[DBTech] Easy Article Management v1 (vB4)

[DragonByte Tech]

Easy Article Management: What is it?
Easy Article Management (EAM) is a CMS widget and Forum block which allows Admins to see all unpublished articles from the CMS/Forum, a link to edit them, and a button to clear the system cache. It is compatible with vBulletin 4.x Suite.

Uses

A common complaint from people using vBCMS is that users create articles, yet the Administrator/Moderators have no way of knowing a new article has been created and is waiting to be published. EAM takes care of that by providing a simple CMS Widget and/or Forum Block listing all unpublished articles. Clicking on an article will take the admin directly to the editor to allow for review, editing, or publishing. Both also contain a 'Clear Cache' button to allow for front-end clearing of the system cache.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Nice work Brad

Nice work Brad

Thanks. :)

So for those who have installed it, any requests for additions?

[Kraxell]

Looks nice :) Only Admins can see the box?

[nerowolfe]

Installed. Nice mod. :)

It has an option in the ACP to be able to set what usergroups you want to see the box, with it defaulted to just Admins. But if you wanted moderators to see it as well, just add their usergroup in the options and they can see it as well. Cache button is the same way.

Links are not generating properly.

Link on forum page is
http://immortal-guild.net/content.php/295/edit
While actual link is
http://immortal-guild.net/content.php?295-Eternity-Vault-Cleared!/edit

Also uninstall gives a blank page.

Do you have vBSEO installed? Your actual link isn't formatted link a standard CMS link is the reason I ask.

I will look into the uninstall issue.

Actually no VBSeo at all.

Url Type: Basic Friendly URLs

If you are interested in fixing this, open [forum]/dbtech/eam/eam.php. On line 34 find:

$static .= '<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/content.php/' . $row[$i]['nodeid'] . '/edit">' . $row[$i]['title'] . '</a><br />';


Replace with:

$static .= '<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/content.php?r=' . $row[$i]['nodeid'] . '/edit">' . $row[$i]['title'] . '</a><br />';



Also uninstall gives a blank page.

To fix, open [forum]/dbtech/eam/install/uninstall.php. On line 6 find:


$get_widget_id = $vbulletin->db->query_read("


Replace with:


$get_widget_id = self::$db->query_first("


Sorry about that issue in the uninstaller. Also, not sure why the first code didn't work no matter what the Friendly URL setting was. I know an issue with the CMS friendly URL script that I reported has been fixed for 4.1.12, so once that's out, I'll be able to generate proper CMS links no matter what.

Having an issue on vB 4.2.0 Patch Level 2

When clicking the button on the forum side bar it gives this ACP error:

This function is no longer available. Please use 'Clean System Cache' in the maintenance section.

edit: Nevermind, found out the version number wasn't being reported properly for some reason on our install. I commented out the query for pre 4.2.x builds and it works a treat. Thanks.
