I released a basic block for pages here: http://community.mybb.com/thread-77075.html

After a quick check in the php files this shows.

As i understand it anyone can alter it and maintain it as long as the original author is credited and the work must remain free for anyone.
If someone does maintain the work the same or a similar license must be used.

Yes, I already checked all that. But as it IS compaptible with 1.6.X then you need to develop it into a mybb2.0 system. Other wise its a bit pointless.

whats happened to the pro portal site?

DragonFever didn't renew the domain.

I started working on a complete rewrite a few days ago and it's coming along nicely. I'll most likely release it when I'm done.

Well, if you do, it would be nice if you added some variables we can call from inside the portal blocks - all the queries to the DB are hardcoded - eg latest members, top poster, any variables for additional blocks - a bit like the plugins library does.

Awesome news! Thanks for taking on the project!

Yeah, the original ProPortal blocks are a mess. I actually just finished writing block handling (I've mainly been working on the administrative interface). Blocks are essentially plugins; that is, the format for the block is the same as if you were writing a MyBB plugin. The information function returns relevant information for display in the ACP interface and the run function has complete access to the MyBB core. In addition, blocks can have their own settings.

We'll see how this design works, but it seems to work rather brilliantly.
