Thanks dizzy for typing that all out!

1. This is why I asked.

2. Unfortunately I will have to wait until it has some functionality OR goes commercial if it does what it's looking like it promises. I had two Moderators play with it without saying anything and they asked for me to pull it also. One of them said that it is a lot cooler than vbadvanced news functions ability. It has great potential for a front page add on or just for the front page but they don't wish to play with it.

That's the problem to trust, without to check. The agreement that I did is that only those 3 functions (Audio, Video, YouTUBE) should not work. Except if I did any mistake in cofiguration (file vbnews/includes/editor_new.inc.php and ediror_edit.inc.php). But strange as I copied the full directory from my other mod (vbArticles) which has nearly 200 installations and nobody reported something like this.

I'll check it tomorrow (in around 12 hours) and I'll be back. For sure, even if it's my misconfiguration or authors mistake, I'll deliver the editor with all available features except those 3. I'm always keeping my word, and I don't plan to become redicolous in my 50th of age.

Do I look like so rich to spend my money around without any special reason:confused: Hopefully not;) I asked vB.com if I can include vbEditor in my commercial mods without breaking the licence and they replied me "No, you can't". And please don't say me "why others do it?". It's their problem. I want to be legal, I asked and when I got the negative reply, I tried to find something else.

Hey, hi again

im still gettin the css issue :(
i have vbnews.php in forum root so, i dont understand whats wrong :(

by the way, i have completed the translation to spanish if anyone wants just download.

re upload and require overwrite.


Cheers,
Matias

Can anybody give me a URL of vbnews (the free one) installation to check the editor?

Css issue in editor's buttons or in vbstyle?... If it's 2nd, check your paths. It has fixed and checked that works in any combination.
If you can't fix it alone, PM FTP details to check them.

I would. you needs some articles (content) to increase your traffic.

MicroH.

Spelling error on your forums.

vBulletin Modules
Commercial Mayor additions to vBulletin.

I am assuming you are not running for Mayor of vBulletin. I don't even know the zipcode for vBulletin.

Where?:rolleyes: I've corrected to Major, like here, but seems that I left behind something unchanged??:D

Right on the Forum homepage.

css issus on vbstyle...
all the font color turned white :S
and some other styles dont work...

in the source i see the css stylesheet link, but for any reason donde work property...

i dont have a link cuz my board is closed for theme update, maybe i can provide some screens

I just added this mod and I can't get any of the articles to show up under
Important News or Editor's Choice. I checked all three boxes on the article for breaking, frontpage and editor's choice but nothing shows up. Anyone know what the issue is??

Installed, only issue here is the buttons on the editor isn't working the majority of the buttons say disabled in the free version.

By default all articles to be displaying must approved. Have you approved the articles?

You didn't setup correctly the paths and/or ulrs. This was a known bug in 1.0.0 version when the vbstyle is saved in the webspace and not in the database. But has fixed in this version. So, just double check that you've setup correct the paths at: vbnews.php

What about a fix for the editor?

Still waiting a responce to my request (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=45), for a link to any installation to check the editor. Unfortunatelly I can't install the free version in my site as it will make conflists with my other installations.

Don't you have a testing ground? ;)

No, I've installed as demo and as testing for me the commercial version.

Check your PM!

ROFLMAO! I'm sorry, I thought you where joking. How can you tweak a product thats in Beta if you don't have a functioning copy? I am PMing you the info so you may see for yourself.

Simple, the product is not actual in Beta. It's already tested in commercial version. But as the free version is a reducted version, I placed "Beta" to have peace of my mind:D

Well, I apologize for the troubles on restrictions with HTML Editor, but I used in my life to trust what people are saying. When I did a deal with it's Author asking from him a special version to include in my Free mods, with only 3 restrictions, when he accepted it and delivered it to me, I didn't found a must to check it.

In any case I'll replace in 48h the Editor, with the same one but with the features that I promised enabled, or with another one, most probably TinyMCE.

