vbClubs by Mary Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Today Dec 27th, 2007 MicroHellas has been acquirent by a team of vB coders so all MicroHellas's Modules are temporary removed as per new owner's request. -------------- THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE!!! Please DO NOT INSTALL this version in live sites. All known bugs have been fixed but maybe there are security holes in the code. Demo at: http://www.madebymary.com/demoarea/vbclubsindex.php - Known Bugs:
There are 3 ways that vbClubs can work in your community. Trying to explain with simple words what are Clubs, I can say that they're small communities inside your community. So, the 3 ways are:
- User Highlights
Unlike other scripts which don't take care to protect minors and visitors from unmonitoring posts (photos ot text), vbClubs has a build-in filter to show only posts marked as "non Adult" content. This switcher is avaliable in all pages and by default it's turn on (filtering on). So, it's up to your visitors to turn it off if they want to see all the content. Much more, to avoid repeating actions any time that he/she is visiting your site, this setting is storing in cookie. Also if a Member wants to participate in a Club that has adult content, he is getting a warning message about it and he must click "I Agree" to continue the registration procedure. - Member Clubs Clubs are the heart of vbClubs. Any single item from Blogs, For Sale, Galleries, Videos, Events and e-Cards belong to a Club. Depending on user's decision a Club can be Public (viewable from all Members) or Private where Members who want to participate to this club must register answering the questions that the club's owner maybe has setup and then await the authorization from the owner to be able to enter and use it. Also Club's owner must categorize his club as Adult or non Adult. Finally the owner has the ability to temporary hide his club or any sibgle part of it. A great feature is that the owner can setup unlimited questions for his registration form using radio buttons, checkboxes, droplists, multiselect list, text and textarea. This way he can get usefull information for his decision to accept the member or not. Each club has it's own forum where he has full Moderator rights. This is good to avoid spam posts or any post not interesting for others. Common features like Rating, Bookmarking etc are also available. - Blogs & Articles Blogs section has nothing special but for sure nothing less that all other blogging mods. It's special point is that the owner, can setup his own categories and so to categorize his blogs. Also it supports outgoing RSS feeds for all blogs. - For Sale (Classifieds) Another common(??) section in Social Networking scripts? But if you check it you'll see that is not just a classifieds section. It's a real mini-cart. Members can post Ads for sale, setup the price and their PayPal address so they can accept real time payments thanks to PayPals IPN system. Need more deep features? They can setup different PayPal address for each item for sale. And if Admin setups a category "Donations" for free post of Ads, then they can accept even donations from their Club's members. Members can rate and bookmark items for sale. - Meet Me (Dating like) This is a clone of the well known MeetMe. It's a funny Dating like module (A real Dating module with powerfull features will be realize soon). The way that it works is: Jack is seeing Mary's photo and he likes her. Then he clikcs on "Meet Me". Mary gets a message that Jack likes her and she is seeing Jack's photo. If she likes him then she accepts the invatiation and a double mach has done. From now and then they can communicate with no restrictions. - Photos & Videos
With features that I didn't even found in expensive Calendar scripts, this section will become very popular in your community. Depending on his permissions, every member can cost events, accept registrations and ..payments for participation!! Yes, that's right. If the member has a Premium or Business account with PayPal, can accept online payments. PayPal's Instant Payment Notification auto adds the participant on the list after a successfull payment. - e-Cards
To get donations especially for a website is something very difficult. Do you know why? Because none webmaster gives attention to show donors in public. Just a "Thank you" email is not enought if you want to get donations from your members. Everybody wants a special care in exchange for his donation. The Donation section (in case that you'll activate it) will helps you by giving a special place for your donors with many features like top donors, most active donors etc. - User Control Panel A well designed place full of power. Anything that a member wants to do is there. Create anything, editing anything. Following up his sales & event registrations. Adding, removing bookmarks. Reading latest post of Club's forums that he has subscribte. Making a donation, or checking his permissions for what he can do and what not in the community. In addition, most common vB's control panel actions are there. For example, changing his profile or signature, adding photo or avatar. You must see it and you'll love it. *** Installation *** Step 1 Unzip vbclubs.zip and upload all files and directories including at vbulletin directory to the directory where vBulletin is installed. Step 2 CMOD following directories to 777
For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off Step 4 Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled. Step 5 From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_vbclubs.xml Step 6 If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template: Search For: Code: <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td> Add Below: Code: <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbclubsindex.php$session[sessionurl_q]">MySpace</a></td> ....or use any other word you want Step 7 By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbClubs, so you need to give permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions. Step 8 Still in your admincp select Scheduled Tasks/Add New Scheduled task. Fill in:
If you've installed vbSEO, Login into vbSEO Control Panel, click "Custom Rewrite Rules", insert rewrite rules (vbseorules.txt) and save settings. *** Copyright *** The script cannot be redistributed, reproduced, or published in any way. Modifying this script and sharing or publishing your modification A-N-Y-W-H-E-R-E (including here)without the author's written permission is not allowed, but you can modify it as you want but just for your own use. In addition to above restrictions you can't develop and share addons for 3nd party scripts (eg for vBadvanced). And of course copyright removal is not permited.

You can let display order 0, is not problem. Just in this case the categories will be order by catgerory id.

Oh, and yes, it is best if you go through each setup page and add in at least one category for each item... otherwise you'll get SQL errors or items not showing up
