Profile Setup Help Needed

[jahwise2002]

Greetings,

Can someone help me figure out a solution to this?

please read below:

Do you know which is better the ubb.x boards from www.infopop.com or this one? What is the main differences? I would like to use http://www.vbulletin.com/ becuase it is cheaper, but i really want to get the profile style of the ubb.x message board system.. I would like their style of the profile page, but also i would need a modification to be able to post MP3's to the profiles...

Do you follow me? If you visit this link: http://www.infopop.com/products/ubbx/screenshots.html

and look at the "my Profile" screenshot. You will see how i want it look. But this ubb.x board does have the ability to post mp3 to the profile...but vbulletin doesnt even have profiles right? is it possible to have someone design both the profile and mp3 posting ability to a vbulletin board?

Do you follow me? I am asking you if you can help me to "hack" the vbulletin to have a profile simimlar top ubb.x and also mp3 posting ability...Can you help me or can you refer me to someone who can?

Thanks in advance,

-taylor reaume

vBulletin already has a system very similar to the profile page on UBB.x. Click on the link for "user cp" at the top of any page on these forums. MP3s can be attached to posts in your forums - I don't really see how what you're talking about is any different.

Plus UBB.x costs $21 a month and you can't hack the files and download a backup, whereas vBulletin is a product you can install on your own server

at the very top there is a button called User CP.

As for MP3s, I don't know why you want to post them. You might run into legal issues such as the RIAA asking why you are distributing pirated music.

Further more, you jeopardized your vBulletin license and Jelsoft may terminate it.

If i where you id go with vB. of course im biased (hey your on a vBulletin site right ). Ive used ubb (ubb.classic as its called now) and dealt with infopop before. trust me when i say this, infopop isent very nice to their customers.

vBulletin will also run on your server, not infopops. So you have full control over every aspect of the software. check out www.vBulletin.org, you will see a database with 1,000's of hacks (add-ons) that you can install on your board. you cant do this with ubb.x because infopop hosts it and wont allow you to edit the source files.

As for the profile page, you can custimize the one that comes stock with vBulletin to look just like ubb.x's via the powerful template system.

also, you can check out the admin demo to see the admin side of vBulletin.

I believe I answered this question for you on Live Chat yesterday.

Yes it would be possible to upload MP3's to your board.

Check out vBulletin.org for all your vB hacking needs. If nothing exist to do it there is bound to be something that you can modify for the job.

That would require hacking the code. It's not in the standard vB.
