vBadvanced CMPS Released!

[Brian]

After (what seems like) forever, vBadvanced CMPS (Content Management & Portal System) is finally available for download in the Programs / Scripts section of the site! This new product is very similar to vBadvanced Homepage in the front end, but the backend is what makes this script very powerful. Some of the differences and new features include:

• New module system which makes it very easy to add new custom templates or modules which will include php files.
• Ability to add new pages through the Admin CP.
• Ability to enable/disable modules, set different settings, and allow/deny access to each usergroup on a per-page basis.
• Ability to easily move modules around without editing any templates.
• Easily integratable with other vBulletin hacks and default vBulletin pages.
• Ability to set a different style for each page.
• New options for some of the modules.
• And Much more!

Upgrading from vBadvanced Homepage
Upgrading from vBa Homepage is very simple. During the install, the script will check to see if you have vBa Homepage installed. If so, then you will be given the option to import your settings. Once you are confident that you are finished using vBa Homepage, you may then upload the install file that came with that product and select the option to un-install it.

Documentation / User's Guide
Unfortunatly I have not had time to write up any kind of user's guide for the product yet, but I do plan on making one that will be available in the new "Members Area" here. Most everything should be pretty easy to understand and there are descriptions for most options that will help you to understand how everything works. If you have a problem please feel free to post in the appropriate forum here.

Screenshots / Demo
For now, there isn't much in the way of screenshots or a demo. I simply haven't had the time to set this up yet and I figured people would much rather have the product sooner rather than waiting for a demo. I have posted some screenshots in this thread and demo will be added soon.


Well that should be about it for now. I hope everyone enjoys the new product. I'm taking the rest of the night off to relax and watch the Braves games now.

I'll install it right now, dude, thank you so much for taking the time to do this, and I hope you had a good time at the wedding!

I realize this is beta, here's a bug when clicking on Read More:

[Brian]

Ahh crap, looks like a bug slipped through. I've just updated the zip file to fix this. Anyone that's already installed can download the files again, replace their modules/news.php with the new one, and replace their "read_more" phrase with this:

 <span class="smallfont">[<a href="{1}/showthread.php?{3}t={2}">Read More</a>]</span>

Thank you Brian. You are awesome.:up:

Tigga - You're the man !!! I've just upgraded my board from 2.x to 3.0.1 and I was a user of your myvbindex portal which was superb. I was just about to install vbadvanced and then noticed your new release for the CMPS .

Excellent job !!


P.S. Are you not going to release this on vB.org ?

[Zachery]

Not speaking for him, but im sure he will make time for it sooner or later

[bluesteel]

Great job Brian!! *installed*
Up and running fine so far. What an improvement!
Only minor problem is the width of the calendar. Usses up too much column width, so I've disabled it. If I increase the right column width to suit, I find my centre blocks aren't wide enough
Two very minor points as far as the installation instructions go....(unless I was that eager I missed these)
No mention of uploading changed index.php to admincp folder
No mention of saving 'Default Settings' initially.

Fantastic hack!

I actually ran into that problem initially as well.

Yes, I will be releasing it on vb.org, probably in a couple of days.

Bluesteel - Thanks for pointing out that I missed the index file in the instructions. I've added that and updated the zip. I also updated the install file so that it's not necessary to save your settings after install (it was only necessary before if you imported your vBa Homepage settings). As for the calendar problem, please see this thread - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=823

[PixelFX]

[AlexSFBay]

Does this CMPS output an RSS 2.0 XML feed for news readers?

If not, it would be a much appreciated feature that could help drive traffic back to our sites.

[Zachery]

No, but vBulletin it self does

[korio]

Yaay its finally out! Great work!

[Zedd]
