Would anyone here be willing to create some custom modules for GARS for a reasonable fee?

Id like to see an eaxmple of a site running the lite version. PLease post or PM me your urls.

Thanks for this one.
What do i do wrong when i go in to the Types-Article Type
And whant to change the picture and text. When i do this and click on SAVE it just came up a grey site. I haved set the Absolute path to images to 777

I am having trouble posting a new article. I just get a message:

"Please complete both the subject and message fields."

Everything is filled out. It seems to have something to do with the length. If I make a smaller message it will work. The text I have is about 4000 characters, well under the 100k limit for a post that I have set.

Is there another option I need to look at somewhere?

Thanks

Mine, with the install module included. Geek still has to answer a question on the forumhome template, so I can have the proper display instead of links.

I read his forum, appears there's a compatability issue with ECReleases (which does the same thing with the install feature) which may account for a couple bugs.

The article length problem sounds like you have a low character setting in VBOptions. If you have the same problems in a non article post, then check the "Maximum Characters Per Post" under "Message Posting and Editing Options" in the Options

Yea, I checked that. I am able to post the exact same text as a regular post w/o any issues, but when I try to post it as an article it will not submit and I just get the message and some of the form is cleared.

hmm, then maybe it's another hack then. Geek did address the form cleared problem in either this or the install thread, as I had a problem with text not showing up for the checkboxes.
Just the first thing I would look at, as mentioned earlier, there are a couple other hacks that cause problems, or are set wrong in admin. other than check for those, like in the forum manager settings for that board, can't really suggest anything else. When Geek gets back (I think wednesday) maybe he will know.

Are there specific hacks that are known to cause problems? Which ones. I just upgraded to 3.5 so there are really not that many hacks yet. The v3Arcade is about the only big one.

Thanks

ecReleases for one, I believe if you check his forum, there's another one there. Both are popular ones. Reason I mentioned hacks is because I have a couple that are set by board in the forum manager, and I always forget about them and start pulling my hair till I remember. :)

looks good, I'm going to check it out,, thx for sharing a great script

/me clicks install

can i use the vertical postbit legacy style

rather than the horizontal style with this hack ?

and how do i eliminate the picture from the post ?

Hey Geek,

I think the box of 'Template changes' is ticked by mistake since you're saying the script does not require any file or template edits.

P.S. Any advances in producing RTL support issues?

Im getting this error when people try and register now.

I have clicked "install" and will see if I can get it installed, I am not very good at this sort of thing LOL Wish me luck!

I'm trying this, but so far can't really see what it's doing or meant to do. As nearly as I can tell, it simply changes the terminology use for a given forum, such that posts are "Articles" instead of Posts. Oh, and it adds a header image.

What am I missing? I would expect that an "Article" could be associated with another forum category, and would be "featured" there.

So, other than slightly altering the appearance and terminology of the threads/posts within a particular forum, what other features does this have? I have a suspicion that I'm missing the point...

In particular, I don't understand the "feature" settings, such as "Auto-Feature new threads". Feature them where? How? How does a featured article differ from an un-featured article?

Actually, it just take some playing around. The admin is a bit... non-intuitive, to me, but through experimentation, I see how the forum is modified by the modules, and how you can have different modules for forumdisplay and showthread. Also, you have your own replacement templates, so one can customize even further.

I'm liking it. One small glitch... in forumdisplay, the article preview module doesn't float/wrap around the graphic. Thus if I replace the default header image with a banner-sized image, the preview text will be pushed all the way to the right, instead of flowing around the image, or showing underneath.

Which template would I edit to change this?

Also, your copyright statement apparently is missing a semicolon for the copyright entity. My link appears:

Where would this be fixed?

*high fives the geek*

awesome man! any idea when your store is going to be back up? i'm thinking about getting the Pro version so i can use it in multiple forums, and allow users to upload their own header images.

<installed>

I fixed the copyright tag, it's the GARS_powered_by phrase. The copyright entity is missing its terminal semi-colon.

Another question: in forumdisplay, my synopsis is being truncated. Since the synopsis doesn't show when the article is being viewed, the extra text is essentially lost.

I see the "Maximum character count for displaying synopsis in forumdisplay." setting in admincp, however, changing it doesn't appear to have any affect.

How can I force GARS to display the entire synopsis?

i have vb 3.0.x and want to upgrade to 3.5.x but am running v3articles. Is there anyway to import the data from my v3articles database so GARS can be my article management system without losing my data?

I am having the same issues. I have disabled max post size, enabled max post size and set it to 100k characters... nothing seems to work.

It will let me create a new article if i just type a few words in the initial create thread area, then I have to go back and edit the article and put the actual content in.

I have found if I cut and paste any text into the Post New article window it will error out.

If I type the same text into the window it will process fine....

This is a fix to the synopsis issue:

Currently, it is hard-coded to only show the first 250 characters, even though there is an admincp setting to override this.

To fix, open the gars_underscore_class.php file and replace the snip_and_parse function with this version:

You can adjust the hard-coded 240 if you like, though I chose to leave it on my site because I want all synopses to contain the "read more" link.

I've posted this fix at Geek's request.

Is there a way I could possibly show the latest articles on say a navbar that is static within vBulletin? (On all vBulletin enabled pages)

I keep receiving this error..

You did not specify a username for your post.

How can I fix this?
and Yes... I have a user name in that place

thanks

Hey, I installed this weeks ago and its working great! I am just getting around though to asking this question....

My post new article and comment buttons are not working, is there something I can do to fix this? All it shows is a red x in a box.

Other than this, I LOVE this!!! :banana:

they dont supply the buttons as there is many themes for vbulletin.. try google image search for article.gif and comment.gif ;)

Dear Mr Geek,
I'm very sorry to inform you that i must click Uninstall as liked GARS lite so much i went and bought the Full Version :D
So ummm anywhere to click for preimum installs? lol

just 1 little thing, the instructions to upgrade from GARS lite to the full version were not very clear and i got a error when i imported the product (even thou i allowed overwrite), but i just uninstalled GARS lite and installed GARS and away it went... didnt even loose a single article!

I really dont mind paying what i consider a very small amount for what i can see is a great product. Excellent work!

^^^ I upgraded also... and very happy aside from some incompatibility with a few other hacks...

I don't know but some times I get a blank white page for now reason ... this happend after I upgraded... perhaps its another plugin... at anyrate upgrade is recommended

thanks:banana:

I'm having this same problem.

Thats an AEO problem. Paul posted a workaround here-> http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread.php?p=7115#post7115

Damn! - This mod doesn't work with Mod_Rewrite! - what a shame, can this be done? look what happens.. (try clicking post new review)

Can someone walk me through how to do this with this hack/mod
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b330/J33322/I.jpg
There images there lol they just didnt load.

I get a 404 ;)
There should be no reason a mod rewrite wouldnt work, however I know that vbseo built support for additional GARS pages which is really the only thing I can think of that would require extra work.

Entropy: Just rework the gars_threadbit template :)

Please make sure you guys click install if you in fact install it :D

Could you tell me what to rework in there please?

Yeah vrewrite doesn;t work with this mod, but i used a diffrent mod_rewrite and it now works :)

it didnt install!?
i did everything the read me said, and i got no pop up window for configuring it or anything whats goin on?

did you import the product xml? Upload ALL files? Refresh your admincp?

it will be refreshing ur admincp that's confusing you

hi,
i like this hack, but i have a question. Is there any possibility to get categories into the article system? Because I would like to sort them be theme.
