What was used?

These guys are using vb 3.8.2.

what would they have used to make this profiles section?
And would it be relatively easy to do?

This is one of the species profiles pages

I could be wrong, but I don't think those profiles (in particular) are connected to their discussion community (or vBulletin) - it could have been custom coded, or they are using some sort of script.

 

I looked at the page source and its Dynamic Drive DHTML(dynamic html) & JavaScript code library, so I guess they used something from there.

Tis pretty frustrating wanting to do so many things but being held back by inability


Im off to join their forum

 

I remember seeing a commercial script that allowed you to add profiles of various things (although I believe it was connected to the member's accounts for their collections, not as a general informational resource). I'll see if I can find the link for you, but if I remember correctly the developer wanted $300 for it.

 

Is this a vBulletin-related script?

 

yes, it was an add-on... I believe it was developed for pet profiles, but could be repurposed. I just can't remember where I saw it.

 

I share your sentiment. Tough learning these things.

Good luck finding out more information. I am trying to do something similar on my site.

 

If I get anywhere, ill let ya know.






And Thanks Soliloquy

 

I still can't find the script I was thinking of, but maybe it was a variation of this?

Could you be talking about this? In a nutshell is very customizable to create profiles of about anything. It's not inexpensive but is hugely powerful.

I run it on my forum. Right now it's only being used as tool for displaying and searching wheels.

I'm also working on the data model for a grille badge collection display. It's very sparsely populated right now as I jsut started working on it and have only one user doing some testing.

I was involved in creating this product so if you have any questions I know every angle of up and down.

 

gnatster, that was probably the script I was thinking of. Doodles, would that provide the functionality you're looking for?

 

Their content is not powered by vBulletin. Those pages are separate. You could however use something like Wordpress with a custom template to replicate it.

 

Thats pretty cool, thanks

I think it would, thanks for all the help Soliloquy

Im going to look into that, thank you Wayne

 

doodles - If you have any questions about the product I'm using please feel free to ask. I understand the aquarium space as well being an ex-admin and now back to moderator at Aquatic Plant Central. I helped set up the original Plant Finder tool on that site.

 

ok Thanks gnatster. APC is an awesome planted tank site, am a member there.

See they used wordpress for the main site.

 

The wordpress front end was developed in house by the sites latest owner, Crowd Gather. You'll find that across the board all their sites have the same look and feel on the front end.

 

Looks nice
