THIS SCRIPT IS NOT FOR COMPLETE NEWBIES!
If you are not used to changing script code. Please let someone else do the job for you that know more 'scripting'.

This script requires modification to your database.

I take no responsibily as to what happens to your website after you install this script.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy my contribution!

Looking forward to the updates! When it happens - you will see a paypal payment from my company.

True that. I will release the new version. It will hopefully be what you're all wanting, features and stability wise.

I'm in the same boat, I love this hack but I can't install it on my live forum until the edit feature is working. But as soon as that's fixed, I'll be installing it and sending some $ too you.

I really love this hack!!!

why not charge $15 for it, so you have more incentive to work on it, or by donation. Its a cool system and will ad value to our forums so I don't see any problem in paying a bit to have a clean working script like this. I'm sure others will agree.

I totally disagree with this. vBulletin.org is for free vBulletin modifications. If he will not release this modification here it will not be known as much as it is known right now. Donation is something else buyt charging is totally something else and if it will be like that i'll choose to uninstall this mod and i believe lots of people will do the same.

Hey its all good but Swedie your going about this all wrong. If you want to generate money you cant upload on a free site and on top of it have a version that isnt working properly. I think if you stop and look at it from my view you will see that would not make money for you right?

And not to be rude but I even gave you my email to contact me off of vb.org remember? I PM'ed you and said if you can work directly on my site I would pay. I never heard back from you after you gave me your email.

So that made me decide to un-install the hack.

[T3MEDIA]

Updatting is going to be hard for you guys if he makes a new version that has a bunch of re-writes to the hack.

I dont know what version is what. I wish you guys the best of luck

Same here. Although our forum doesn't make money, if a hack is good we don't have a problem "donating" some money. The problem is that this hack should have gone through beta first, there were far too many problems in the early versions. Most people that would have been willing to donate uninstalled this hack a long time ago and there's an overall "dissapointed" feeling throughout this thread. It's a great idea and I've stuck with it and even found workarounds to the edit problems but it has taken up alot of my own time to get it working and it's still rather buggy. I'm patiently waiting for the update, but I'm sorry swedie, it's hard to make a donation for an unfinished hack.

[frage]

I'm willing to donate a hack,
if this hack is working without database crash und if it is work in all browsers, not only in IE
gustbook doesn't work for me,

webpage --- more than one day I spend to repair the html
because it is neither correct html nor xhtml
and

I'm not a good coder but hardcoded (false) html in php files
isn't necessary

I know that we have done this many years ago..
but today?!

also I've spent many time to use all my different styles in the templates

Sweedi
your idea is great
but
please take a look at some modification on the board here...
some with full installscripts
correct html and php code like jelsoft
and a full support service

best regards
frage

Rest of the installation is the same.

I do suggest holding off. I have an update for this script now and it includes the WYSIWYG editor.

Hi everyone.... I am trying to install this mod but I can't figure out the INIT bitfields. I have read and reread the instructions and the posts but my INIT bitfields are different. Me being new to PHP and VB I cannot figure this out.

Here is what my field names for general permissions (vb version 3.0.07) looks like:

// field names for general permissions
$_BITFIELD['usergroup']['genericpermissions'] = array(
'canviewmembers' => 1,
'canmodifyprofile' => 2,
'caninvisible' => 4,
'canviewothersusernotes' => 8,
'canmanageownusernotes' => 16,
'canseehidden' => 32,
'canbeusernoted' => 64,
'canprofilepic' => 128,
'canseeraters' => 256, // Permission removed in 3.0.2 ## Maintain backwards compatibility with 3.0.0 and 3.0.1
'canuseavatar' => 512,
'canusesignature' => 1024,
'canusecustomtitle' => 2048,
'canseeprofilepic' => 4096,
'canviewownusernotes' => 8192,
'canmanageothersusernotes' => 16384,
'canpostownusernotes' => 32768,

'canviewguestbook' => 134217728,
'canpostguestbook' => 268435456,

// Reputation

'canseeownrep' => 256,
'canuserep' => 524288,
'canhiderep' => 1048576,
'cannegativerep' => 2097152,
'canseeothersrep' => 4194304,
'canhaverepleft' => 8388608,
);

Can someone tell me how to fix this to include this mods field numbers?

Any help is greatly appreciated.....( I am too young to have so much gray hair --- besides...gray hair on girls is not attractive LOL )
