We are taking this in another direction. If you want this done, please subscribe to this thread, post a "second" (like BOTM nomination) for this mod, and wait for the poll.

Asking a mod to lock this.

Unfortunatelly i was right... This project not even got started, and the coder is already asking ppl if they actually want another project?!? Sorry i was right... i really wanted to see something better than 8WayRun.com Media Library. I think i'll better pay a private coder to just fix the old 8WayRun Media Library. When it will be done, i'll ask him to post it here for free. I just hope he will have the rights to distribute that code... Good luck guys!

I fully agree. In my opinion there is not much work to do. With simple modification in media_ajax_comment.js now I'm able to add new comment.
Still problem with "description" and edit comments.

Okay... you got the number of people to commit to giving you the money asked for and now you're "taking this in another direction?"

Gee I only read a few of the early pages ....

wtf is going on - do you want 50 for a media library or not!!

Media Library is what I need now that we've upgraded to 414 and the old version seems to be having problems!!

Are we looking for money for a media library or has that now been squashed for other projects????

Lets keep focused on this issue please

I'll give, but only for a media library .....

Hello Everyone,

Let me try to explain a few things here as I don't want this to look bad on Lancerforhire. It was my idea to start this thread, I contacted Lancer privately and asked him if he would be interested in doing this if there was interest and he agreed.

Now, we needed 15 people to get this going, easier said than done.

People keep coming on board and others dropping out, all for totally valid reasons, so this was becoming very time consuming in recruiting contributors.

Also, lets say we did get the 15 people on board and got this going, what I would have liked as a completed project may not have been the opinion of everyone on the committee. Even with a well structured project plan, I am sure there would have been people who contributed who would not have been please with the completed project.

So I think Lancer has the best approach here, he will develop this sell it commercially. This way a user can see what they are buying and see if it suits there particular needs.

If you guys can get the permission of the developer of 8WayRun Media Library and have him give you the rights to modify his code, more power to you and good luck!

I just wanted to clear the air and I didn't want this thread to turn into a Lancer bashing thread, as again, this was my idea.

I for one have no problem paying for a good mod that suits my needs and is fully supported by a good developer and his company.

Thanks to all who were willing to participate in this venture, but if you sit back and think about it, I think this is the best way to go.

I am asking if a mod can please close this thread.

Oh nice .. another commercial product that most people wont be able to afford - is this a commercial forum now?

I just love projects that start well intentioned and end up costing us hundreds of dollars renewals each year ...... all of my sites are free to my members - but certainly not for me!

I know this is not a commercial forum and this is why I am asking to close the thread as this is the direction this is taking.

Lastly, for the mods of VB.org, please note, I am not trying to promote any developer, company or modification.

But I felt the people that where ready to contribute and participated in this thread had a right to know what direction this was taking so they can make alternative arrangements if need be.
