I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with both Joomla and the new vBulletin CMS suite. I ask because I just tried the Joomla demo (with the mock-up site you can edit) and I was wondering if the vBulletin CMS editor is any better or different? I'm pretty new to all of this in general so maybe all CMS control panels are pretty much the same, but I found it a bit disorienting at first the way you have to edit things with Joomla.

If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

Hello, I am interested in purchasing the software. There will be some considerable development time before the website becomes publicly available and even then I am not entirely sure if we will end up using the software at all. So I was wondering if it was possible to just buy the regular license and consider the copyright removal at a later stage for the previously purchased license. Is this possible?

Or is it mandatory to buy the copyright removal option at the same time the license is purchased?

This is possible with alot of manual work, but with alot of members/subscribers it will be a full time job just to keep track of that.

The site we'll be setting up is for a Fan Club and will need to include the following...

Password Protected Login
User Management (Approve, Block, etc.)
Custom Page Creation
Customized Nav Capabilities
Blog Capabilities
Forum Capabilities - hopefully robust since this will be a key piece
Managed Image Galleries
User Profiles w/ Custom Fields
Video Posting Capabilities
Templated Design
User Avatar and Photo Uploads

These Additional Features would be nice to have:
User Chat/IM Capabilities
Some form of User Hierarchy where most active users are rewarded with a special title or something of that nature.
Reasonable Cost
Possibly incorporate shopping features in the future?
Any Additional Social Interaction

I started by researching WordPress/BBPress, Drupal, Joomla, Expression Engine, vBulltetin and TextPattern but narrowed it down to EE and vB so far because they seem the most robust and have many of the features we will be needing. However, since I have never used the complete versions of either solution, I was wondering if you could tell me if vB is the better solution in my case and why?

Hello

I have been searching high and low for quite some time now (wanted to try to figure this out before I posted the questions here), but I was unable to dig up any satisfying information on the matter

The thing is, I'm currently in the process of developing a website, where I already have a functional user database running, and I have always had the thought of using a complete forum software in the back of my head. The forum software I wish to use is vBulletin, but the problem that arise is that it seems really hard to effectively synchronize my database with vBulletin's database. I don't want to force my users to register on both the main site and the forum, but instead only on the site, same with login/logout processing. Is this possible to achieve with vBulletin without having to hack the heck out of it?

I don't think there should have been any problem to have the site evolve around vB's user authentication system, but I'm hesistant to purchase the software before I have the website running properly. Because I do not know how vBulletin handles it's users with functions and databases, it would naturally be hard to develop my site. The last thing I have planned is to somehow integrate the forum with the rest of site.

Taking this into consideration, what is/are the best approach(es) for developing my site? ]]> vBulletin Pre-sales Questions keung http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?340634-Existing-user-database http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?340624-Where-do-I-need-to-put-vB&goto=newpost Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:10:18 GMT I'm planning on buying 4.0, but I don't know where exactly to put it.
