Vbulletin installed 2007-09-29 01:18:33 My hired programmer for sultantheme main website code still busy to do my work..he has a full-time job..yet I still believed that this can be done sooner and later. Its been a while since I planned to build sultantheme from the ground in end of May this year, I planned it for the whole year, I said I will start selling on May 2008. Anyway plan might or will be amend in the middle of the road.Who knows the future. I might be selling before May.
Anyway the good news today is I have bought vbulletin and installed in our directory.
http://vbulletin.sultantheme.com/forum/
this will be the live forum preview for vbulletin.
I also thinking of IPB, but put on pause for a moment because, I think I can manage to have 3 engine at a time, not 4, 4 forums engine with 1 hand clicking and dragging the mouse will take years to finish skinning forum skin in my designbank. My designbank still has no progress at the moment stuck at the value of 78-79 designs. I hope I can do something new and add value i
Main Website Function List 2007-10-18 23:50:31 SultanTheme.com will be powered by a simple shopping cart, unfortunately this shopping cart is not associated with tagging and powerful content search. Anyway that I can afford at the moment since I installed it myself, which is the plan B, since plan A : getting a hired programmer to work on sultantheme.com lead to nowhere . Here are the basic functions that will get sultantheme.com on the move someday and currently already being installed.
- functional paypal shopping cart - very simple user registration based(name,pw,email)
- newsletter mail-list
- tagging management
- powerful content search (non shopping cart)
- FAQs engine
- free downloads section
- basic SEO
- contact us form
- simple side functions (announcement on-off, useronline,stats)
So hopefully I will manage to complete few skins for phpBB, vBulletin and SMF(cut and implement, new button sets) within 2-3 months from now since the website is almost ready in term of functionality. I have 80 skins in my designbank alone. I a
SultanTheme Update 2007-10-17 11:12:27 The glad news is the shop is ready 80% still in testing period. What I really need to do now within next 2 months is to prepare for soft open, with at least 3 product each category(phpbb3 might be left until its out of RC period) and the free stuff to test out my shopping cart.
The shop is not coded by a hired programmer from previous mentioned in my post. Something comes up and I need the shop to be ready at anytime. So I surveyed and used one of the free ones. The basic functionality is there. Its working. permalinks also working. So I am now happy the shop nearly finish.

new year 2008 2007-12-07 22:07:20 New year is near. I started this project, sultantheme on May 2007 and plan to start selling also on May 2008, but I feel it is too long to wait. So maybe I will start selling in January to keep me going and motivated. I will start off with vbulletin and phpBB, SMF will follow. vBulletin will release 3.7.x soon so I think its a great start. We’ll see. I expect sultantheme.com will be known as forum skin provider after 6 months and will get regular visitor/downloader by then. So its a fast forward plan, 5 month early, but targetted skin in my collection still far from the number expected.
