"standalone" or only with vBAdvanced

[AndreasP]

Hi,

I've just found your site and I'm overwhelmed. It seems to cove all those addons I've been looking for ever since.

The first question is: Is vBadvanced necessary for your hacks or can I use them with a 'normal' forum too, as I don't use vBadvanced and don't like to buy it at all?

2nd: I run some article forums for travelogues and trekkingstories and use GARS for it (have a look at my signature). While GARS is a great products it's not perfectly fitting my needs. Which of your hacks would fit for this? Can I specify / activate it per forum or is it kind of a parallel product? Last wouldn't fit.

3rd: Slideshow: same question: se per forum or general? Is it possible to put all attached pics of a travelogue (eg) in a slideshow as a special plus?

4th: What would you recommend to use for my needs? In other words: how can I merge you products in a useful way?

5th: language packs? multilingual?

Regards,
Andreas

Thank you.

1- vBadvanced is not required but is highly recommended (and is free).
All our products are standalone. But with vbadvanced you can mix and match them using the provided modules.

2-vBmagazine is tightly integrated with vBulletin, yet you will not know that this is vbulletin. For example look at the archives page, which is forumdisplay. You select one forum (one forum = one magazine) or as many as you wish, and then you create issues. The threads/articles in that forum will not appear until the issue that they belong to is published. The magazine can also be set as your homepage if you want to. And every issue can have it's own look and you could select what to display or to skip.

3- vBattach has an option where you can group all your jpg (you upload them like you normally do: manage attachments) together and display in articles as a slideshow (http://www.vbcover.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108). But vBslideshow itself draws from preset forums, and use only one image per thread. You can set unlimited images to display, for example 20 threads = 20 images. 10 forums = 10 categories total images in slideshow = 200

4- the best deal is vbmagazine bundle. You get them all except vBslideshow (you get the articles slideshow). But if you are not going to use vbadavanced , the slideshow page might look lonely by itself http://www.vbcover.com/forums/vbslideshow.php
with vbadvanced: www.haitiwebs.com (http://www.haitiwebs.com)

5- Fully phrased with maybe 200 to 250 phrases.

some example:

example of issue (http://www.vbcover.com/forums/magazine.php?magazineid=30)
example of archives (http://www.vbcover.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=27) (forum display) admin has extra links, like normal forumdisplay view or view only articles that are not published.
article page is fun. You can have the option to display like Gars with issue image and issue details on top in a table. With the full version you can paginate the articles and most important you can place your uploaded jpg ANYWHERE you want, any position you want, in context next to the paragraph, in the page you want, with a small caption under it.

All the demos are here (http://www.vbcover.com/forums/demos.php)

Hope that answers your questions.

P.S. you can also send a newsletter of every issue. It will look exactly like the issue and recipient will not have to "click to view images". You can test that by clicking on the left link found in every issue (if you choose to do so). Go ahead and click, and you will get a sample.

That's really amazing. I'm sure I will get your products.
As you recommend it I will have a closer look at vB advanced first.

I'm conviced that I will have many more questions and hope you can help in those issues then.
