vBulletin 5 Connect Live Demo

vBulletin 5 Connect​

I thought I would just make this its own thread versus updating it in the other vBulletin release threads.

If you haven't seen it, I'll have a vBulletin 5 Connect demo for anyone that wants to poke around and see what we can do. This demo will be updated with each build that comes out as soon as I have time to upload the files. I'm on the beta team so I have access to the non-public beta builds and have gotten permission from @LawrenceCole personally that I can run these on a live site.

I have vbulletin 5 beta 11 on right now, I started uploading the beta 13 files at lunch and will finish the install sometime this afternoon or after work today.

I setup http://vB5Connect.com as the main URL and have redirected a few domains to it.

There are a few modifications out already for vBulletin 5 Connect, and I will be testing them out as well.

I'm willing to give users temporary access to the admin or mod areas as well, there would be some restrictions in the user and usergroup areas though. No one would be able to grab your passwords or any sensitive information like that.

Enjoy!

updated to beta 13
I know some people had signed up already but weren't able to login.
This should be resolved noow (hopefully)

 

Nice. I see what Lawrence Cole contacted you for!

I've never seen a corporation do this. It's usually always: Go to the owner, and sue them for "infringement" of trademark.

 

Well..lol
He did contact me about vbulletinconnect.com and asked me to take that site down, suggested that “vb” anything wouldn’t be a problem. That’s why I now have it on vb5connect.com to avoid any copyright issues. This is a new license, I also have a beta license that I assume will die at some point when vbulletin 5 connect is released as gold.
Lawrence seems like a real busy guy, but I’ve been able to get my questions answered when I’ve had them by him or the vBulletin staff, so I’m a happy camper.

Also.. Here is my short attempt at the site builder, I was able to make this demo page in a matter of seconds.

I want to play with the sitebuilder and style generator next.

 

sure thing man, have you signed up yet

 

I don't know how to make heads or tails from this.

 

It shows as confirmed, so I'm not sure
I'll set you up shortly

What about it?

 

Where is the forum? Nothing is defined sections.

 

ya.. it's funky, that's for sure

there are 3 forums, or channels

news
request
and test

 

I was going to say similar. The navigation sucks...

 

Here ya go

http://vb5connect.com/forum

a little better

this is a default install.. I haven't tried to remove or change anything other then added the 3 forums
I've never been a fan of the activity stream, I think it really doesn't help the site at all..lol

 

Navigation still sucks. No forum listing.

I have never been a fan of the activity stream, either, @Brandon.

 

I've updated the demo to beta 14 now

if anyone signs up, please like or quote my post, I haven't messed with the notification system very much.

thanks

 

The quote isn't showing on my phone, just the text version.
I'll have to take a look at the admin, f5 doesn't help?

 

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.

I just got this message @Brandon

 

Ya I've been getting the emails.
I'll fix it after some coffee.

*this is back up and running*

 

I've had to close the demo down until beta 14 or higher is released to the public.
Even though I had "thought" I had gotten permission from @LawrenceCole, I found out today this wasn't the case.
So I've reverted this back to the blog and will update things ASAP to the forum again.

Sorry everyone
