Lets combine funds for a Reviews CMS with business/product directory

[Alfa1]

I have added these functions to the want list:

The use of vbCMS is preferred because of the following existing functionality. If another CMS would be chosen then this functionality would need to be included:

• vb postbit is shown
• vb avatar is shown
• profiles link to vb profile
• design can be integrated

I no longer consider vbCMS to be the optimal avenue. The solution should integrate with it, but should not be dependent upon it. This will make it easier to migrate away from vbulletin if needed. Recent developments have shown that it may be wise to migrate away from vbulletin when its possible. (the latter is dependent upon XF or IPB closing the functionality gap)

I too am very interested in this Mod, although for just a few to pump money in the project doesn't seem to me the way to go. Let's say five people get onboard and complete task for just 5 "members"...where is the motivation for support and upgrades as needed?

I suggest a small group of "investors" get the project up and running then put it up on a pay for subscription site and let everyone else have a shot at it.

As money comes in investor group could get their money back and the rest could go for future upgrades to keep the project alive.

I've seen other projects like this fizzle really quickly. Somewhere in the $30-$50 range for one year subscription should generate plenty of funds to keep things going in the long term.

Just my thoughts.

I agree with FannBlade. Some resolution on this point will enable my investment and participation. 300euros is no problem.

And I agree with Alfa1 that this should be an XF extension.

And is cow³ branching this concept?

XF 4 sure although it still just pisses me off that IB is playing stupid on this ig the vender plug in on some of their sites which BTW are still running the pre buy out version yet they are continuing development on that stage of the software six months after the release of 4.0 and they haven't even bothered upgrading to 3.86
Setting up your Vendor Directory

and their video instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxPh3-w4Cow

looking at the the ventures that IB is undertaking it is becoming painfully obvious there is a conflict of interest as they are in Direct competition with those that they sell software to and furthermore have access to inside information of any competitor that uses vbulleton as the backbone and requires technical assistance.

I would like to call on everyone who is interested in this project to take a last look at the feature list and post any suggestions you want to see added.

Yes, they are in direct competition. Just see how many people mention that IB is their competitor now. Happened to me too.
In any case: the vendor listing system that IB has, they can keep. It sucks IMHO.

Advanced Content System

I am working on a script similar to GARS.
It is fully compatible with vBulletin 4 and uses jQuery in the front-end like star rating.
You can see some images here: Advanced Content System

Tell me what you think and what functions you want.

Wow very nice.
Are the readers or guests able to rate all points too?
Or can they just vote the cumulative Rating?

Other Point: Would be nice to ad a shop button (Buy this Product), and a field to put in affiliate Code, maybe with rewrite of it to short link.

It is really looking very nice, what do you think, when you go to relese it?

This year?

Readers and guests, if they have permission will be able to rate all points. If enabled, will be able to vote only when making a reply.

You can add a new text field where the thread starter can write the link and then include this field in a custom module or in the thread with a simple template edit.

Will be releasing a beta version later this month. And expect to release the final version this year.

Feel free to comment and tell me your requirements.

@ForumsMods

looks very good. I'm waiting eagerly for the first beta version.

Is this the same Mod?
