It's not perfect, has bugs here and there, doesn't import attachments and avatars yet, but you have absolutely no idea how wonderful it was for me to find myself face to face with a fully converted SMF forum running Wedge. The dream has finally come true!

And it looks gorgeous. There's no better way to test a design than to insert real data into it. I'm really happy with it now. I wasn't sure -- now I am. Party on! (Oh, and we're trying new Wedge logos, if you didn't notice. It's not final yet, but you can follow the process in the Logo Madness topic. Everything's public. Because that's how we do things at Wedge.)

I should note that as I refine some of the systems I'm working on, I'm likely to break stuff and then need to fix the importer but all in all, looking good :)

fieldset?
Post by: Arantor on August 4th, 2011, 02:46 AM
Practical example: go to an SMF forum, Admin > Main > News and Newsletters > Settings, then open the permissions option for either of the options. You get a box containing the permissions appear - the nice border around it is a frameset.

Well, I'm sure Thorsten will happily fix the import tool by himself.

Ah, I had a new blog post in the making, and then I dropped it... I was adressing the other SMF forks, and then kinda lost my inspiration when it came to discuss vblamer's project while trying not to be insulting... :P

I can hardly give the benefit of the doubt to someone who's widely recognized by the SMF community for his tendency to monetize everything he does for them.
So far, most of his changes to the SMF codebase (according to his commit logs) was to rename all entries of SMF into his fork name. I don't know about you, but when I'm seeing something like "SMF wishes to thank everyone who spent countless hours on the project", I'm not going to change SMF into my fork name after I only worked on it for a couple of hours... It shows a lack of respect for SMF itself. I wait a year before I did the same...
Until proven otherwise, to me he's just going to release an SMF with his mods (and the mods that were given to him -_-) built in, and on top of that he'll be selling a "pro" version of his forum with the "pro" (commercial) versions of the same mods... It's all about getting extra exposure for his $250 'suite'.
Let's just say only time will tell which conception of a SMF fork will make it into the hearts of the SMF community. But I think I already know...
Oh, well, I guess that's it now, I wrote a blurb about the damn fork... ::)

Credit for what? Does anyone know of anything he did for the SMF community that wasn't linked in one way or another to the selling of a commercial version of his work...?

I'm honestly curious to see if he forks SimpleDesk to make ezDesk for his fork. I already told him a year ago that he could, long before I was thoroughly and totally disgusted with his behaviour[1], when he wished we would make it for 1.1.x and I told him up front that he was welcome to port it himself. Funnily enough he never did to my knowledge.

But its not all his fault (95% his nvm :)), most mods directly given to him - he currently have 49 mods and most of are big. He is just making compatibility upgrades on mods, (we can talk about his mods all day long but no need to).
We don't need to talk much : http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=topics;u=24876 tells everything.
But still he is just a commercial guy, he can't do something free.
