MOTM candidate. Easily!

... and Thank You!

Does this work with gold?

Just what I need. :) Looking forward to further development of this mod. Would like to see the article displaying the original post as well. That way when a member updates their post it will be reflected in the article as well.

ive had no issues with gold so far; if you had this installed when you upgraded, you may need to upload the hooks_ file attached again as the vb upgrade will have over written it

Hi Carnage!

It's so strange that this isn't a default option in vBulletin. My question is if step 1 and 2 are still needed with the gold release? If not, you might wanna update your first post.

Another question is if you can tell me how the development is going for this mod? Will there be some improvements soon and worth the waiting? It's always nice to be kept up-to-date.

I thank you for the time. All that's left to is that this is a great and must-have mod! Only reason why I don't just install it is because it's still in beta stage and since my vBulletin knowledge is pretty limited, I need fully tested products hehe. That's why I leave this reply. I hope you understand.

Keep up the good work!

Yes, unfortunatly, steps 1 and 2 are required with gold. The bug is listed as fixed for 4.0.1

There aren't likely to be more features. Its a very simple mod, it does exactly what its meant to, nothing more. If people find bugs, i'll fix them, if vb updates break this mod, i'll get it working again. Other than that, i can't see much development thats needed.

I think all of my mods are in beta stage; generally, my mods are used on my own sites, i release them as betas as I've no idea how they'll act in the wild... I'd say my betas are probably as good as most mods on the site; they may never leave beta if i don't get enough feedback on how well the work (as a comparison, most of googles apps are in beta, gmail was in beta for 5 years)

This really should be a default feature of vBulletin 4 - I suggested it months ago, grrrr!

Thanks for the quick and detailed reply Carnage! Always fantastic to see such quality support...

I hope you don't mind that I ask a couple more things? I'm still a bit unclear how this mod actually works. Let me start by telling what my favorite method would be (within the possibilities of the CMS of course / hopefully). I would like to add articles on the CMS and promote threads on the Forum as an article. From what I know, the only possibility to have comments enabled in the CMS is to select 1 single section where the forum thread should be created. This is for me not very handy since I have many different sections and can't have all discussions placed in one single forum section. For that, I did have a solution. If possible, I want to select a section which isn't viewable on the Forum and isn't open for new posts (so only threads by staff members). This will keep the comments on the CMS and only one article. Perfect for the news articles.

But we have a lot of members who posts quality articles on the Forum so I need to use the "Promote to Article" button as well. Is this where your mod comes in action? And is it possible to combine this mod with the things I told above?

I hope you get my situations and I would love to hear from you if and how this mod can help me.

Thanks again for your time and sorry if I'm bothering you with all my questions.

i'm not 100% sure i've followed what you are trying to do but here is what this mod will do:

1. If you create an article in the cms, the comment thread will appear in the cms comments forum as defined in vb options.

2. If you promote a blog post, there will be a comments thread created in the cms comments forum.

3. If you promote a Forum post the thread that that post comes from will be used for the comments.

-----------

If you want multiple forums to contain the posts from articles; heres how you can do it with this mod.

1. Instead of creating a new cms article Create a forum post in the forum you wish to use for comments for that article.
2. Promote the post to an article.
3. The thread you created will be used for comments.

This should definately be part of vbulletin gold. TSK TSK
