Will vbulletin ever do a portal add-on? I would love a simple front page for my forum.

You jest? I just looked at the install.txt file for portal 3.0 and it's far from being satisfactory or complete. I beleive this to be the root cause of many install problems (check out the forum, which folder do I put the scripts in askes a few members) and it's not a stupid question either, maybe they should work on it.

I have mixed feelings about portal and when it might be finished and wither I would risk commiting to my forum??? On the one hand I would love it, on the other Hmmm.

Maybe it's time for another look.

Hmmm, I'm using vBPortal 3.0 PR6 on vBulletin 2.2.0 and it seems to be working stable

You can see it at work here:

It's still the best hack for vBulletin for me

I looked at the install script, the instructions are dire. The instruction:

Directory: /public_html.......................(vbPortals root directory)
Instead of the public_html, you can put into any sub-directory you choose.

Directory: /public_html/forums................(vBulletin root directory)
i.e. If you install vbPortal in a subdirectory called vbPortal, then it
would be /public_html/vbportal/forums.

WHAT would be? what is being referred to here, a path? what path? in the config file? where in the file?

Step 5 & 6 well more work lads, think from a newbie point of view. Alas until I see install instructions which are clear and concise I will have to leave well alone.

ps Crinos your forum looks great.

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