There's a buy now button at the top of this page. (Orange button to make the purchase).

That's not what I meant. There was no such button at the site you are sent to after clicking the orange button here at xenforo.com, but after registering and waiting for the membership to be approved (which took about an hour) I was finally able to make the payment.
 
I didn't find any option to show a sidebar on the front page with the most recent showcases. Is this possible?

If not, how can members be trigged to enter the Showcase section?

There are 6 XenPorta Blocks and 5 [bd] Widget Framework Renders (for widgets). I chose to spend time on those during the early versions instead of xf forum home sidebar when everyone (at the time) wanted Portal Blocks and Widgets instead. Forum Home sidebar blocks will be part of core before it goes stable. I'll probably include them in the next RC which will be this coming week.
 
In the future would it be possible to add: Another awesome feature would be the ability to rate different aspects independently such as, general dependability, actual performance vs advertised performance, customer service, etc.

Great! I'll wait for that, before this goes live on my site :)

Ps. Please make it possible to have the sidebar placed as high as possible. I have to stress the importance of it being very visible to members.

By the way, this sentence seems hard-coded: "Select the category that best describes your showcase item". I need to translate it.

I recall recently seeing someone's site, where they had the Showcase going to an index slideshow thing as the top of the forum list .. was this something that is easily done, and if so, can someone explain it.

Thanks :)

There is a discussion about ratings (stickied) in the suggestions forum. Please post this in there so others can weigh in as well. Feel free to post it as a separate suggestion as well. I only accept suggestions posted at the support site, not here as I can't properly track them here.

It ties into the bottom of the members online block (that is the hook I use). If you have other blocks doing the same, then the execution order of the listener decides which one is first.

If you can't find a phrase, then it is hard coded. Please post it as a "bug" or a "suggestion" at the support form so it can be properly tracked.

Must be custom or someone using XenPorta or bd framework widgets. I don't expose any data to forum home yet. I will be for a few sidebar blocks in this next coming version as well as a block that can be placed above or below the node list.
 
Really like the concept of this addon and might be what I am looking for to complete my site, would be nice to give it a demo though, I have registered on the support site for this addon to have a play if I can there.

Are there any examples of sites using this addon? I seen http://www.awalkerbit.me/ but thats about it. Thanks

Is there a way to install this mod twice on the site and have it on two separate items on the menu? So that the items from one would not mix with the items from the other?

Its possible with any addon, however, its not easy and unless you really know what you are doing, you will end up having a ton of issues/conflicts.

But just to say it's such a pleasure styling this bobster, so many options and the versatility of this add-on is a stylers wet dream. :p

That is looking excellent Shelley!


LOL re stylers wet dream hehehe I am enjoying styling mine up I must say, not quite sure I am enjoying it *THAT* much though :p hehehe.

I think I might get your thoughts on mine before I take it live, always value your opinion Shelley!

You have to show you appreciation when good workmanship is made. Reading back above it was a little dramatic of me :D

Anyway, got my sidebars on showcase index nearly done the header/footer. Quite chuffed about that.Still need to make the edits for them to display in other areas. :)

Can't wait to see what you've done to showcase kim. Any sneak previews? :P

That looks great Shelley!

I am doing something very, very different to my usual style, I want something very simple and clean, yet soft and girly and veiled and pretty, oh and hand drawn!

PMSL lol

Will send you a link via PM when I have it a bit further along than it is now.

Thanks Kim.

Sounds great what your working on looking forward in seeing what you have.

Out of curiosity, and I've always been meaning to ask (sorry bobster for going off-topic) with regards to your hand drawn art, how are you going about this? I'm at the mindset that I need a good tablet and have held off doing drawn art until i purchase a cintiqe tablet (going for the hd version but so far I've held off since it would be used for free based work) I would essentially want to re-coup some of the money back on that if i went ahead and made the purchase but with the online work i'm doing I can't justify purchasing it but willing to make the purchase if I can recoup cost which i probably would be able to do doing private works. Anyway, are you directly drawing onto a tablet and then migrating the hand drawn stuff to web? Or going about it another way?
