vbadvanced portal alternatives

**dprundle** · 01-12-2007, 08:04 AM

I was wondering what are the alternatives to vbadvanced? I'm really kicking myself because I know there is one called "CCMS" or something of the sort that is new and extremely nice. I've considered vbonjour but didn't like it.

there are a few alternatives at vb.org
there are also some paid ones

I like useing wordpress as the cms

**dprundle** · 01-12-2007, 03:27 PM

The one I'm looking for is a paid one I believe. I can't find it though, google is letting me down.

there is vbportal but I strongly suggest not using it. It's complete crap IMO

I belive you are referring to the gameing ccms?
If so it can be found here CCMS :: Professional Gaming Scripts

Hey Brandon, speaking of alternatives... I read that you were testing VBlogetin? do you intend replacing Wordpress?
How do you like VBlogetin so far? I was considering it... but Im waiting till it gets out of Beta.
Thanks!

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-16-2007, 09:44 AM

yup, I'm testing it on locoforum.com
actually I don't have it installed right now, I did, but I reset that board.

To answer your question about me replacing WP on vbsetup.com with vBlogetin, No I wont.

I had thought about it, but it's not going to be setup like I had thought.

I think the WP I have on our main site is doing great, it's almost getting as many referrals as the forum is as far as keyword phrases. I don't think vBlogetin would give me what I want for this site.

It's a great script, just not what I thought.

vBlogetin is using vbadvanced with the branding removing on their main site. Sorta misleading

as I thought I could take vBlogetin and make the same look vBlogetin has. I think Adrian is working to get that look without vba, but as of now, it isn't setup like that.

hope my rambling makes sense

I see what you mean, the idea is great.. hopefully they'll be able to implement on this.
Im going to give WP a shot for the time being until their product meets my demands. I was also thinking about GARS..
too bad you cant test these scripts first on your own projects.
Thanks again.

I seen this ladies hack at vb.org that looks pretty sweet.
There is a thread at vbh also, let me find the link.

vbArticles - vBHackers.com - vBulletin Modifications, Hacks, and Help

She has a paid version to that is nice

I also know of another one that Code Monkey is working with a guy on that looks pretty sweet, it's more of a gamer cms I've been told.

My Custom CMS - vBulletin Modification Discussions
here is a demo
SportsRant.com - Sports Talk With An Attitude

I know CM is busy as all hell, but I know he's very interested in it. It needs some work to be able to release it and that is what CM still has to do with it.

maybe a month or two, it'll be up ?

anyways, thats my views.
have you seen Subdreamer CMS - Build your website today! ? it's a paid hack.

**eric** · 01-16-2007, 11:58 PM

I installed the articles script from Mary, the free edition in my new project. Haven't explored all yuet but it works like a charm, easy to setup.
But as front I am looking too for something for years now but never ever found it. Even asked CM once but seems to hard to do. Instead a front that we webmasters make propose a modular thing that each member can build so each can have it's own custom page with the modules he wants. Like Myfrontpage that integrates with forum

for ex you can take several module with parts of the forum you want to follow, a few modules where you could link to some external feeds... etc

make your own homepage...

if you ever cross that, let me know... I' pretty interested

**spagman** · 01-17-2007, 07:00 AM

wow looks like CM has his hands full...
it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with.
Also subdreamer looks really nice, Im going to look around to see if I can find any VB integrated sites.

I saw that ladies hack you were talking about, did u ever find out $$$ and is it worth it?

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-17-2007, 01:15 PM

eric said he tried it, and it's pretty nice .

I agree that a modular system would be better, and it seems last year I was reading at vb.og that there was a cms coming out like this.

here are 2 sites with vbulletin and subdreamer.

UPSC, IAS, Indian Civil Service (Preliminary, Mains, Interview) Exam support from Serving Indian Officers. - home
RTI India - Complete Right to Information Portal of India - home

The problem I have with these cms scripts is that if your not good in coding you cant really do much to organize it the way you want. Ive seen some amazing pages that are using vbadvanced but I wouldnt know where to start lol. They need to make something easy for individuals to use who are not good in coding..

**sagar** · 02-08-2007, 01:39 AM

I am surprised no one mentioned SubDreamer

**Brandon Sheley** · 02-09-2007, 05:51 PM

subdreamer isn't really talked about much in the vb communities. I think it's a great script, just doesn't seem like its promoted much at vb.org or other sites.
