it's something to do with adding code to the portal template. The nav item comes up fine but I can't find anything on displaying the forum 'wrapped' inside the portal.

If you click here you get my portal www.helixpedia.com and here for my forum www.helixpedia.com/forum

It's a fresh vB install so the forum has only one test post.

Oh, I also have a wiki installed that I'd like the portal to wrap (www.helixpedia.com/wiki) - is this possible with vBonjour

Any takers?

Cheers

Ive installed it outside of the forum directory, but when someone tries to login or click on any of the links it says file not found, because its not going through to the forum. Please look to see what I mean, how do I change this? http://www.pesforum.co.uk/

Admin Control Panel > Forums & Moderators > Forum Manager - select the forum you wish to know the ID for, then look at the top of the window.

I have an issue with the left column showing above the center news column, and the title area of a news post is stretched vertically with the collapse button above views and replies.
