New plug-ins released!

We just added two brand new plug-ins to our plug-in gallery, and I know you will all like the fact that both are free

They can be downloaded from the Resource Center - hope you will enjoy using them as much as we did developing them

1. Submit Story
This plug-in will add an important social component to your website – user generated content. Submit story plug-in will allow members to easily submit their own news and articles. Your community will not only read articles you publish, but also provide very valuable contribution.

More info / download: http://www.vivvo.net/resources/downl...mit-story.html

2. Mobile / PDA
Mobile / PDA plug-in allows your visitors to easily browse your website using their mobile devices, PDAs and Blackberries. Although Vivvo is accessible via mobile devices by default, this plug-in is designed for maximum ease of use via mobile/PDA. It will introduce dedicated URL for accessing the website (http://www.example.com/mobile), with simplified version of the website, introducing only the important elements of navigation and content.

I would also like to use this thread to announce three upcoming plug-ins.

1. Banner Management - commercial plug-in that is already in public Beta for all Developer/Corporate license holders will be available for purchase by the end of the week
2. Form Builder - commercial plug-in, very powerful builder not only for "contact us" forms, but much much more. In development phase, will be out in February.
3. Wordpress Importer - free importer script for popular blogging platform that will import your entries, comments, tags, authors and categories to your Vivvo website. Available in February.

As one who moved from the FREE WordPress, which contains many of the basic features available in Vivvo plus a slew of FREE plug-ins and templates, I'm beginning to wonder about having been attracted to pretty appearance rather than substance. I will never stop buying to get real functionality that should be native to a paid publishing system. There's the open source OpenAds and any amount of free "contact us" forms around the Web for those who can't hack one together...

What's a CMS without a contact form? Sad.

How about the original license owners of Banner Plugin - Do we have to purchase that too? If we do what is the price?

Previous owners of Banner Management plug-in will not have to pay for it.

With regards to contact form questions - this plug in is not just a contact form builder, it is a generic form builder. This means you'll be able to create unlimited number of any kind of forms with it for your website.

Still, VV should come with a standard Contact Form. What sort of CMS has no Contact Form? Some of us may not need all the fancy "create unlimited number " of forms business.
