World Wide Messenger Integration

[Jafo232]

This hack will basically integrate the World Wide Messenger with VBulletin. The hack is more involved with hacking the Messenger itself than hacking VB, in fact, you need not edit the VB source code at all.

For this reason, I am just going to include the link to the World Wide Messenger forum for details on this hack since it does not show any vBulletin source code. If the mods want me to post the hack here, I can. In the meantime, here is the link to the hack:

In the end, this hack will give your vBulletin users free (or paid) web based email accounts on your server while only using one POP box. I will be supporting this hack on the World Wide Creations website.

sorry, this is what we call advertising... read this:

your software is not free, neither is a modification of vBulletin... please follow the rules.

btw, software looks good!

Ok, I read through this thread at the top of the forum:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/announcem...ouncementid=18

It didn't say anything about it. I am not sure how I am supposed to post this integration which is what I thought this part of the forum was for?

Didn't mean to offend, just tell me how am I supposed to post this one?

the hack looks free to me.

The hack looks free to me, as well.. I believe he is stating that you could charge your members for messenger based accounts as part of a subscription based idea.. i see no harm with what he has posted.. as far as i can tell, that is..

the hack itself require that you BUY the software: The Messenger 6.0 is currently priced at $59.95. ... so it follows the rules of commercial requirements. there is no free version of that messenger, so it's not a free hack that way...

4) Addons for commercial hacks may be released here as long as:
a) A free beta or lite version of the commercial hack has been released here as per Rule (3) above.
b) The addon is fully functional
c) The addon is not time limited in any way
d) The addon is completely free
e) A link back to the full version is allowed, as long as no price or promotional language is embedded into the addon.

that's all... i'm not a moderator, but i think this is a requirement for posting hacks here... i suppose someone will comment from the head quarter..

a hack that plug a software is not the hack itself.. the software is...

dood, ur missing the boat here. This is NOT a commercial hack. Thats what those rules state. A commercial hack is a hack that you must pay for and peoplr can make addons for commercial hacks as long as the addons are free.

This hack for a commercial product is free. There is no reason this should not be posted here.

yeah, ok then... anyway.. i think the rules are not strict enough... i would prefer a specific section where to find the commercial stuff... this hack may be free, but we can't use it if we're not paying for the software.. like some others btw... (photopost thingies, digichat, etc)

Yes, that is correct but you could also say that about every single hack listed on vB.org. Who here has not paid for vBulletin? I think the intentions of vb.org rules is to restrict the resale of the hack itself and not what it may or may not be trying to integrate with. I've purchased several commercial scripts (including vBulletin) based on my needs at the time and what I wanted to do with them. Any free modifications available from any of their respective communities is a very helpful bonus and not the reason for the purchase in the first place. By ruling out hacks to integrate popular (but commercial) scripts like PhotoPost, SigmaChat, or even World Wide Messenger only serves to limit what we can do with our VB database. just my opinion of course...