Maria

OK, That makes sense, I will wait for the fix then reinstall :-)

MMM thats weird as most use it. Its a module for vbulletin so how is that breaking their copyright by using their inbuilt editor ? Unless you wanted to modify their editor of course, which is entirely different.

It can't be used outside of vbulletin and integrates entirely and solely within vbulletin. Vbgeek uses the editor for instance and his stuff is entirely commercial.

I for one wish it would employ the vbulletin editor, you could have access to the bbcode that is sorely lacking in this products editor. The commercial editor handles html nicely enough but there is no way to block average joe from using html. Unless you block the entire user group from posting articles at all. A rather large security risk and setting the articles to force moderation is simply not practical with a large number of members.

thanks mary we waiting vbDigiShop mod :)

Well, here are the details of Ticket: 594682 which I post at: Feb 08th '07 05:50am

Hello,
I want to know if using vb's internal editor in a commercial product for vBulletin (later I clarified that is an addon module), I'm breaking any rule of the licence.
Thanks

Hello Maria,
Thank you for contacting vBulletin Support.
I am sorry but we can not allow for commercial re-use of our code-base.
All the best,
Marco van Herwaarden
Support Team, vBulletin

So, no comments from my side. And if VbGeek or anybody esle is using it, it's up to them.

I think you need to clarify this openly in the vbulletin forums.

They may be under the assumption you are trying to do a fork or using the code for other projects as i really can't see why, using hooks, you couldn't use an editor that is already an intregal part of the system. Its the very reason hooks were created in the first place.

Your idea of using TinyMCE is a good one as its free and extensible, but i still would prefer to use the built in editor that comes with vbulletin. This editor is one of the many reasons i chose vb in the first place and using a third party to get the same job done is, in my book, a non starter.

This all sounds ungrateful mary and i assure you this isn't the case. Your mods are refreshing and new and fill a much needed gap. I like quite a few of them but will not purchase until a standard is set. To be honest with you, the editor your using now is just plain ugly and confusing for most of my members. Sure it will get the job done but sometimes approaching it from a different direction isn't what is required.

I'm sorry this third party has let you down with the editor but you've learned a lesson here that trusting people can only go so far. Also you really need to test both the free and commercial versions offline and keep both sets running so as to address issues reported like this. You can install apache pretty easy these days and most admins on here have a local copy of their system for testing mods etc.

Anyway i hope you can seek further clarity on using the vbulletin editor as i am very interested in some of your mods and would give them much further consideration if they could use a standard.

Good luck and keep them coming :)

One to consider BTW is a youtube type mod that allows you to locally show your videos with the option for members to upload their own.

Well I think you should push the issue with the vbulletin team. This mod would do much better with the built in editor that all of us have already purchased the rights to use in the first place. You're not selling their editor, you're simply making calls to it.

Hi, I'm getting this error at the top of my vbnews.php page

Maybe this is noticed before but i want to know if this can be used as your index page, such as vbadvance CMPS. The vbnews opens in this situation as: site.org and the forum as site.org/forum :)

You've setup wrong the paths and/or URLs at the begining of the file, so when the script tries to cd (change directory), can't find it and returns this message. Please double check the settings.

Yes, it can be also used as index page, just don't forget:

1. To rename the file itself
2. To setup the new filename (index.php) inside vbnews.php

Awesome! Click install :)

Mary how is it coming on the new editor?

As I promised, I just released (even with the same version number), the new editor. What the new editor does NOT supports:

1. Upload Flash
2. Upload Audio
3. Upload Video
4. Insertion of YouTube object code

Image upload is supporting but only from URL and not from local.

Installation

1. Download zip file
2. Upload full directory /vbnews/editor
3. Upload file vbnews/includes/editor_new.inc.php
4. Upload file vbnews/includes/editor_edit.inc.php

The last 2 files have been modified to not show the buttons that are not active in Free version, to avoid that ugly "Not enabled in Free version". Please note that by turning them on, the only that you'll get is a popup with a 404 Page not found error.

Thank you Maria!

I am having a blast customizing this mod. I can't wait to release it to my users.

does this update work for the purchased version too??

No, why? Paid version has none such restrictions.
