Hello, I plan to buy vBulletin, but first I need to know how much a hack I need may cost. I already asked this at vBulletin pre-sales forum, and they say it's possible but had no idea regarding cost. I need to be able to add multiple fields in "post reply". Let's suppose it's a movie review forum (it won't be, just and example), user1 starts a new thread with a title, a text field1 with movie plot, text field2 with movie review, text field3 with other comments. User2 replies to user1 with same text fields. I found a couple of "extra thread fields" add ons at vbulletin.org/forum/ , but I need the same functionality for users when they reply to a thread. If you have any idea about how much this may cost please let me know, if you're a programmer please pm with your rates. Thanks in advance Alfredo
Sounds more like you need a review add-on for Vbulletin. This would be a lot easier then trying to modify the core VB files. Once the core files are modified, updates become a real pain. One of the popular VBulletin review modules is "Review Post" - http://www.photopost.com/forum/ There is another Content management system that is built just for reviews, movie reviews to be exact. But I can not remember the name of it. Read through this thread at vbulletin.com, it list just about every CMS that will work with VB - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=242944 I posted a couple of replies to that thread, that is how I know about it. But I think that movie review module was listed in that thread.
You can always post a job on odesk.com and see if anyone can do it for the budget you have for the job. I need a mod done for VB and thats what i have done.
There are plenty talents on www.vbulletin.org You just need to register there and ask around. Or you can use site such as getafreelancer.com or scriptlance.com
