I too use this portal. I like it for it's simplicity. I suspect it can be converted for use in less then 30 minutes. If the author or yourslef pick it back up, great though. I'm planning on using it either way.

[Chris M]

Yeh converting it shouldn't take long

I would just rather wait and see if NTLDR is going to come back and take over, or if he is going to let me take it over

vbindex is the best addon for vbulletin. I do hope it is continued.

Please make a update - I won't update to 3.5 without Vbindex

[ZGeek]

Any word?

[harry1951]

Where can I find this addon?

[Joe Gronlund]

Chris can you port it over?

I really dont think NTLDR is coming back, its been a long time since this thread was started, and we are all very anxious to get vbindex going on our sites, as vbulletin 3.5.0 is nearing GOLD status..

How is it going? RC3 has been released and stable is coming closer every day. We are alot of people that need vBindex.

vBindex 3.5 is in production by NTLDR - I can't reveal alot more other than it will be alot better than 3.0

Shouldn't be long for a release, probably mid-October is a fair estimate

Sounds great! I hade evil thought about uninstalling vBindex and installing vbadvanced since i paniced and need a frontend.

ping.

I won't upgrade vbulletin without this, so I'm anxiously awaiting release. Thread subscribed.

Even the occasional update with "getting closer now" or "grease the skids, she's coming in" or something to keep me (us) teased would be cool.

Further, I'd happily help beta test. Let me know if such assistance is required/desired.

Dont take me wrong now, and i dont want to make any bad PR for vBindex. I have been running vBindex for 2 years now i think since vB 2 probably and i like it very much!

When 3.5 was released i was in big need for a 3.5 release and since there was no vBindex out i took a decission to change to vBadvanced.

Here is what i did and how it went:

First backup everything "as is", both DB and HTML-directory so if anything goes wrong you can revert in less then 5min. Save your styles and lang as XML just in case. Then i saved all modified styles i used in vBindex as txt-files just in case. Take a printscreen of how your vBindex looks at the moment.

Uninstalled vB (uninstaller isnt perfect by the way, there is a % missing in a "SELECT ... LIKE LCASE('vbindex%')" that wont remove styles if not % is in place, but after that it went smooth.

Uppgraded to vBulletin 3.5, then installed vBadvanced CMPS 2.0.0.
fixed all styles, etc, took in total 7h from start to finish to get it like i wanted it.

Must say that vBadvanced is far more advanced then vBindex when it comes to handling "boxes", all boxes can be left, right, center, adding boxes is even smoother then vBindex, but the thing i loved most was that it replaces "forum"-links automaticly in header, footer, and navbar to point right when you are at the front page so you dont need to have a header/footer/navbar for both forum and vBindex and dont have to edit javascripts, pm_popup, etc to work from both portal and forum.
The less styles i have to "merge/update" manually at a forum-upgrade the better for me, so i must say that this is a big plus.

Well thats my thought.

I have been playing with vBaCMPS and vB_Drupal. NTLDR is just too long gone for my sites to rely on.

We have taken vBadvanced's attention to those little details to heart during our 3.5 planning stage and I can assure you that the annoying interface for column control has been replaced with a more advanced and somewhat rival system to that of vBa's, and headers/footers/navbars and other duplicate templates have been removed (or so I can see from the template structure) to use vB's default templates
