Have you tried to upload all the new files again and make sure that you overwrite the files and then install the product again overwriting the one you just installed? Sometimes it works. I've also installed the recent articles hack myself and I can view it logged in. So maybe there is something else wrong here like a current hack is not playing nice with the updated articles version. Something else you can try is disable each hack one by one and see if you still get the error. If you don't then you know the hack you just disabled is conflicting with this new version of the article hack. If you find the hack that is causing a problem try upgrading it to the latest version with all the hacks enabled. Then see if you still have the prob with the articles if so, you may want to temp or perm disable that particular hack or try adn find a hack that is similar to it and install it instead.
Edit: I also noticed that this hack is not compatible with vb 3.7. Are you running 3.7? If so yo may want to upgrade to 3.8. I'm using ti with 3.8.3 with no probs.

3.8 is what I am on. It must be another hack that is messing with it; I just have no clue which one :( This problem only arose when I upgraded to the last version (1.9?)
EDIT: Working for now. I will inform if the encoding error comes back.

I'm using this article hack. I would like to have a hack that is for classifieds that is pretty much just like this article hack. Is it possible to get this as a classified hack where I can have both installed on my site?

Thank you for a great mod. We are experimenting with setting up a magazine kinda thing with this. I just had one question (I'm not a coder) but where can I change the word "Article" that comes up in the navbar when you select that option?
Also, I'd like the sort of the page that lists all the articles when you enter the area, to auto sort by first article entered, kinda like a Table of Contents. I'm not sure how to make this a permanent sort, if possible. Appreciate the hard work, really like the format.
Thank you!
Change the phrase 'article'
Or if you only want to change the text in navbar edit plugin 'Links' and replace $vbphrase[articles] with your preferred text

Use direct link to articles.php rather than forum
Or find in Plugin 'Article Forum'
eval(print_standard_redirect('Redirecting...', false, true));
and replace with:
eval(print_standard_redirect('Redirecting...'));

Just found out this mod fails when using W3C's CSS 2.1 validator. The vBa addon module fails as well. I've posted there, too.
On the upside...it's XHTML compliant.
Do you have a fix for the CSS issues?

After an article is read, the title of that article remains bold. While viewing the articles forum it is impossible to tell what has been read and what has not. I do like having the title bold as it helps it stand out but is there a way to show something that distinguishes between read and unread articles (threads)? Not sure how possible this is but maybe changing the color of the title would be an option?
anyone know a way to get the article authors avatars instead of the article attachments to show at articles.php?
Just installed this, created a test article and ran into a problem.
I'm using FireFox 3.5.
I get a script timeout error anytime I try to read one of the articles. This includes right after you save it and you're taken to the article. So basically anytime you try to view an article on showthread.php this happens. It doesn't happen to my standard forum threads.
If I hit Cancel on the script timeout popup, the page then loads from what I can tell successfully.

I've scoured this thread and the mod, but I can't seem to see where it assigns the variable for the page title.
Right now it's set to the articles variable. I'd really like to set it to the same as everything else in the forum, which is the forum title + the articles template tag.
Where is the page title set in this mod?

By the way, the reason why it fails CSS is due to the thumbnails. If I disable these thumbnails from showing, the product validates for CSS.

Additional css has been added to allow compatibility with older browsers, such as internet explorer 6. For me, displaying the content properly across as many browsers as possible is paramount to WSC saying the CSS is valid.

Bit of an odd question, I've 2 styles on my forum, one of which is aria.
Its added in the nav bar but its missing a divider line. I can add the link manually myself but I can't find where to delete the original nav link.
In aria they are either in the nav bar or the header file but I can't find it in either - would you have any other suggestions as to where I should look?
Thanks :)

Just realized this mod is not pulling any of the meta tag information from the forums.
Title of the articles.php page is returned as "Articles - Mozilla Firefox". Any categories return the same info..."Category name - Mozilla Firefox".
Shouldn't the title return the following..."Article/Category name - Forum Title - Mozilla Firefox"?
Found no instance of meta tags in any of the templates, so...I'm assuming the change has to be made to the articles.php file.
Any recommendations?

Also, if the right column can be removed, does this automatically expand the width of the center column?

Hmmm - There was an update to this modification only 2 months ago - so I highly doubt it's discontinued. It's still marked as supported - so the author will answer support requests as time allows...? IDK about the "official" demo forum - but you can see the same modification at my forum WLSJourney.org WLS Articles (http://wlsjourney.org/community-forums/articles.php) ;)

What would cause the article and the comments to change places? When I post an article, it looks perfect, as expected. As soon as someone comments, the comment is now in the article's place, and the article is down with other comments. ?????
I'm not sure... check the times of the posts. Also have you enabled newest posts first for threads?

