ChrisTERiS Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Do you think that a Forum module can offers only basic forum features. Think again. whmcsBB, my flagship module, moves the water. Has (or should have in upcoming updates), most of the features that big names like vBulletin, xenForo, IPB have. From now on you don't need a forum bridge. whmcsBB is your best choice to start a community in your WHMCS website. Most important features: Forums Which Usergroup(s) can post Which Usergroup(s) can read (Private Forums) Use of Prefixes with option to set prefix mandatory. Also you can set which usegroup can use each one. As a simple example in a bug report a Member can select "Reported" but not "Confirmed" a choice that a Moderator can use. Forum Image Mark Forum as Bug Tracker (AddOn - Read below) Mark Forum as Q&A(AddOn - Read below) [*]Threads Thread Rating Post Likes [*]Usergoups Permissions (Unlimited Usergroups) Can View Can Post Can Edit Edit time limit Can Reply Can Quote Can Delete Delete time limit Can Rate Can have Signature [*]Others Report Posts Report Users Block Users Ban Users (Currently permanently) Advanced Search (see screenshot) Quick Links (see screenshot) Move Threads from Forum to Forum Unlimited depth of Forums Online Users Nice modal User profile Social Share Subscribe to Forum Subscribe to Thread Follow User [*]Small but very useful features are: Trusted Members: I've split the standard "Members" usegroup that exists in all forums in 2 groups: Members Trusted Members This will helps you to give more permissions to you old members. [*]In General Settings there are 2 options which are working in conjuction each other and determine when a Member can be trust: After xxx days of his registration date After xxx posts [*]Some Anti-spam features: as an additional anti-spam control, I'm putting in moderation (bypassing usergroup permissions) posts that: The elapsed time between entering the form and submitting the form is very short The elapsed time between 2 posts is very short. But in this case only the new post is going under moderation. whmcsBB AddOns Extend the power of whmcsBB with follow addons: Private Messages: xenForo like multiuser messaging Community Newsletter: Inform users with an automatic (Daily or Weekly or Monthly) newsletter with latest threads, important threads or threads that you want to promote. Memberlist Bug Tracker: Mark forums as Bug Reports and all Threads in that forum will have a special interface to simulate a fully bug tracking system. Questions/Answers: Mark forums as Questions and all Threads in that forum will have a special interface to simulate a fully Yahoo style Questions system. .... and many more. My 11 years experiance in coding major vBulletin addons and my library of 50+ addons makes easy to add the most popular of them to whmcsBB. License Lifetime Owned License Lifetime Access to Downloads 6 months Support 1 Domain Installation Brand Free (No Copyright Links) 100% Visible Source Code As always suggestions are welcome !

wulfric Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 When are you gonna post a demo? Screenshots just don't do justice. I'm prepared to spend money but I need to test out things like permalinks, how friendly it plays with Adblocks, what the backend is like, how good the search results are, etc..etc.. Looking forward to more updates! Great progress!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTERiS Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Demo should be my live forum at: https://www.ewhmcs.com All than Adblocks work fine. For Adblocks can't say anything as don't know what you mean. I'm using my sidebar with forum related blocks. Thank you for your supporting words for whmcsbb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTERiS Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 How is the forum coming along Chris? It's 00:45am right now here and I'm still working. Last week it was impossible to work more than 2-3 hours a day. We had 44oC. Never remember so high tempratures here. I'm trying to finish it till Tuesday as from Wednesday will start again same hell. But I'm by the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTERiS Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) And here are 2 screenshots (Desktop & Mobile) from Forumdisplay (Threadlist). As you can see there is a plethora of information similar to big forums. For Moderators there is also option to Open/Close, Hide/Unhide, Stick/Unstick and Delete the thread. And giving attention even to siplier detail, all those Views, Replies etc are on singular when is a single value. eg 1 Reply, 1 Like etc Edited July 10, 2017 by ChrisTERiS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Looking good Chris, dont burn yourself out though... We are happy to wait... 44oC needs beer not work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTERiS Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 A screenshot from thread page with no comments from my side. Those who knows about forums will understand how featured this mod should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTERiS Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Today I was in good mood so I decided to add some small (but nice) extra features. Among other User Menu Options should be one more "Notifications" (with Ajax updated badge). In the notifications page the user will be able to see a list of: New Threads in Forums that he follows New Replies in Threads that he follows Quotes on any of his posts When someone clicks "Follow" on any of his threads When someone Likes any of his post When someone follows him Normally in my PHP scripts in addition to this I've a popup notification but don't really think that is a need for now. Maybe in a later update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulfric Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 ...this dude, making forums from scratch!! checkin' this out right now... Are you able to share with me a trial or something so I can launch up and test it out? Looks cool so far! Do you have an upcoming roadmap of things you plan to integrate? How many more development hours do you think are required to get it 100% perfect>? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTERiS Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 ...this dude, making forums from scratch!! checkin' this out right now... Are you able to share with me a trial or something so I can launch up and test it out? Looks cool so far! Do you have an upcoming roadmap of things you plan to integrate? How many more development hours do you think are required to get it 100% perfect>? Depending on what do you mean by saying "100% perfect". eg List the features of the perfect Forum. But I want to be clear and honest with you (and with anybody here): 1.- If you maybe understood seeing my sites, all mods that I've developed are in use in my site. This means that I coded them mainly for my own use, so it was not a big risk even in case that I'll have zero sales. 2.- From now on everything depends on the amount of sales. Hope that you'll understand that to spend eg another 10 days to add a convertation system (multiuser PMs like xenforo) and/or a Newsletter for forum activity, while should be 3-4 sales only, is out of any logic.

lance Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 We have it installed (not live yet) and all looks good, have spoken to Chris since early on in the project and he has not failed to deliver. This is a long awaited add on that should hopefully do well... we tried many bridges into other forums etc in the past and they simply didn`t work well... This being integrated with whmcs is a big thumbs up from us. We also have to social blog addon too, that works spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 OK we have this installed now, there was one error we saw and reported, this was fixed within a few hours of submission. Works well, does what we need it too... Needs a few more to use it now so Chris can get more feedback though from first release its worked better than any other whmcs integrated ones and any third party party forums that use a bridge script to whmcs. Chris has put alot of work into this, and is genuine with his support, I do think this will be a winner for anyone that uses it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
