Cheap Tickets Canada - Moves to Vb/A

[PixelFX]

Cheap Tickets Canada - New Site
http://www.cheapticketscanada.com/index.php

UPDATED:
we changed back to our .com, we have a number of forum side services we're working into the layout next.

This is a client site I've been slaving over for the last few months.

Core Built on vbulletin 3.0.7
CMPS: vbadvanced cmps 2.0

We have paid branding free on vbulletin/vbadvanced, before anyone says anything. I still have some work to do on it, but since we went live today, I thought I'd post to see what you guys think.

currently we're not using the forum side of the system, mostly just using vba for style/layout control etc.

:)

Comments welcome :)

thanks, any other comments?

It's cool to see a vbulletin site that doesn't even have forums :)

The color scheme is excellent, and the whole site looks very customized and planned out. Hard to tell it's vBa at all.

The navigation under your logo - did you replace the navbar? What did you do there?

The insurance page has some scroll issues in firefox. And after searching for a flight, the navigation loses its images and the text is a little hard to see on the background.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try and install firefox and see whats missing, I did drop the images briefly to make a totally new header yesterday to link it better with child styles..

for the nav bar, I have it disabled on vba cmp2.0 for my vba custom pages. I'm still building the forum/portal side of the site .. should be live in a few weeks :)

note to brian, not sure what I'm doing wrong but the new keywords/descriptions for pages isn't accually loading in cmps 2.0 rc2 yet .. I had to manually update the tags for seo..

PixelFX, you have me curious about the no-forums thing....

Are the forums coming later or was the a different reason for going with that approach? I have a site idea floating around in my head where I'd like to be able to use some toys like CMPS & vBa Gallery with it as the front-end but I don't think I'd take advantage of a forums with it so that's why I'm curious. How did you work out the licensing?

[ConqSoft]

You would still need a license for vBulletin...

You would still need a license for vBulletin...Not necessarily. PixelFX already has several vB licenses and since he's not displaying vB forum content, just using it's background for CMPS, it's possible that he may be able to piggyback on top of an existing license.

I may add forums later, but for now I just wanted to make use of the membership system and the style system in vbulletin. and use vba cmps 2.0 flexablity for front page control over layout :)

I have a number of personal owned licences for my own sites, and some localhost private testing sites for each of those licences which I had permission from jelsoft to make as long as I keep them private. (aka localhost testing sites) anyway

On behalf of my clients, I've help setup over 24+ own licences for clients on vbulletin. I can almost do the vba cmps 2.0 install with my eyes closed now, don't even have to use the readme anymore :P

Its a beautiful system when mixed together. Brian did a wonderful job with vba cmps 2.0.

Nice clean fresh look. Like the image menu, looks good!

I personally would have liked to have seen "vba cmps 2.0" come with it's own header and footer templates though. Like vBindex does! Rather than it grabbing the header and footer templates from the forum and making use of them instead.

[PixelFX]

I used vba cmps 2.0 header and footer .. I just linked everything together thats all :P or matched layouts :P
