MyBB Community Forums

Hello all. I switched to MyBB from Vbulletin yesterday and am still trying to get my bearings. I am trying to determine if a few features/mods I relied on in Vbulletin exist for MyBB.

1. The ability to prevent anybody with fewer than x number of posts from putting a hyperlink in a post, signature, or private message.

2. Automatic conversion of any link posted to Amazon to a link that uses my Amazon associate ID.

3. The automatic conversion of a link to YouTube and other video sites to an embedded video when possible.

4. From my searching, I understand that no quiz script exists for mybb. Before I convert the work I did for Vbulletin, does anybody know if this is still true?

I may find more as I continue to play with my new forum. But for now, these are the important ones where I would need to start coding if the features do not already exist.

Also, if somebody could bring me up to speed on how y'all manage the mod release process. With Vbulletin, I would simply post the modification code in a thread and provide support within that thread. It seems organized a bit differently here, and I would like to have a sense of what to do before I start releasing any work I do.

Finally, I've released a bunch of mods for vbulletin over the years. If anybody sees anything of mine that they would like me to convert to mybbb, feel free to ask. It would be nice to get involved in this new community, and having things to do that people actually want is a good start.

Here is a list of the stuff I've done over the years.

Can be done, with groups and too plugins, i will find, when i am not sick. One is by Lex- and the other Babsjui (sorry if i spelled wrong...)
2. Automatic conversion of any link posted to Amazon to a link that uses my Amazon associate ID. Not done yet i don't think...

3. The automatic conversion of a link to YouTube and other video sites to an embedded video when possible.

4. From my searching, I understand that no quiz script exists for mybb. Before I convert the work I did for Vbulletin, does anybody know if this is still true? I wish they had one...

It seems organized a bit differently here, and I would like to have a sense of what to do before I start releasing any work I do.You post a thread in releases and it gets validated, and in the mod database and it has to be validated. Takes usually 2-5 days (team is busy lately.)

Could you mod that so that you are moved to a group because of your age or sex? I've been asking for months... I would love you if you did?

Tom, let me get my bearings with the code, and that will be the first mod I attack.

Thank you so much!! I have been waiting to get my site up, and i need a section for each gender. And i don't want anyone seeing both! Not even admin (i have a female mod in place) You are so awesome.

Welcome to MyBB.

I had it for MyBB 1.2.9, but too much code to update

function mbrf_info()
{
	return array(
		'name'			=> 'Age/Gender Restrictions Per Forum',
		'description'	=> 'Make Bday/Gender Required Field During Registration + Minimum Age Restrictions',
		'website'		=> 'http://www.thingiej.be/',
		'author'		=> 'LeX-',
		'authorsite'	=> 'http://www.thingiej.be/',
		'version'		=> '1.0',
	);
}

I think you told me that before

Wait is that the correct code or what is that? me confused...

That's the info of the MyBB 1.2.9 version =P

Thought so. I was thinking for a minute it was so simple and that was sarcasm :p Thanks though. I've wanted to play with 1.2.9 anyways
