Adding an articles forum

[Nelson58]

I am a newbie to VB. I have a small forum of 1700 members for home shop machinists.
We have the CMS module, and I elevate posts to articles and they appear on the opening (Home) page as articles (www.hobby-machinist.com).

I would love to make a dedicated articles page like on this site:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=184

So people can submit articles or I can put them on the articles page from the forums.

Please, how would I do this?
Is there a module?
Do I need some sort of code?

No one knows how to do this?

I thought it would involve a module or something? Help please?

Thank you very much!

I would like to let members submit articles and be able to approve them like on this site.

I'm not sure that this module allows me to do that as it is done on this site, but I will check it out.

Thanks again!

Hmm, why would you want to do this? You have the CMS and the Articles sections running.

Are you closing the Articles section (article.php)?
Do you want to replace the current Articles section with a link to an Articles forums?

Having all 3 would be very confusing to your readers.

The CMS apparently only appears on the home page (and sections you create from it). This is weird to me, so I installed the module that was suggested by the responder to my inquiry. Eventually, I plan to move everything to the articles tab. The home page should really be something else.