Yes, bananalive's suggestion in the answer. Your posts cannot be set to newest first. Here's the fix:
Go to Admin CP > vBulletin Options > User Registration Options.
Scroll down to Default Registration Options, and ensure the Thread Display Mode is set to 'Linear - Oldest First'
Click Save.To set all your members to that setting (some may have different settings for their individual account), you can run the following database queries (if you have the proper admin permissions):
Admin CP > Maintenance > Execute SQL Query
Use the Automatic Query dropdown to choose 'Thread Display - Linear', then click 'Continue' to follow through.
Then repeat steps 1 & 2, but this time choosing 'Posts - Oldest First' from the dropdown.If, when you go to do the queries, you get an error saying you don't have the proper permissions, you need to add your user ID to the config.php file where I've placed the bold red text, making sure you keep it between the two single quote marks:
// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
// See the above entries for more information on the format.
// Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
// to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = 'user ID number goes here';
config.php is inside your includes folder.
Hope this helps. :)

If you read even the slightest bit of the install-info, you'd see that you have to select
wich forums it should be using.
Fire up vbulletin options/Article Forum Option and select the forum you articles to use.
And yes, it redirects to articles.php. Has to be that way.

The Demo site is closed, so I don't know what it would be protecting you against. There is no known security risk with this mod. All it really does is change the look of one forum to better suit articles. Mostly it uses built in functionality of vB.

At first glance, I'd say you have something else running on that page that's causing the problem, and not the article mod per se. Maybe one of your postbit modifications is not complete, because the part of the required code was part of a postbit and header edit, but that edit isn't part of the articlebit by default.

From what I can see, it will only work with one forum at this time.

But if I can get it to work, then I need to contact bananalive to see if he will post the new code, or let me post it as a modification of his product.

How can I do that? When I assign this sort order in the forum properties in the admincp and tell article forums to use the default sort option, it's still not sorting based on the avg rating.
I hope that anybody can help me here!

I want to change the "Today you not only need to know how to build a website but how to SEO optimize it. For all of you newbies, this means to optimize it for the search..." to be longer.

Ah, well, it looked like such a great modification, too. I wonder if there are similar enough alternatives...

I have just tested v1.9 on vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 4 and it worked fine. So the compatibility issue appears to have gone.
If you do wish to try installing v1.9 on your forum you will need to remove the following line from product file
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.8.0" maxversion="" />
Oh, didn't see this. I should have searched first. I'll give the modification a try.

does anyone know how to get the 'notices' working with this?
Hi.
I used this mod since a months, all works fine, but I have a doubt if its possible change display options.
When I go to my articles (articles.php) in this screen appears: In the left column the categories (subforums), search, pot new article...
In the right column appears: top authors, top reads...
In the middle column appears the last articles.
Well, this is that I want changed.
I want that, when I go to articles, in the middle column appears only the index of categories/subcategories, and not appears the last articles, and when click in any categories/subcategories appears the articles.
Is this possible?
Thanks and regards!

"Asking coders/designers about vBulletin 4.0 and their releases.
Asking them to upgrade their work while vBulletin 4.0 is still in Beta, and probably before the production version of vBulletin 4.0 has been released for some time, only annoys people and will probably not make them release their work on vBulletin 4.0 any sooner. We therefor request not to ask such questions for now in the 3.x release forums. Please keep an eye on the 4.0 release forums to see if a modfication or style is available on vBulletin 4.0."

1. I'll wait for the "Allow multiple article forums".
2. Is there anyway to have the normal forum display style instead of article page? Like when user clicks on one of the article forum, instead of redirecting to article page, can you make it so it will go to normal forum page? Because the thing that I'm interested is the thumbnail display in Vb advanced mainpage and thread thumbnail!!!!!!

If you only want the thumbnail and article preview, then I believe there individual mods that do only those respective things. This uses a wholly new template for the selected forums.

For example, now, in this page, the title is:

"Articles - Mozilla Firefox"
Not appears the name of my site.

Yes, the attachments show inline perfectly in the forum I have set to the article forum. It is every other forum in the system that is loosing the inline attachements :(
Same problem here. I spent a few hours trying to figure out what happened to all of our inline attachments.
Ok, With the newest version the inline attachments are still showing as links.
This mod is great although one slight problem, when installed all images which are uploaded to the forum filesystem show as links and not inline as they used to, this affects every forum board and not just the board I have it set the plugin to.
Try disabling 'Full Size Attachments'
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Article forum Options -> Full Size Attachments -> No
This does NOT fix the problem. This is a serious bug in this plugin and I had to uninstall it.
After first installing this, it caused our inline attachment images to go to links. I started getting complaints galore. After figuring it out, I disabled it and attachments came back as inline images.
I already had vBulletin Options -> Article forum Options -> Full Size Attachments -> No
I tried changing it to Yes... no help... and then back to No... still no help.
Again... this is a serious bug and people need to be warned who desire to have inline attachments.
Uninstalled until this bug is fixed... it is too serious!
Btw... You have a PM, but you can continue to ignore it. I hardly want a buggy plugin.

