This is a very nice program. A few things before I buy. I'm going to send you a PM.

I want to get the paid version
One question: Since this is not using vb tables, what happens if you drop this project? How will I be able to continue my site? How will I transfer this data to a new vb system?
I just want to assure continuity since I am making a site strictly based on articles

All my modules use seperate tables but to keep some compatibility all tables have the same prefix as your vb installation.
So you can easily backup and restore them among all other vb's tables.

How and where can I download the 3.5.x version on your site? Do you have to register in your site to purchase the paid version? Also when making the purchase is there are choice between the 3.5.x and 3.6.x version?

I am lovin this mod and was curious if there was a way to add to this mod a feature that the admin can turn on/off to email or PM defined staff members when a new article has been submited only if article moderation is enabled. Also when its aproved the article poster gets a pm/email that its been approved? Any thoughts...

Also I want to purchase the FULL version for my 3.5.x site because I want to use the vidio,audio features. Where on your site is the 3.5.x version....

Also ive noticed a block callled Newest Author on the right side on my articles screen that just wont go away and never gets updated.. Whats that? is that bug?

Is there a reason why this block never get updated ?

Hello my friends,

I just released version 1.5.5 of vbarticles with the following additions:

• I used a different query to show Newest Author, so now someone will be always appear there.
• I added article's thumb in category listing
• I added a new switch to admin, so he can now setup if unregistered or not logon users can see the body article or not. This is a good way to drive visitors to become memebrs.
• In full article view, the title in browser now shows the article's title for search engines.

Sorry, but I had in mind to add another feature in editor, to allow insertion of smilies, but finally it's author didn't gave me permission to add this feature in the free version.

To upgrade to latest version, just upload vbarticles.php and reimport product-vbarticles.xml

Cheers

Hello! :)

I just installed vbarticles on my forum, and looking to maybe purchase the full version, but i have a few (newbie) questions..

1: How can i translate the language/text of vbarticles ?
2: How can i add/delete/manage categories?

Thank you for a great piece of software! :)

Petter

Hello Petter,

There are 2 ways to translate a language file:

1. From your admincp->Languages & Phrases->Phrase Manager->vbArticles
2. Translating directly the product-vbarticles.xml and re-importing it.

In which language do you want it to translate? As I know there is already German, Dutch, Francais, Spanish, even Vietnamese.

You can manage categories from your admincp->vbArticles->Manage categories

Hello! :)

Thank you for a quick reply! I was to eager to start testing the product, so i bought the full version from your site (username: Petter ).

Im going to translate this version to Norwegian. I can email you the translated version if you want to after im finished :)

Im unable to find the "Manage Categories" in the free version. Im going to install the full version in a few minutes and see if i can find this menu in the full version. I got the admincp->vbarticles menu, but can only find general settings in this page.
