Spainish

lapta06 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:07:40 GMT

I installed a spainish language pack ages ago, and uninstalled it about 2 weeks later, the problem is i am still finding bits of spainish across the forums such as.

The reply to a PM button is in spainish, 50% of the announcement section is in spainish and some other random sections throughout the forums.

Any one got any ideas how to reset this back to english.

Thanks

What is this icon?

amitts — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:06:11 GMT

On the list of threads screen, just before the 'replies' column, there can be 1 or 2 icons. One of those icons (looks like a paper clip) lets you know that the thread has 1 or more attachments, and clicking on it pops up a screen showing a list of the attachments.
The other icon (the properties calls it tag.png) is what I am wondering about. You can't click on it (you can, but it does nothing :)). When you hover over it, it appears to display a small list of tags.
Just wondering why it's there and how it might be used.

Thanks for any insight...

SEO Permalink options?

HUNTER|UF — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:53:17 GMT

Anyone know anything about the permalink options?

I see currently is just a nice readable query on the end of the php file e.g member.php?member=35343-HUNTER-UF, but what if I want a user profiles to be e.g. forum/HUNTER-UF can it be done? Same with forum names and then posts under them e.g. forum/forum-name/thread-name?

Wikki Integration

BenWells — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:16:21 GMT

I have wikki using Media Wikki script as part of my current site. I tied it into my PHPBB so that it's only members of my forum that are able to post on the wikki. As soon as VB4 is out I'm going to be switching everything over, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to integrate it, but it would be amazing if a wikki could become part of the suite down the the road...maybe with 5 ;)

Voting / Rating of each reply?

ajaybp — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:09:00 GMT

I noticed the "Rate Thread" feature in vBulletin.

Is there some way to have a "I like" / "I dislike" (a sort of voting feature), for each reply in the thread??

Best path to upgrade from 3.8.x to 4.0?

indigosociety — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:36:01 GMT

I have vBulletin 3.8 installed and I'm looking forward to upgrading to 4.0

I'm thinking about setting up a "test" instance of vBulletin 4.0 on a separate server with the same database as the "main" server and then trying to get things working from there.

Is this a good path to take? Can anyone provide some tips on how I would replicate the server and then "switch" them?

What about vBseo? Can anyone help me remove that? I'd like to go back to the original vBulletin rewrite system (so I don't have to worry about addons in the future. I rather have a slim software package)

Thanks.

vBulletin 4.x Series Requested Feature List

GHOwner — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:10:30 GMT

General (Forums)

The tableless CSS revision of the templates was what I see really nice about vb4, and would like to experience more of what the functionality gives... If the UI helped show that. Certain things like the reply quote drop down editor and forumhome/forumdisplay threadbit retouches are nice, but the rest of the interface seems so loose and not planned out. Anyways...

AJAX Calendar Tabs
The tabs for changing views on the calendar is a nice idea, but should be AJAX powered. Also, the yearly view should have the months grid up based on width of browser window, not a 3 column only.
User CP Needs Revision
It was a bit of a complaint back in vB3 days, but with the last of the vB3.x series and now vB4, it's still an issue. The problem being users can't find what they need as easy and they'd like, do to a long list of options just being there. I've tried my own attempts at fixing this, and although not perfect, it builds on what vB2 did with a vB3 twist. I put the links in dropdowns and added back in the buddy list. When someone visits a sections, like Edit Your Details, it'll change the "Quick Start" to be As well, it's funny I get people who didn't know the Private Messaging and what not info blocks existed on the User CP home. I didn't know either til I looked in the coding, and now keep them displayed so people will know too.
UI Overhaul-ish
I had to say that after trying to attachment more images. The Asset manager is nice, but maybe could be worked to be a little more self explained for the average user. Though, being I'm not an average user, I knew how to work it, except for an attachment not loading there, and then no delete option working. Not to mention the attachment manager in the User CP is too wasteful, it could load the attachment inline and not massive whitespacing from a traditional row style... The advance search area is also too spacious and less logical, as vB3.x series at least was more wholesome and not busy.

Haven't upgraded my license and don't plan to if that's all vB is destined to be. I know the functionatily is good, and this is a beta, but there doesn't seem to be much order or thought in the UI. I remember the announcements of makign the templates for vb4 before the release of the Alpha, and yet there's still many issues with the UI. Remember, a successful UI is one that can be expected and understood at first glance. Lots of whitespace, no whitespace, lack of content separation, and otherwise a learning curve, is a bad UI. Even though I'm not happy with InvisionPower's interfaces, their interface beats vb4's. vb3's interface was much better... Only thing that's great about vb4's interface is that it's tableless CSS, but that's it.

Albums/Gallery

The current albums feature has great potential to make a light gallery feature much more useful than any other software on market. Only a few bits of functionality keep it from being a gallery solution without too much bulk.

Global Categories
Optional or required, this would be an option for each album image to choose from a list of predefined categories. If the user decides to select a category for the upload, then the upload then becomes listed; otherwise it can stay more of a 'private' nature like they are now. This would help on exposure of the imagery if the author so wants there to be. More advanced category control such as multiple categories for one piece (similar as searching for different categories for each aspect of the piece, like for a art-based gallery, one category being painting, the other being abstract, and then a third being digital or traditional.)
Image Tagging
A way to add extra keywords to a image that categories wouldn't be able to cover. Thus, creating a tag cloud with the categories feature on a gallery index page.
Favorites
A method for members to privately or publicly bookmark other's album pictures they like. This would benefit the authors of such album work to gain more exposure and help members easily keep track of images they like. An option of having an upload be private or public would help protect those who wish to not have their works be able to be favorites or listed. Another idea is to list how many tiems someone was favorited and let the author have exclusive stats of such as well.
Revised Album (Gallery) Page
The current global album indexing page should be revised with things such as statistics, category listing, tag cloud, latest submissions, popular pick/most favored (of the day/week/month/year/etc), featured albums, etc.
Revised Member Album Profiles
Make albums be placed in a tab, giving a list of the member's albums as well as a [random/newest/popular/etc] mix of images from all their albums. Favorite album images the user picks could be in place or added with the left album widget.

