Before purchase, can i ask some points ?

[seamus]

Hi,

If you don't mind, i would like to ask something before purchase.

I was using a similar system to vBadvanced Dynamics. (GARS) But i believe that, Dynamics is much functional and useful.

So i would like to purchase Dynamics for my forum.

I would like to use Dynamics for my movie reviews section. And each movie has an imdb id.

For example :
The Expendables (2010)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320253/

And instead of using word "expendables" to search for this movie, we enter the imdb id of the movie to list all threads about the movie. So a search as "tt1320253" will give you much better search results.

So if i do a search on forum homepage or any other page, will Dynamics page be listed in search results too ? Or it lists the results in its own search page ?

Does all new created custom fields have its own unique id's ? And can i use these variables in showthread or threadbit pages ?

For example :
Lets say that i've created a singe line text input custom field. Can i use it in threadbit or showthread page like : $thread[custom_field_ID] so it will show the result wherever i use that variable ?

Can i create different pages/templates for different categories ?
For example i may want to use different layout for each category. And if there is a template system, then i can write the template name of each category...

For example :
REVIEW TEMPLATE SET
Showthread page : vBadvanced_dynamics_review_showthread
Threadbit page : vBadvanced_dynamics_review_threadbit

*Each templates mentioned above will be created by me....

But if you know GARS, then you will understand better about what i mean...

Regards
Seamus

vBa Dynamics has it's own search page and the results are separate.

Yes, all custom fields have a unique ID, and you can use those variables within templates to customize the display. Note that Dynamics has it's own templates though and does not use 'SHOWTHREAD' or 'threadbits'.

Can i create different pages/templates for different categories ?

Each category has a setting so you can choose a different style for just that category, so it is possible to customize the templates on a per-category basis.
