I had a little trouble getting my 3.8 backup to update to 4.1.11 (I dread the day I need to do it for real), anyway it's done now and I manged to update gars without to many problems so I'll post the edited file in the thread at the gars forum for you to try.

Any news on any of the applications?
Deadlines are passing without any update

I really need a mod that does reviews in a good way but I am reluctant to buy something that is not supported in an orderly way

Forumsmods is adding more functions to beta-3 before releasing.

[Webrunner]

I hope it doesn't get to bloated and i hope he will optimized for speed.
That for me is more important than even more functionality.

And I say it again, it was so promising when the Advanced Content System was released, purchased a license on January 9 and after 4 month it's still in beta and I can't use it on my site because of some bugs and no real instructions. And the promised gars importer? Seems to be ready but will be released with Beta3. And when will Beta 3 be released? In additional 3 months because there need to be included a lot of extra stuff the majority doesn't need?
Because of that extra stuff there may be more bugs and a final version far away I guess.
I'm very disappointed right now.
The priorities are just set wrong.
Why don't you make a basic full working and bug-free version like you have it on your demo site first?
Most people are only needing that basic stuff and if it's fully working people will buy it.
After you can release a pro version with all that additional extra stuff.
It's really that simple, concentrate to the basics, get more customers and make money with it than coming to a deadlock.

There is the issue that quite a lot of people are waiting for a solution and have been searching and waiting for a year since this thread started. While its very positive to see that several coders are working on something, I think its fair to say that a lot of people are not willing to wait much longer and want me to start hiring developers for this project.
So it would be good to see a release in the coming 2 weeks.

I added the following features to the list:

• A store like display option.
• Optional 'Buy now' button on forumdisplay for affiliate products.
• Navigation treeview menu widget to display categories.

[Webrunner]

for what it is worth: i am willing to pay for a mod like this.
Something like $100 is no problem for me.

Added another feature to the list:

• Excellent SEO / link structure in pages and navigation

Great to hear this! When do you think you will be ready for a production site and where is your link to your mod or download?
Sorry, if I'm daft, I don't know where your demo is ?

Is it here?

The opening post contains a list of requested features. I do not develop myself. This thread is intended to either make developers aware of the demand for a reviews CMS, or to collectively hire developers to create this for us.

In recent months we have been waiting for various developers to come through. Unfortunately this does not seem to result in the release of a working & advanced reviews CMS. Its getting time to either attract a reliable party to create this solution, or to hire a party to create it.

vb-commercial is indeed one of my sites.

Alfa1,

I just found this thread because I was looking for a review site. I have written to a few other companies out there that make reviews, but do not yet have a plug in for vB, but they do have plug ins for other forum platforms which would lead me to think they might do it for vB. If they would charge we could pool our money and get it done. If that does not work then let's just go hire some programers with the specs you have created, pay the money and get this done. Have you priced this with programmers yet?

Okay I have an Idea of a featured content widget with no slider or javascript. Very plain, and doesn't put extra load on to your home page load times.

How about we make a Featured Content Box type of thing like Wordpres. It will be a widget that will static images and text below with a read more link all pulled from the 3 -4 articles we want to feature. it has to be done in a way so that it doesn't load every time and cause server loads or delays.


something like this...

Finally got so tired of waiting for others to climb on board here, ireviews looked the best so I just bought it.

Thanks for the link and good luck to everyone!

Cheers!

Can you please post a thorough review of ireviews? Does it work with VBSEO? Thanks.