Another thing I noticed about this mod is you cannot subscribe to a category to get notices when someone post a new article... unless I am missing something. I can subscribe via the Forum Manager since I am an admin... but regular members cannot subscribe.

Not sure if this has been covered...and I apologize if it has.
For the Article Postbit in the Admin CP of this mod...
If I set "Use article postbit instead of default?" to Yes then the article fails XHTML validation. If I set it to No, it passes. Now I know you may care less if the page fails W3C compliance, but there are those of us who feel this effects how search engines see your site...and it actually does.
Now...there are only 14 errors, but I'm not one to try and hunt down the errors. I mean...I do what I can, but I don't want to change anything that may cause issues to this mod and our forum.
Is there any way someone here can give me a little guidance as to where I can edit the article postbit for this mod? I appreciate any help...

I have posted a request in the paid services forum as follows:
We are in need of an Articles forum. There is a mod here for that purpose... you can see it here:
Article Forums Mod Version 1.9
However, if you scroll down that page to post #897 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2023985&postcount=897) you will see that the modification has a pretty serious bug issue.
The mod in its current state will break your inline attachments and turn them into links.
Several of us using that mod have tried to contact the coder and get him to fix the bug and have also offered to pay him to fix it, but he is completely ignoring us and offering no support for the mod. I am surprised that vb.org allows coders to claim a mod is supported when it is in fact not supported, but that is their choice.
I would like to pay someone to fix the bug in this mod that is breaking inline attachments. I do not see how this could be too seriously complicated to fix, but I am also willing to pay someone to create a new mod like this and post it in the forum for all to use.
Thanks!
It is posted here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2030099#post2030099).

Ich schreibe das in Deutsch, dann kann es jemand ?bersetzen. Mein Englisch scheint mir nicht ausreichend zu sein.
Das plug-in funktioniert einwandfrei, wenn man f?r sein Forum schon immer Thumbnails genutzt hat. Genau dann existiert zu jedem Bild ein Thumb, das in der Artikel-Vorschau genutzt werden kann. Genau dann ?ndert sich in allen Unterforen nichts.
$vbulletin->options['attachthumbs'] = 1; (siehe oben)
Hat man in seinem Forum zeitweise die Einstellung "zeige keine Thumbs" aktiviert, werden Bilder hochgeladen f?r die kein Thumb erstellt wird. Genau jetzt bekommt man durch die globalen Einstellung des plug-ins das Problem, dass ?berall nur Links angezeigt werden, weil ja keine Thumbs da sind.
Eine L?sung habe ich noch nicht parat. Am einfachsten erscheint es mir, beim Upload ?ber den Formularaufruf eine Variable zu ?bergeben, damit dann vor dem Upload tempor?r auf "Nutze Thumbnails" geschaltet wird.
Somit h?tte ich meine Vorschau, aber sonst keine Thumbs im Forum.
BTW: Wie kann man Thumbs erstellen und es dem User ?berlassen, ob er Vollbilder, Thumbs oder nichts sehen will. Immo gibt es wohl nur die Frage "Bilder anzeigen oder nicht". :(

This is a very long thread so I hope no one minds if I ask a question that may have been already been answered.
I like this mod, but when you click on the article forum from the main list of forums, it gives you that "Redirecting........" message, before it takes you to the articles forum. It doesn't do that when you click on the tab "Articles" next to "User CP", but for some reason does so when you click on it from the forum listings.
Is there a way to change this so that this doesn't happen when trying to navigate to the articles forum from forumhome? The slight drag of "Redirecting...." can be a bit off-putting in what is an otherwise fantastic mod.
Any assistance is appreciated. thanks.

Another question regarding this mod.
Currently, this mod pulls the text in the article preview section from the non-quoted text in the first post. One can have a very long post, but if it is all in quotes, then it won't show in the preview portion on the article forum homepage.
Is there a simple way to change this so that when it does pull from the article text for preview, it will pull from the quoted text as well?
Thanks.

For some reason I cant get articles.php to display right.
bb code displays parse and unparsed.
Images do not resize to one size.
Text preview length counts characters that are in bb codes and cuts off in the middle of words.
Do you have any idea how I can solve this?
I do not want my forumdisplay.php replaced, because I have a vbadvanced page for article overview and I want my moderators to be able to normally browse the forums.
I partially resolved this by disabling the following plugins: 'article forum' and 'links'. I tried the edit of show thread complete that you posted earlier in the thread, but that results in a error on showtread.
Could you please add a setting for this?
Is there any way to reduce the font size on articles.php ?

