3- Are you saying that instead of how attachments are displayed now... you would like them displayed like the Media Boxes in vB articles?

Yes, the way the thumbs are shown in v3article makes the article-style forums stand out more. Combined with the a more visual ratingstyle (see request 2) it would give your mod a much more professional look

Yes, it does. My mistake. This request should have been combined with the next:

This feature would be fantastic. Many of my articles start with a bold title and then a contentlist. This is nice when you read the article, but complete pointless for the 'feature this article' option. Filling in a summary which can be displayed for the 'random article' and 'featured article' option is the sollution.

I've waited a long time before v3articles became stable for 3.0.3. Finally a few weeks back hacks were posted that fixed the thumbnails issue and the administration of the catagories. But at the same time your mod was posted. I just love the way it works. Because it's completely visually integrated to the messageboard (contrary to all others that are a sort of a sub-messageboard) this will be my article mod. Fantastic!

Another request: a page break option. I saw that Cinq's mod had this. This would be a great addition also to your mod.

Getting this error:

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /forumdisplay.php on line 816

Removed this and it now works.

if (in_array($forumid,$geek_article_forums)){
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GEEK_FORUMDISPLAY_ARTICLE') . '");');
}else{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('FORUMDISPLAY') . '");');
}

What is the consequence of removing that code?

Well, I was wrong. I'm getting a bunch of errors on posting messages now. Time to uninstall. :-(

NG, I was translating your phrases and found one phrase where it seems that you missed closing a quote in the installer.
Varname is: geek_articles_no_articles_last_x_days -There have been no articles posted in the last {1} days here.
and downloading the language file, it appears without/outside a phrase group, like this:

Code:

        <phrasetype name="" fieldname="">

                <phrase name="geek_articles_no_articles_last_x_days -There have been no articles posted in the last {1} days here."><![CDATA[]]></phrase>

        </phrasetype>

Sorry if I'm posting a already reported issue but I can't read 11 pages of posts right now =(

Cheers rlamego - I thought I had fixed that!

I updated the package... shouldnt cause a problem for anyone. The only time it would have been seen is if there were no articles to display for a specified period of time.

Huh. Agiacosa, do you know what version of php you are running?

It sounds to me like your phpinclude_start template isnt running. Do you have more than 1 style? If so, check that the $geek_article_forums array is appearing in the phpinclude_start of each of those styles.
The other thing I am confused about (though it still wouldnt casue the error) is that I went to the site in your profile and there is no forum 61. Can you provide a link to let me see the problem?

Thanks

I have three styles and I've included the same phpinclude_start in each.

I had to delete forum 61 because it was causing template problems for some reason. I just created a new forum in an existing category and its ID was 61.

To avoid the errors, I've returned forumdisplay and showthreads back to their originals.
