I have a rather dashing question...

I can see IP.Nexus as an application with rather great reselling abilities... So, will this application have a resellers program so that we may bundle the mini-apps with other packages?

Some questions to IP.Nexus :)


  1. Is IP.Nexus still written in PHP4 or in PHP5?
  2. Are IP.Dynamic and IP.Nexus completly rewritten or just integrated into the new IP.Nexus?
  3. Has IP.Dynamic as IP.Nexus module the same features as the classic IP.Dynamic shown in Matt's blog?
  4. One year ago IP.Vectura (the Webmail System) disappeared on the IPS front site and in the forums. Can we expact IP.Vectura as IP.Nexus Application?

- It is PHP4
- A bit of both. Large portions of both were rewritten for the merge, but some areas remained the same. That said, all the features and more from the 'old' Nexus and Dynamic are still there. We haven't taken any features out.
- See above
- I don't have any news on Vectura for you right now I'm afraid

The new video is cool, didnt realise that IP.Nexus came with a standard page management anyway at first. One thing it didnt show, can you actually edit these 'static' pages, or does it just load it from your FTP? Or is it only the CMS addon that allows you to edit them?

Great work on the clear speech Rikki :) Helps alot

You can edit the static pages from IP.Nexus without the CMS addon.

I have several questions about Nexus for quite a long time.

  1. Will Nexus work like Amazon or Ebay selling real solid things or just selling software? If selling software, will Nexus support transmission resuming at break-points download tools to download software over than 1GB?
  2. Will Nexus be integrated with Point System so that users could use posts to exchange some points on purchasing things with a discount?
  3. Will Nexus need extra security settings on the server than IPB?
  4. Will Nexus be secure enough for the users to make reliable online bussiness?
  5. Will Nexus support multilingual?
  6. Will Nexus have some socket features for the users if they want to make some Client/Server software which need an online validation with Nexus?
Thanks.

1) The first version is for mainly for software and services, later versions will have support for selling 'real' things.
2) A credit system will be introduced in the next version
3) You'll want SSL anyway
4) We use it for our business
5) Yes
6) Not sure what you mean by socket features

Thanks for the reply. ;)

About the 6th, if I make a game or some other software and I want an online validation for the users, I make a login page in the game and it will check the user's account information in the Nexus. Will Nexus have some portal things to make this work?

There is an API system in IP.Nexus for accessing information. The initial release will have enough for what you are talking about and we'll be adding additional access points in future versions. Here's an example for an API call to get customer info:

http://www.yourdomain.com/nexus/admin/api/...=ID;key=authkey

This would return an xml sheet of info something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Nexus_Response>
    <customer_data>
        <cust_data_id>1</cust_data_id>
        <first_name>Test</first_name>
        <last_name>User</last_name>
        ...
        <packages>
            <package>
                <cust_pkg_id>1</cust_pkg_id>
                <cust_data_id>1</cust_data_id>
                <pkg_def_id>1</pkg_def_id>
                <cust_pkg_purchase_date>1127188800</cust_pkg_purchase_date>
                <cust_pkg_renewal_date>1216497163</cust_pkg_renewal_date>
                <cust_pkg_status>1</cust_pkg_status>
                <cust_pkg_pricing_discount/>
                <pkg_name>Some Package</pkg_name>

                <cust_pkg_id>1</cust_pkg_id>
                <cust_inv_description>Some Package</cust_inv_description>
                <cust_inv_amount>29.95</cust_inv_amount>
                <cust_inv_date_generated>1128920400</cust_inv_date_generated>
                <cust_inv_status>paid</cust_inv_status>

What's further to that AH Modding, is Converge supports passing of arbitrary data (through module extensions) - we actually built this in for our IPS Beyond -> Nexus support (which hasn't been set up yet). More information on that to come, but you wouldn't even have to modify IPB if you used Converge.

WOW... it's really fantastic. The only thing now I can do is waiting for the price announcement, hope it won't beat my crispy heart too much.

Let me see if I got this right (from reading a few pages on this topic)...Can I use Nexus CMA to create a custom web page that will allow me to show certain items from my forum, like active topics, board stats, new blogs/gallery's, etc...(NOT UNREAL PORTAL OR SOME 3rd party modification)..I mean a real custom home page?

I was thinking of hiring someone to do that for me but if I can do that with Nexus, I'll wait! =)
Thanks