These enhancements would be purely for optional use. Those who'd rather not have gallery-enhanced albums could turn off all the options and have the simple 3.7/3.8 styled features.

Blogs

The latest update to the blogs is a very successful one, I'll admit. The additions, though not as innovative as the first portal version of the blog software, are very pleasing to the user when it comes to UI friendliness. However, there's some features I feel would help the blogs be more useful.

Featured Entries Revised
It's nice to have a sticky-like style for the "Featured" entries, but they also take up a lot of space. When going to categories, they still take up a lot of space and thus can confused a user if the category change actually worked or not (it did confuse me). A solution to this is to keep featured entries exclusive to the portal page or using something like the 2nd example on this page shows. Either way, the featured entries need to stand out, but not be in the way.
Multiple Blogs per User
Especially with the ability to add users to a blog, letting users create more than one blog would be beneficial, as Wordpress MU has shown. But as always, this could be turned on/off or otherwise limited via usergroups. This would make the blog feature more useful (same reason blogs in general are useful) and discourage the creation of multiple accounts for the sole purpose of those needs.
Blogs for Social Groups
The discussion feature, which in my opinion should work more like threads other than topic-based commenting, is good for getting the regular discussion from multiple members. A blog would help with more announcement and news based needs. After all, this would make groups more of an organization than just a title, while not forcing or driving them away from the forum component. The way this could be added is either automatically for each group leader upon creation of a group, or via linking a multi-created blog to a social group by the group leader.
AJAX searching
Similar as v3Arcade (3rd party vBulletin arcade modification) does its searching. That is, as you type, it provides a list of entries. This would be for quick and simple searches, but not for the advanced searches.

Social Groups

The new style makes it more confusing to understand groups, since a separation of content elements isn't really there. We are in the age of using more whitespace without borders, but that only works if done correctly. In this case, it isn't. Onto the features...

Revise UI for groups
The current group UI is bad. It has a potential of working, but elements and controls take effort to find and use, instead of being a one time finding. Afterall, a successful UI is one with little to no learning curve. The more it conveniences, the better. Check my attachment for what I currently use/have, it works on giving controls and information without much to any searching.
Attachment 37636
Polls, Recent Visitors, Etc...?
Possibly the addition of more widget data, but then again, the groups are pretty much feature-complete as is. Just improving the UI is needed.

I will never buy from Vbulletin Again

SLP LS1 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:57:35 GMT

I just sold a site for $700 on flippa http://flippa.com/auctions/77290

Now if I want to transfer the license it costs me $190? When a renewal used to be like $60 a month ago?

If that's the case, I will never buy a license from you guys again, I just want to transfer the license to another person.

Last month I sold my site http://www.namc.us, I then upgraded the license on October 5th, 2009 for $60 to transfer to the new owner. That's only a month ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vbulletin team gave no warning on how much renewals will cost. This is rediculous!!!!!

OMG It's here... You can download it now - first thoughts?

sportsfi — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:33:25 GMT

So with IB/vBulletin Solutions aiming to release their BETA by the end of the week (as quoted from Ray many times on this forum already) I thought I would jump in first and start the OMG It's Here thread for us to all share our first thoughts etc on the system.

Just for clarity sakes - it is not here {yet} and is not available to download {yet} - this is just being prepared for when it does come.

So who is jealous I got in first with this thread?!? and what are your first thoughts on the BETA (when it is released)

Transferring from Proboards?

Astralcritter — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:01:56 GMT

I know this has been asked a lot but I haven't seen it asked lately so maybe something new came out....

I am a admin at a proboard forum that has about 1100 members and years of posts is there ANY way to import all of that into Vbulletin? We desperately want to leave and wouldn't mind paying to leave but I can't find any option.

People talk about bots that can do it but I can't find one, how hard is it to make a bot? one other option im interested in is if a few of the admins could slowly take down the info and then have it transfer to Vbulletin, could we manually transfer it slowly that way? Including member accounts?

Thanks in advance for any info you can give.

- Reset all members post count to 0

Elyk — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:11:11 GMT

Okay, this might be a strange request but I have to ask!

Is there anyway to reset all members of a forum's post count back to 0?

I am helping someone who just took over a forum and he wants to have everyone start out with a 0 post count. Main reason he wants this is that he will have a couple of big contests where members can enter when they reach certain post counts, and having everyone back at 0 would help him to hold these contests. Is this possible?

Enable visitor messages and WYSIWYG editor for everyone

blh654 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:21:29 GMT

How can I enable:
-visitor messages
-WYSIWYG editor
For all my users? We just converted from vBulletin, and those two options are currently set to 'off' and 'Simple Text Box', respectively. Is there a way I can do this from phpMyAdmin/the admin control panel?

Also, I sent the 'autosubscribe' table to '-1' - this turns this off, right? (It was at '0' before for everyone)

I just got involved as admin on a forum.

Do I need to edit the templates for all of these styles or can I do this in 1 single place.

Thanks.
