I finally finished the Sphinx Search integration, into vBulletin 3.7 forum software.
After 1,500 lines of code and a lot of server testing, I can say that the product can be labeled as “industrial grade”. This product is pretty technical, it requires server administration knowledge, as well patience to read the help information for each new option implemented into vBulletin control panel. (more…)
This will be a quite long product to code, for vBulletin.
I was looking at the current solutions and none of them was satisfactory for my site usage. So I decided to build my own. The project is large because it will be similar to eBay functionality, all embedded into vBulletin. (more…)
Once vBulletin 3.7.0 is final, I will need 2 beta testers, who will try my optimization package. This is a package that requires server software modifications, as well vBulletin physical file edits. Therefor, it is intended to a very small number of vBulletin users, which does not fit the current average vBulletin.org user.
The package contains several server software optimizations, an aggressive cache system as well a full Sphinx Search implementation with all vBulletin search options. (more…)
