Information is being collected and sorted now by the "alpha" team. By the time VB5 goes gold I would expect information to be released either here or on vBulletin.org. -
This is rather disappointing. Given the fact that 3rd party addons are an integral part of vBulletin, I'd have expected information to be released coincidentally with the beta release.Comment

Well one reason is we don't want to release info that will change with future Beta or final release versions. I've already had to redesign some mods after finding out things no longer work like they used to work even through the VB5 alpha/beta versions. Hours of work basically rendered useless.Comment

Well the information is being tested and vetted by top addon developers so it is accurate when we do release it.Translations provided by Google.

There are obviously general things that would really help a lot and aren't going to drastically change in later version.
So why not release it? I'm not asking for full documentation about everything, but I'm sure many developers would appreciate you releasing at least some information.Comment

I understand the need to make sure documentation is accurate and all the vital bugs are projected. However, buyers like myself are not involved in public release but still need whatever development information we can get. I didn't buy connect to immediately build a community. I bought it to I can start my development with it; connect isn't just forum software and i believe it is a major development; a lot of work on our side needs to be accomplished and by the time gold comes we can be fully prepped with our own addons and development mods.
Is there a place where we can find more information about current documentation?

The best way to see how VB5 Mods work are to download the VB5 mods currently on vBulletin.org and see how they are written.
I can tell you this-
Product IDs now mean something. When you create a product make sure there is no underscore or special characters in the product id.
Then you must create a folder inside the /core/packages/ folder with your product id...
so if the product id is "mymodxxx"
You need to make a folder /core/packages/mymodxxx
Inside mymodxxx folder you want probably at least an /api/ and /xml/ subfolders.
in the /xml/ subfolder go all the xml files you used to put in /includes/xml/ in VB 3 & VB4, AS WELL AS the Product XML file you export from Product Manager when it is done (necessary to use the new auto-install feature)
in the /api/ folder you put files with the same name as files inside /core/vb/api/ folder that contain your own code... From this point I say start looking at the existing mods for how things are done.Comment

I used to play with vb back in vb3 days. Had a lot of fun and man things sure have changed with the the release of connect. I'm glad its out right now so I can try to catch up before it goes gold.Comment

However, there are still tons of stuff that are unclear.
For example, how do you extend other things, beside the API?Comment

All of these information will be in the documentation, Just wait until Wayne took the documentations from alpha team to the public forums.Comment

by helloadammI didn't realize vB5 has been officially released? I have seen no announcements of any kind on these forums but that's okay. For non-beta software, vB still needs a lot of work. Thanks Christine, VB Support...1 Photo

by s.molinariI think the location of the demo should be a bit more public here somehow, like a sticky thread in this forum or even a notice?
