Attached image of what I'm seeing. Any ideas?

Hey there naathanus. Are there any threads in there? Also, did you upload the newarticle.gif button to your images/buttons folder?

Since you are running a modified skin, you may need to copy it to wherever that skin looks to for its buttons. In all reality though, you may need to create a button called newarticle.gif that would look better on your skin (same thing for comment.gif)

Hope this helps ;)

Just as an FYI, I created a 'Latest articles' module for vBadvanced found here. Those using vBadvanced CMPS should give it a whirl.

Due to popular request, I have also released a Featured/Random Article module for vBaCMPS here->https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=73836

Hi
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I fell asleep at the computer :(
There are no threads - I'm testing this and all mods - on a test forum. I created the thread especially for this mod. Ith as an ID of 3 so could then go add 3 to the php_start option.
I uploaded the buttons but I'm thinking I may have added them to the default image folder not the modified skin's foler.
Ultimately I'll change the buttons but for now as it's on a test forum it doesn't matter :)

I'll try the button moving and let you know

Yep okay when I uploaded the images to the correct diectory I suddenly had an option to make a new article (amazing huh?). However I still have the issue where, in the title bar of where the articles are listed it shows up as
Quote:

: articles
In the normal forum section, that area would be:
Quote:

Thread / Thread Starter
In your demo you link to that section on your forum says:
Quote:

Article / Written by
Another question, in your demo link you have at the top of the article:
Quote:

Auctioning your values
Written by The Nail Geek
Is there an extra step to get the "Written by" part to show up?
Thanks :)

PM or post me a link. It sounds like your phrases arent installed correctly

memobug 01-05-2005 11:54 PM

MMMMMultiplepages :)

but they'll be asking for the PrinterFriendly template to go with!

Some article software I have used elsewhere lets you insert a pagebreak tag to create the breaks. Were you thinking along those lines, or perhaps would separate posts by the author be separate pages?

Regards,

Matt

Nathanaus: I had exactly the same issue as yourself and it was solved after a second uninstall -> install.

Nail Geek, I was looking at the files and reviewing the install and it just occurred to me that maybe the installation procedure depends on the changes made to the 2 php files. If so, that would explain why I need to do a second install to get it to display properly.
