Yeah, my thoughts egzackly .

Pretty sad that this isn't that big of a deal to the people on this forum, just shows how few webmasters are left :(

This is a great script and it's fantastic that Mechbunny are already providing updates with new features.

All I need now is perhaps a new template or two and some trade script integration.

Indeed. Bump for more templates k0nrad/designers.

im sending you a couple killer features hope you slide me a review copy if i ever need 1

I'm not sure that is the case entirely. I agree there is a lot fewer of us left than previously. The script does indeed look awesome.

In our case, it's a feasibility issue. We are kind of tied to a very heavily modified TGPX which acts as a centralized database. It powers 22 sites, model directories, gallery embeds, and more. It has lots of custom fields and database tables. It generates more than 37,000 TGP templates per day (per model, per niche/keyword, per site, per directory, RSS and XML feeds, etc). Add to that the custom query scripts, cron jobs, etc. that go between the database server and the hosting servers via the PNet and it's just a lot of work to migrate and convert to a new platform.

And when you factor in the idea of per domain licensing versus a server edition, ($50 * 22 sites = $1100 just to add the domains), it's simply not feasible when we have something that is customized and works fine right now.

After some unpleasant experiences with per domain licensing (see TGPX*, Arylia*, Links Organizer, etc.) I've tended to avoid these types of agreements and these days only buy software where it is not limited by domain. Basically, you are paying an ongoing support fee for support/upgrades. But I create test domains, development domains, split testing domains, without having to buy a new domain license.

Were this script priced at $250 to $300 unlimited and then an ongoing support fee, it'd be more attractive to me in that it removes some of the current and future overhead we would encounter while migrating data/sites and developing/testing new ones and new markets.

In the end, it's not for us right now. Perhaps down the road we will revisit it.

Having said all of that wall of text, I think it looks like an amazing script and looking forward to seeing what webmasters come up with. I think it's a great addition as well for those expanding their networks.

* To be fair, both TGPX and Arylia decoded their scripts to allow for self-support and customization and, thus, removal of domain specific limitations, to their credit.

Well said. Would buy it myself if there was an unlimited version, would be nicer to pay a fee for updates/support instead.

I've bought this script and will be rolling it out on my remaining TGP sites.

The question now is who is going to step up and start providing templates for this new script ?

That's the biggest roadblock right now, having designers who understand the script and it's features so that template designs take advantage of everything in a seamless but uniquely designed way.

I'll be happy to integrate any PSD into any of Konrad's scripts, be it the tube one or this TGP one or any other, etc... At the end of the day, all one requires is a PSD design, that's all. Also pretty sure Konrad can integrate any PSD design for you too if you want him to.

That being said, it's pretty easy to throw custom designs at this script. :2 cents:

We have a designer on staff that can do templates, but it will be a bit before we start releasing non-exclusive templates for it on mbtemplates.com. The templating is very similar to the tube script.

The Mechbunny tube script is fantastic, but having to wait to be issued serial numbers is a pain in the ass, especially on weekends. It was much easier for clients when the script wasn't partially encrypted and reliant on serials.

I wish Konrad would automate the process. :2 cents:

Anyone currently using the new TGP script? How is it? Easy to get templated?

Thanks!

You should take weekends off :1orglaugh Seriously though, you can always request the keys in advance.

I like the script very much as far as templetizing it is not difficult but it has a small learning curve

The templating system is very similar to the tube script - anyone who can skin that will be able to do this wihtout any issues

Thanks for the feedback. Gotta dive into this next week for sure.

:thumbsup would also be my choice

Nice job Konrad!

You're probably right :)

Where can I login to the admin for demo? Thanks

Sent you details on skype.

Maybe you can upload several videos to the demo site. It would be good to see how this works. It is all pictures now.

The TGP script only supports pictures

maybe great features for future update might be rss/xml feeds with pinger, like what wordpress has, so SE get pinged when new model or galleries gets added

and sitemap

Does the tube script support most of the TGP script features, so that one could do both photos and videos in the TGP / model directory type style?

Couldn't agree more!

I would definitely order a copy if there were more non-exclusive designs that go with the script. This way, not so sure.

+1 for more templates! :thumbsup

You can run that with no problems (I do)

Would it be ok if i took a peak at one of your websites?

Is mechbunny good with seo?

We have a sitemap. Do you have any link for the pinging thing so I can read up?

The tube script does support photo galleries, but the TGP script is far far more built-out in that area

- We will sooner or later make more non-exclusive templates for it

what's the sitemap url? domain.com/sitemap.xml doesn't seem to be it

I'm referring to the "Update Services" from Settings > Writing in a Wordpress Admin

Update Services « WordPress Codex

http://tgp.mechbunny.com/sitemap.php

This update services thing woudln't be hard to add but does it actually...help?

I am probably mistaken, but does it not have to be a .xml

Naw youc an submit anythign to google webmaster tools. The format needs to be xml, not the extension

Thanks Konrad.

Seems like I need a hybrid. TGP script with minimal video options.

I'll have to dig in and see if either script would work good for what I want. 80% photos and 20% videos.

you know what, since there's no blog/news component it's not necessary. I'll add a wordpress or something to the site, where I'll announce the new galleries and models

thanks for the sitemap url

Message me when the social platform script can be looked at... I'm looking for one right now....

Will do, it will be a while though

Thanks!!

If we bought the Tube script, do we get the TGP script for free?
Just asking ;-)

I would love the tgp script if webmasters could submit their links too.

I need a simple link submission script and prefer it to be by you!
