Hi guys! For the last 3 weeks or so I've been working on a sequel to the AiO (http://resources.zetaboards.com/topic/5093305/) called Dynamo. Dynamo is an advanced modification for ZetaBoards and will offer everything the AiO did, except a lot quicker and will offer a lot more functionality. What exactly will it offer?
As with the AiO, every single feature can be turned off with just one click in the Dynamo ACP. Dynamo integrates the user groups by allowing you to change their individual settings. For example, administrators can earn $100 per post, members can earn $5 per post, etc etc. The possibilities are endless with this system. What's even better about this is the loading times. If you decide you are looking for a reputation system for example, you don't need to be worried about installing such a large system on your forum as it knows not to load anything BUT the reputation system. To reiterate, this will only load what you want it to load. I'm roughly 38% of the way through the project (see the offline message here for full details). However, I am looking for suggestions on how to make this even better, or if you have some ideas on other features to add into the system I'd love to hear it. I'm open to any suggestions/ comments or feedback! Previews -Bank -Lottery Edited by Viral, Aug 11 2012, 08:22 PM.

Question is, what are you going to do about reoccurring web hosting payments so what happened with ZB AiO won't happen with this? |

AiO didn't go down due to unpaid web hosting, it went down because the main infrastructure of the code relied on something that Brandon prevented from working in one of his updates. The hosting for AiO was paid using donations from members (and the remaining by myself) for about 6/7 years, and the hosting I have for viralsmods.com has been paid 3 years running. I have my own documents on the hosting site so I won't be neglecting it. |

Can't wait to install this on TMF. Have wanted a money system with donations for a long while now. |

No problem. Positive update: Just about all of the ACP that is necessary for release is now ready. I'm now working on the currency system and it's ACP, but this should be done relatively quickly. Once that's done I'll be working on an installation page so people can start adding Dynamo to their forum ASAP .

Sounds great Viral! Will there be an upgrade from the trial version, or is a clean install required? |

Obviously a code such as this relies on external hosting as the AIO did. But will there be any kind of provision for admins that can supply their own hosting or will this still be strictly limited to whatever hosting you choose to use for it? I do of course realise that most admins won't have either the knowledge or capability to host their own files but just wondered if it would be an option for those that do? |

-The-: A clean install will be required. The database system I was using has when the trial was online has been completely trashed and re-written (for more efficiency) and there's simply no [easy] way of transferring data. Lout: I will keep it on my hosting only, and I don't ever see me allowing transferal of the hosting for various reasons including security and the fact that I like to be able to see how Dynamo grows, which can only really be done if it's all kept in one place. Aside from that, I can easily push out updates by the push of a button (literally), but with off-site hosting there would be the problem with some sites using non-updated versions (which could potentially be a security flaw) :< . |

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions everyone. A preliminary version with just one feature (currency) at the moment has been released: http://if.invisionfree.com/topic/5194097/ . |
