VB with subforums and Vietnamese language pack

[fancom]

Hi there,

I'm currently looking to open my own forum in Vietnamese. Thus, I wonder if there is any Vietnamese language pack available with VBullentin?

And also, I want to have more than 6 levels of subforums, but the children forums don't appear in a same web page with the parents forum, is that possible?

For example, if my first category is x, then the 1st level forum in that category is x.1, the 2nd level forum (or the 1st level subforum) is x.1.2, the 3rd level forum (or the 2nd level subforum) is x.1.2.3 and so on... So I want my forum to appear like this: in the home page, there are only 1st level forums and no subforums (x.1 only). Users will have to click the 1st level forums to access other subforums. The second page will show only 2nd level forums (x.1.2 only) and no other children forum (no x.1.2.3...). The 3rd page will show only 3rd level forums (x.1.2.3 only) and no other children forum (no x.1.2.3.4) and so on...

I tried with the demos from both IPB and VB and I like VB better but I couldn't make it work as I'd like to. So now I'm debating...

Thanks!!!

I have found the Vietnamese version for vBullentin 3.6.x. Yet I have another question before purchasing: If I convert vBullentin 3.6.8 to the Vietnamese version with the Admin CP is still in English, is it possible for me to get sufficient support if needed from vBullentin (skins, mods...)?

Yes, licensed customers are eligible for support. However we do not provide official support for third-party add-ons and language packs.

Is there anyway I can use the demo of vBB blog? I'm preparing everything before purchasing.

[Steve Machol]

Sorry, at this time there is no demo of the Blog.

Hmmm, that might be a good idea for the future Steve, Offer the chance to run Vbulletin or it's official addon features for a 30 day period, if it's liked then they have the chance to buy it, or it gets disabled.. I think that would roll in many more customers.

It is on the Dev's list to add the Blog to the Admin Demo but there is no timing on this yet.

I bought it today! :)

How do I convert from phpBB2 to vBB?

Sorry, I take that back, I figured out what I should do now.
