Can I add branding free and advanced search later?

[AndrewSimm]

Also are those for just a year as well?

No need to add these now if it is going to take me 6 months to go live.

 

[Jeremy]

Yes. Branding free is a one time purchase. You renew the addons when you renew your license.

 

[AndrewSimm]

Well you here, how would you compare sphinx to the elastic search? I am using dp sphinx on my site now.

 

[Jeremy]

Use the elastic search as it's officially supported. Digital Pount made the switch to ES.

 

[AndrewSimm]

I see, I assume it is the same concept with index'ed searches?

 

[Jeremy]

I believe so, yes.

 

[AndrewSimm]

Well I bought it, so now I need to convince the other partners this is the platform we need to go with. I've have spent almost 2 years customizing and optimizing vbulletin so my work is cut out.

If anyone has any good plugin suggestions to replace my vbulletin cms then let me know. It is what brings my site traffic. Also something to replace vbdynamics.

I would look at using the RM in leu on vbdynamics.

 

[AndrewSimm]

Does it have custom fields?

 

[Paul B]

Not yet.
It has been suggested though.

Does it have custom fields?

There is a mod from @Waindigo which handles custom fields for RM.
