Looking to move from VB to XF

[Frank Chino]

My VB form has a library of manuals and and the like. It uses vBDownloads.

I don't see that xenForo has a plug in for that?

You can use the XF Resource Manager for something like that.

I'm not familiar with that but would the Resource Manager not be a suitable replacement?

Resources

xenforo.com

Thanks for answering. When I looked at that I saw a form where the messages had attachments. Is there more than that?

 

[Frank Chino]

Could I make sub-forms in Resources?
~Owners manual
~Parts Manual
~Factory Docs?

Are there any 3rd party plug-ins for a downloads manager?

It tracks versions & updates as documents or resources are revised. It also provides the feedback/discussion system for each resource as well as rating and download statistics.



If you're just looking for downloads without the extra tools, then this could be overkill, but I don't think it is.

I'm not aware of any that are similar to vBDownloads.
Looking at vb3 version of vBDownloads, the XF Resource Manager accomplishes the same goal with some added functionality.

Everything that vBDownloads does can be accomplished by XF Resource Manager. You can even change the name of it from "Resources" to "Downloads" if that is how you want it to appear to users.

Thanks for everyone’s help. I bought a license adding Resources and Media to the package.

I also paid the $50 to have it professionally installed. The purchase was made Sunday afternoon so I expected the work to be completed on Monday at the earliest. Fifteen or twenty minutes later it was up and running.

Now comes the hard part.

Welcome aboard!

I like to try and get to as many tickets as possible over the weekend.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that was you. Thanks again for your help.
