Thank you very much. Everything appears to be working very well!

All appears fine now, thanks for checking into it :)

Any help with my problem, banana?

Find in articles.php
Before add
where 100 is preview length you want.

Just add image at top of template af_articlebit and remove the following code:

That's exactly what it was. Problem solved, mod works great! Thanks!

Okay, so the issue appears to be with IE. I can not replicate the error with FF.

Is their anyway to get this working without the redirect to articles.php? I.e. clicking on the forum goes straight there

You can put a link to articles.php in the forum manager, that would take you straight then without redirecting :)

I have a different question. Is there any way to change the articles.php title without the vbphrase? So I can have the breadcrumbs eg. Reviews and my mainpage title separated.

This is really important to me as I'm using this for the main page (changed it to index.php) and it's kinda stupid having Reviews written up there instead of my websites title.

Any help greatly appreaciated :)

I'd also like to know this as I want to use it for the home page to.



Great mod.

Also is there anyway to get this to work with multiple forums not in the same heirachy?

Adding that line in articles.php just kills the images on the articles page and doesn't modify the preview. If I have BB code off, the preview stays full (still) and the images are not shown, but if I put BB code on the preview still stays full but the images are then broken (red x's).

Okay, now it doesn't work with anything :D

Do not discount my own ability to mess things up :eek:

for some reason I when I check the options in the admincp for showing the create new article, search article, display options, etc, they don't save. I hit save, but when I revisit the articles section the checks are now unchecked. Any ideas?

Still looking for some assistance to correct the encoding issue.

can you make a 3.8.x version for us ? please...

my mistake, i replied wrong thread...

Any support for the issue I am having?

I'm using this article hack. I would like to have a hack that is for classifieds that is pretty much just like this article hack. Is it possible to get this as a classified hack where I can have both installed on my site?

To get rid of the 'redirecting..' message. (if you have vBSEO)

Add this custom rewrite to the custom rewrites section in your vbseocp

Where 25 = the forum ID
Where articles-media/ = the vbseo url of the forum category you want to rewrite.

Result: http://www.modernconspiracy.com/articles-media/

You are an absolute legend!!!! Awesome. Been trying to fix that for ages!

Do you know how to get this mod working for multiple forums in different category heirachies?

Thank you for a great mod. We are experimenting with setting up a magazine kinda thing with this. I just had one question (I'm not a coder) but where can I change the word "Article" that comes up in the navbar when you select that option?
Also, I'd like the sort of the page that lists all the articles when you enter the area, to auto sort by first article entered, kinda like a Table of Contents. I'm not sure how to make this a permanent sort, if possible. Appreciate the hard work, really like the format.

Thank you!

Can anyone help me figure out this encoding error? The mod author does not appear responsive lately. This issue only came about when I upgraded recently when a new version of the mod was released.

The URL of my issue can be found here: http://www.loremaster.org/articles.php

To change the word Article you just need to change the phrase.

Login to your admincp & scroll down to you see "Search In Phrases" click on it. In the top block put the word article in it and then in the drop down see if the article mod is listed if not tick the 3rd button down that states something to the effect of search in both areas. Then click the search/ok button. Then you will see the phrases that contain the word Article. Change the word article to whatever word you want and click save for each one. As for the second part, I have no idea. There are some settings for this mod in the admin panel, you may want to look at your vbulletin options to see about making changes in the mod.

What encoding error? I do not see an error on the page other than the articles column is pretty small.

All of my users including myself are seeing this error. I have cleared out cache and cannot figure out what is causing it. I am getting it on both IE and FF. I can see it the first time but then the encoding error comes up. I would have to keep clearing cache.

Maybe this is an issue with the redirect I am seeing?

Sorry I maybe able to help you but I need to know what the error is. I do not see an error in firefox or IE, I've attached what I see. There is no error warning or anything out of the ordinary that i see so you'll have to be more specific than its an encoding error. I've attached screenshots.

I'll try to get the IE one up but here is the Firefox version. My users are having the same error. This error occurs only when going to http://www.loremaster.org/articles.php

They can still view the individual articles, just not the link I provided above. Which is problematic when they are trying to locate older articles.

When did it start to do this? Was it after you installed a new hack or mod t the forum or did you make any template changes right before it went nuts on you. Do you have other hacks installed? If so there maybe a conflict with one of the other hacks. It could be any number of things really that would cause this sort of error.

Also i'm guessing it only happens when you are a member & logged in because I can see the articles just fine as a guest not logged in. I can navigate the area, read the articles etc and I get no error like that. So this is somehow tied to being logged in as well. Is there a hack that you've installed that might affect logging in or registration etc.

It was recently right after I updated it to the new Articles version.

And yes, it appears to strictly be when someone is logged in; thanks for pointing that out. I can see it perfectly fine when I am logged out.

Hmmmm ok well you maybe have to revert it back to the old version if you still have it. Do you still have a copy of the older version somewhere? If it worked before the upgrade then there is no reason why it should not work after putting it back to the last version you used. There maybe no other fix until the developer fixes it.

I don't have the old version :(

Have you tried to upload all the new files again and make sure that you overwrite the files and then install the product again overwriting the one you just installed? Sometimes it works. I've also installed the recent articles hack myself and I can view it logged in. So maybe there is something else wrong here like a current hack is not playing nice with the updated articles version. Something else you can try is disable each hack one by one and see if you still get the error. If you don't then you know the hack you just disabled is conflicting with this new version of the article hack. If you find the hack that is causing a problem try upgrading it to the latest version with all the hacks enabled. Then see if you still have the prob with the articles if so, you may want to temp or perm disable that particular hack or try adn find a hack that is similar to it and install it instead.

Edit: I also noticed that this hack is not compatible with vb 3.7. Are you running 3.7? If so yo may want to upgrade to 3.8. I'm using ti with 3.8.3 with no probs.

3.8 is what I am on. It must be another hack that is messing with it; I just have no clue which one :( This problem only arose when I upgraded to the last version (1.9?)

EDIT: Working for now. I will inform if the encoding error comes back.

How can I get rid of the redirection message? Thank you :)

There are a number of issues preventing this from happening atm.

Change the phrase 'article'

Or if you only want to change the text in navbar edit plugin 'Links' and replace $vbphrase[articles] with your preferred text

Use direct link to articles.php rather than forum

Or find in Plugin 'Article Forum'
and replace with:
