vbulletin 3.5.0 Upgrade + New Layout

Space Goat · 04:20 PM

Hope you like the new look of things.

Besides upgrading to 3.5.1, I've also been working with some of vbulletin's new integration hooks to add custom code for 3dmm content. Specifically, there is now an up and running movies section. To post a movie, simply click on the "Post Movie" button on that page. Whenever you post a new movie, a thread for it gets started in the "3dmm Movies" forum automatically, so don't get confused by that.

When posting movies, I invite you to attach screenshots to your entry with the controls provided. Screenshots can be as large as 544x306 pixels, but if you choose something smaller, please make sure it still conforms to 3dmm's 16:9 image ratio. Thumbnails are automatically created from your screenshots on the server, and posted inline with your post.

The movie showcase, which is displayed on the front page of the site, also gets automatically updated everytime someone posts a movie.

Another new section is the Links. Like with the movies, users can post links to their website(s) for display on the page. If you are the owner of the link, you have the ability to edit its content whenever you need to. Also available on the edit link page, is a checkbox to "update" the link. When checked, the link 's last update field will get updated with the current date upon submittal of the form.

I'm currently still developing a rating system for both movies and links that will allow users to rate these individual items. I hope to have this done very soon.

Another integration hook I plan to use very soon is on the user profile page. Expect a listing of all your movies, reviews, and mods (according to the database) to be listed there automatically for you...as sort of a portfolio of your work!

And of course, there's all the missing sections that still need to get done. I'm working very hard on this and promise to have it done by the New Year.

Thanks for putting up with me, and let me hear your feedback! The site is still very much in development, and will definitely change more as the days roll on!

Awesome. I'll check out the new stuff and get back here, but it's good to have it up!

Incasinoout · 12-03-2005, 09:10 PM

Can you have it so that you can see for than 40 posts per page I'd perfer something like 100 if thats not to hard.

Digital Taco · 09:14 PM

You can set thread view stuff in UserCP... just like on the old board.

40 is the max you can set it at.

Klown · 12-03-2005, 09:14 PM

I'm sorry but this is ugly. The colors and the layout are just a confusing mess.

Also: letting people delete their posts? Ugh.

Brimz · 12-03-2005, 10:09 PM

Ahh, this is great.

Klown · 12-03-2005, 10:18 PM

See above your post.

Klown · 10:27 PM

Avatars don't seem to be updatable.
EDIT: Ok

Space Goat · 12-03-2005, 10:27 PM

It appears the delete was turned off for every forum but this one.

Brimz · 10:31 PM

The only major issue right now is the profile problem. Non-importantly, we have the sound tag and font tag messing up.

Space Goat · 12-03-2005, 10:35 PM

I'm trying to fix the damn COPPA restrictions right now...

Space Goat · 12-03-2005, 10:49 PM

I think the coppa restrictions are fixed now...

Mr Mong · 12-03-2005, 10:58 PM

thats better

James McCloud · 12-03-2005, 11:09 PM

Can we get rid of the "This user is online" and the "warn this user" icons, please?

At least the first one.

Digital Taco · 12-03-2005, 11:21 PM

<lessthan10chars>why?</lessthan10chars>

edit: i get a cool red dot with invisible on

Salter · 12-03-2005, 11:23 PM

Is it just me, or is it really slow on IE? I'm on Firefox now, and it zips right along.

Chris Killmore · 12-03-2005, 11:30 PM

I get decent speeds with both browsers. Overall the new site looks REALLY good, but the post layout makes the sigs seem too small. Maybe they need to be larger.

Breed · 12-03-2005, 11:34 PM

okay the 10 character limit thing is ridiculous. Why is that even there?

Travis Wells · 12-03-2005, 11:52 PM

To make Ching mad.

"yep"

Kim Turley · 12-04-2005, 12:01 AM

blah blah, all looks good

Breed · 12-04-2005, 12:04 AM

I agree. Everything is fantastic--except the 10 character limit

AND THE LACK OF SMILIES

Space Goat · 12-04-2005, 12:07 AM

blah, kept forgetting about smilies.

You can change your avatars now!

Will remove the 10 char limit next...

Tuna Hematoma · 12-04-2005, 05:47 AM

I LIKE IT! I like the quick reply dealy!

James McCloud · 12-04-2005, 12:04 AM

Threads need to be thinned in shape, seriously, this is really weird otherwise.
