Smoothie, actually the main reason its in beta right now is due to the planned addition of more features into this hack.
With some of the corrections provided by fellow members, i believe its basically a-ok.

Otherwise, if you are looking for a basic hack that can be used as a form of reviews, FAQ , tutorial, article ,interviews etc section, it can already be used.

In fact i am using this on my live site too, features planned for further versions of this hack i personally will not be needing but will be including for the benefit of those who may need it/them.

I got this error: It does not maintain line returns...
Also, see what happens when you try to submit a review please?

I realli need to get this one working right... :(:(:(

"maintains line returns"

now what exactly do you mean ?

I cannot submit an article cos you didnt provide a test account for me to log in :p

Did you change any of the code yourself ?

just an update, managed to get the pagination for articles working ... woot :D
Allows for splitting of articles up into several pages as desired by the article submitter based on a delimiter string.

Nope, this one is not for me. It need heavy work...

While I cannot ascertain the hack is perfect and bug free , I am consistently looking out for anything that needs correction and with the kind help from others who posted in this thread, just found some and corrected them with their help.

If you found any , it would be great to discuss in further detail so that the hack can be improved on.

If you arent going to even elaborate on your problem , how would you expect others to help you figure things out .. .. ..

Well, I did elaborate and the response I got was "use html"!
If that is the case, I can just do static pages and screw the hack.

If you want to do a hack, do it right. I rather pay for it if it is well done.

Your hack was so screwed up I just gave up on it seeing how you responded with "use html".

1. The cells between the Category and the link under it which says Submit new review is way too much
here take a look:
http://www.authorzone.com/forums/articles.php

2. The script does not maintain line returns and centers all the text and screws it up. It make all the tex piled up on top.

3. The authenticate feature, it should show a PREVIEW with a submit button instead of the whole article in an imput box.

4. When you pull up articles to authenticate them the Author gets deleted automatically before the page even loads, which makes it impossible to know who the hell posted what.

5. It should automatically link the name of the person/Author who posted an article/review to their profile.

6. There needs to be a preview option for the member who submits it to see what it looks like...

7. The vB has a thread rating system. You can intergrate that code so each article can be rated.

8. The category column is too wide and text too big.

9. The the admin should have the option to show only the article title linked to the article on the index page without the summary.

10. There needs to be an editor like the one in vB or better.

11. The ability to choose text and background colors for the article page and should be able to preset them from admin.

12. vB Code are essential.

13. Number of viewers who read it...

I could think of a bunch more features but these are essential, IMHO.

I hope this helps.
