About Developer · **Released**: 02-14-2002

THIS PROJECT WAS CLOSED BEFORE. REASON EXPLAINED HERE
I WILL START WORKING AGAIN ON THE PROJECT... Below is the original start thread:
---------------------------------
i love VB. it's so flexible. and that's why i want to have VB as main engine in administrating a website in general. this is not a hack. is ment to turn VB from simply a BB into a website. not a portal!!!! i hate portals, they are all so boring....

the way i plan to make it work this project is this:
01. everyone can make it look the way he(she) wants
02. flexible html code insertion for main page based on templates
03. news
04. stats
05. reviews and links
06. everything else what the user wants, because is based on his ideas, not some standard rules implemented by a portal design.

i have the full package prepared. i need beta testers who have php knowledge and can help me eradicate those bugs.
FireFly, you helped me all the time. i hope you will do it this time also. the installed is prepared. to run it and have it up and running it takes only 2 minutes, and you can start to evaluate the little errors i made.

the biggest issue that i have is with the Private Sections. this is where i want to focus my attention. please let me know here if there are any of you willing to help me test it and clear some of the bugs. i know the project is big. but once completed, alot of people will be gratefull. the same idea was discussed at VB.com about this project being optional for VB. i want it to make it come true. please spare some of your precious time and help me help others.

we are a community, and that's why i like this place because i always got help from all of you.
ANY SUGGESTIONS, DIRECTIONS, ETC ARE WELCOME!

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.14):
the sections are born. implemented the right permissions using the same user database, so people who sign in on the main page will not need to login into forums again.
Screenshoots:
the sections | the permissions

Current BUGS:
> group permissions are not set as Default like in Forums
> Private Sections cannot be enabled

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.15):
group permissions fixed

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (feb.17):
install script finalised. all bugs related to installer fixed.
for a glance at the installer click here.

the script checks if the fields and tables are present in the database. it also give you an option do flush them and start a clean install.
database table and fields presence process can be viewed here. the vbHome options settings are here.

-----------------------------------
UPDATE (may.09):
Main news engine is now final and bug free.

If I install vbHome (lite) right now, will I be able to upgrade to vbHome without having to start all over?

Should I just wait for the full version to be released?

Bumping for the sheer coolness of this hack and the hopes of getting a response of some type from its creator

)

No rush, just a status would be nice since it was once closed before.

nakkid,
I am extremly excited for this to be released. Good luck with development... I know it's going to be awesome.

no. the full version is far more advanced. i started to rewrite the code, keeping in mind the low query usage (poking at firefly). so far i managed to pull everything into 22queries.

i'm particulary proud of the comments area... i will post some new screenshots, once completed...
i expect maximum 30queries for a full overloaded index.php page, for those users who want to go to the extreme.. for the normal users, 22 should be great.

For all I know, you already said this somewhere, but could you give us a ballpark of when the thing will be done? This thing sounds incredibly awesome, and I can't wait to see it in action.

TECK · #87 05-04-2002, 08:58 PM

unfortunatelly not. i devellop right now my site to be fully powered by VB. in the same time i write the vbHome code.

Bad Bunny · #88 05-08-2002, 04:19 AM

Well, I will purchase this as well. You seem to really put alot of hard work into your hacks, and this one looks to be massively awsome.

TECK · #89 05-08-2002, 08:02 AM

just to make things clear, once done the code, i will contact jelsoft and ask them if they will give me the permission to install it for people who are licensed. if granted, no files will be delivered. it will be installed by myself, on your server. then you will be able to customize it.

if refused, i will use the code for my website ONLY.

lets remember that all the code i write is inspired from the actual VB files, who are copyrighted. rest assured that i will make sure no jelsoft regulations are infringed.

Admin · #90 05-08-2002, 09:43 AM

Why do you install it yourself? I wouldn't go around giving my server info to other people.

Fusion · #91 05-09-2002, 02:41 PM

As FireFly pointed out, Jelsoft even stress quite streniously not to give out the info needed for you to install that to anyone except people working for Jelsoft. Furthermore, if they did agree, it'd mean alot of work for you on every upgrade.

I'm also a vbPortal-user, nakkid, so like others, I'd be willing to pay to get to use this hack.

Thanks!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
