I have read through the last couple of pages looking for the answer to this and I can't findanything.

It likes like a great hack and I wouldn't mind getting it up and running myself, providing it works with vB 3.0.3

Thanks :)

We have it running on 3.0.3 :)

There are a couple of bugs to fix, but I don't think they are related to the version of vB.

Actually, there is at least one bug I know of that is version related. I'd go through all the posts (I know, huge job), and read up on it before installing.

Someone needs to compile all the information required to run this on 3.0.3 and put it in one post. If no one has done it by the time I get around to extensively working on articles, I'll do it.

I can probably do this without too much trauma. I just installed it a couple of days ago, actually did read through this entire thread and took a few notes. I'll catch it later today.

I figured it out. Basically the images are directed to each "style's" directory. So basically I had all the images in the /images/ directory, while the style I was using was in the /images_grey/ directory. Just uploading to the correct directory fixed it.

Awesome MOD!

I'm getting a query error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM article
WHERE categoryid=2 AND (articleuserid=1 OR open IN (0,1)) ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 0,
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 2

mysql error number: 1064

I'd double check to make sure you didn't miss anything when doing the changes required by the hack. I've run across this once and I was missing a comma. ;)

Thanks John, this is a great addition to the forums, many nice game/movie review are often lost by other posts, may i asked what your plans for the upgrades are?

if you have a humungusfantastico upgrade plan is it better to wait or will the upgrading be easy?

:ninja: i don't know why there's a ninja in my post

would it be possible to call the feature article from another Vb powered page if so how

I'm sure it is because there's a module for vbadvanced cmps that can do it. I'd look at that and see if you can adapt the code.

how do i post HTML in an article? i can't figure it out!

You might need to use this hack in order to post HTML in the articles.

Can anyone confirm if that hack will allow you to post HTML in the articles??

EDIT: The HTML only for admins hack doesn't seem to work for me when creating articles. :(

Hey fellas....I'm running vB with the vBadvanced CMPS (just starting to set vBa up). My site is www.ap0calypse.com and one of our main features is our hardware reviews. Up till now we have just been posting them in a dedicated forum, but I want to make it more professional, like on the bigger well known sites. You know, so the review has its own pages...you start reading the review, then click "next" to go to the next page of the review, etc.

Will this hack let me do that? I started reading the posts and it seemed like it.....but rather then read 40 pages I figured I would just ask the question.
Also, if someone is using this for reviews could you send me the link to your site so I can see what it looks like....thanks!

How do i do a clean uninstall? I had run the "uninstall" in the admin/install.php and i still have the articles in my admin options scroll down. What else do i have to install?

Think about it this way; you ran the install - but did it edit the admincp files for you? No it didn't - the file edits did it for you. So you must reverse-work through the file edits instructions :)

Great hack! Installed smoothly on 3.0.3. Thanks John!

I want to install this hack as it looks fantastic. I don't want to though unless there is a way of using HTML. Does anyone know if HTML can be enabled for the articles?

Sweet! Thanks for a nice mod and an easy install!

same error as above anyone know how to fix it?

From what i can see, it all works. Except there is no button to add articles anywhere.

I have set up v3articles and thumbnails is on , why are all the images appear broken at the bottom of the page? :surprised:

Look through the thread to find out for yourself :)

(Posted Here)

Sorry for the delay on this, guys. Things have been nuts. I'll work up something today and post it so all the fixes are in the same place.

Do what you can. I'm still up to do it once I hit working on the articles section of my site (still months away).

Hi! Help me please!

Forgive for my English. I from Russia and I only started to learn English language.

I have installed "v3 Articles 1.0.1" on my forum. I have a little altered your script. But I have not achieved that result which was necessary for me. I need the following. On the main page v3 Articles there are many sections. I have made so, that under each section the reference to last news was deduced. I should make, so that three references to the last of 3 themes were deduced. As I should make so, that before references to news time of its publication has been written. E.g.: [20:18 | 18.10.04] - " Why not? "

Help to make it. Beforehand I thank you.

P.s. Forgive for my English. I from Russia and only started to learn English language.

My site is: http://www.lectro.ru/forum/article.php

Well, I started writing a bugfix document for this by starting at the beginning of this thread and going all the way through, and most of the problems I see people having are not due to the fault of the script. I won't be recompiling the documentation like I originally thought, but for the newcomers (who probably won't read this post anyway once it drifts back one page), here are the relevant issues:

• No input file specified.
• Red X on the article index when no post icon chosen. Cause: Not using default names for post icons.
• "mysql error number: 1064". Fix - Save VB options as per instructions.
• Wrong article count: No fix yet
• Custom BB codes don't work: Intended
• SQL problem in article.php
• Who's online: Install this hack (or use this)
• Add on: Printable versions of V3Articles
• Searchable articles
• Alphabetically sort articles
• "Last comment by" doesn't link to user profile.
• Thumbnails problem fixed

I think that's about it.

Excellent stuff welo. Thank you for doing this. I'm sure you've saved a lot of people a lot of time, including myself. :D

Xmm, there is a prob - bug, with the moderation of the Articles!!!...Does in your board works well?

And to me will help with my question?

Forgive for my English. I from Russia and I only started to learn English language.

Pardon me but how do I add the image box area in a featured article like shown in your screenshots?

I can't seem to find this.

And my question, ujusta simple error, witht ehr ebeing no Add button displayed, thats all.

Okay I upgraded to vB 3.0.3 today and now the articles page just displays a plain white page. What did I break?

Blank white pages usually means missing templates.

I try installing the article:

When i get to this part. and view the v3 Articles. its blank ( meaning i get no selections) when i click on save it says "NOTHING TO DO"

When i go to the article section and click on an article i get this


what did i do wrong here and how would i go about fixing it?

Wassup guys,

I've edited the admincp files and that worked out.
I've created a new Bot and assigned the User ID in the settings. But I have no idea what to fill out for:

Regex Search & Replace for Titles

and

Regex Search & Replace for Descriptions

search & replace boxes.

Well, I finally found my last issue conflicting between this hack and the VB Journal hack.

In includes/init.php

Journal has this for UserGroup permmisions:

and

Articles has this for UserGroup permmisions:

So, If you go into AdminCp/Usergroup Manager/Edit Usergroup and look for these 2 permissions:

Articles/ Can View Comments

Journal Permissions/ Can View Comments

If you select YES on either one of these it automatically kicks the YES and/or NO radial selection out of the other selection.

Thought I would give a heads up on this for those that may incounter this issue.

I don't have a fix for it, nor do I know why its and issue, (I can assume why) for I am not qualified to know what to do. :D

If anyone else know how to fix the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

The fix is already in the vB Journal thread, and has been for a while.

I have tried my best to install this hack but I still have some problem with the mysql . The install script can not insert setting group and phrase in to my database. I want to insert the mysql of article in to my database manually . Can any one write (convert the install.php) a mysql file for this hack ?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Paul.

Just one of those moments I guess.

Bump.


I am getting e-mails of my cronjob:

Did I type in the wrong URL for cronjob?