Also, is there a way to have moderation check boxes included with this? And can articles that have been read have a way to show that? Maybe a different font style to the headline or a image overlay to "cloud" the image some if read?

When deleting posts, the posts are blanked out, but still visible.
When rating a post, the user gets a xml error.
I have uninstalled this for now. I hope this will be fixed.
For some reason I cant get articles.php to display right.
bb code displays parse and unparsed.
Images do not resize to one size.
Text preview length counts characters that are in bb codes and cuts off in the middle of words.
Do you have any idea how I can solve this?
I do not want my forumdisplay.php replaced, because I have a vbadvanced page for article overview and I want my moderators to be able to normally browse the forums.
I partially resolved this by disabling the following plugins: 'article forum' and 'links'. I tried the edit of show thread complete that you posted earlier in the thread, but that results in a error on showtread.
Could you please add a setting for this?
Is there any way to reduce the font size on articles.php ?

Having a bit of trouble with the BB code parsing on article.php
It's set to not parse BB code, but one of our custom image alignment BB codes is displaying the URL from inside the tags:
Spring has arrived here in Michigan quite suddenly, going from wet, rainy, and cold to hot, sunny, and downright balmy in the space of a couple of days. Of course, it seems only right that with the sudden appearance of Spring, the new edition of Kobold Quarterly should arrive! http://www.neuroglyphgames.com/rpgblogs/home/neurogly/public_html/rpgblogs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/KQ-Cover.jpgAnd Issue 17 of Kobold Quarterly, the Switzerland of the Edition Wars, is full of feature articles, new content, and editorials containing new material for Pathfinder, D&D 4E, and Dragon Age RPG. As with my previous reviews of Kobold Quarterly, each article will be rated on a scale of 1-5 for Crunch and Fluff to give readers an idea of how useful the material is for their game system. But I have also decided to change the format of my grading system for reviews to a similar format – so rather than assigning a letter grade as I have done previously, each criteria will get a rating of 1-5, with...
Is there any way for the mod to simply ignore that BB code and not post that URL in the middle of the article preview text?

A super ancient bump for anyone who can help. i coudlnt find a solution with the latest version and actaully went back searching all the way to page 2, sigh :(
I basically want what Sweeks wanted where i can to retain the Articles.php navigation bar where i go in the articles forum, so when i click on an article, the categories navigation still stays in place. it does not just dissapear into showthread.
I know its not supported by the author but any help from fellow vbers who are in the know or have done something similar would be much appreciated.

disable forumdisplay plugins:
Article Forum (forumdisplay_complete)
Edit Show Thread (showthread_complete)
if ($articleforum)

I'm running 3.8.6 and I installed this mod last night. I am happy to report that it is working perfectly. I just wish you could identify more than one forum as an article forum - but then again I have no tried to set a parent forum as the article forum to see if the setting is carried forward to the forums children.
perhaps someone knows the answer to this question?

hey Blueman, try this (its working for me), we just need to format current date with the days we want minus thread dateline. We create $datecut variable and a condition the query
This for most read:
if (in_array('mostread', $af_modules))
{
$row = 0;
$af_mrpp = $vbulletin->options[af_mrpp];
// Change the first 90* for the days you want
$datecut = TIMENOW - (90*24*60*60);
$threads = $db->query_read("
SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title AS threadtitle
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
ON (post.postid = thread.firstpostid)
WHERE thread.dateline > $datecut AND thread.forumid IN ($forumids)
and this for most comment:
if (in_array('mostcommented', $af_modules))
{
$row = 0;
$af_mcpp = $vbulletin->options[af_mcpp];
// Change the first 90* for the days you want
$datecut = TIMENOW - (90*24*60*60);
$threads = $db->query_read("
SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title AS threadtitle
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread

By the way, I read in the first post that it doesn't work, but I also saw some people posted that some versions did work on 3.7 (I think 1.9 was 1 version I seen mentioned).
If it does, would anyone have an older version that would work?

Hello. bananalive (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=223075) is the modification author. So you'd need to ask him that. I do believe there's a vB 4.x version of article forums though. I seriously doubt there will be any further revision to the 3.8.x version.

I'm getting "Content Encoding error" an all browsers.
I read that its has to do with gzip or mod_deflate. The errors had started to happen after I installed xcache on the server.
Also I have tested on localhost on a new bran vbulletin installation and worked ok. So I guess its something to do with compression (xcache, gzip or mod_deflate). I have disabled gzip on vBulletin Options - Cookies and HTTP Headers but still doesnt work. (returning me to article.php when clicking any button inside articles /post new article, most readead, etc).
Any suggestions to make it work with xcache/gzip/ or mod_deflate?
