I installed it, and went straight to the options to pick which forums/boards i wanted it to be applied to.

I changed it from what it was defaulted to, to a board in the staff only section.

Immediately, whenever i tried to open a thread in the boards that used to have the article system, it wouldn't open the thread. (see second picture in attachment.)

Also, across the top of every page there is an error message. (First picture in attachment.)

I realize this is a 3.8 mod, but i just thought I'd let you know what happened when I installed it on a 3.7 board.

Suggestion: An enable/disable option in ACP option.

Latest version has showthread error fixed.

bananalive,

i have the same situation as Sweeks, vb 3.8.2, it shows an empty box.

p.s. downloaded the latest version, still no go with article/comment postbits. default postbit is shown regardless of the settings.

bananalive,

another suggestion: can you add an option to change article author and post date? i have an old forum on phpbb that uses mx_kb mod for knowledge base articles and i would want to move all the stuff from there to the new vbulletin-based forum. i don't want to appear as the only article contributor though. :)

When using vBa within forums as I do, you get a double navbar? Any ideas?

What forum structure are you trying to use for Articles Forum?

Sweeks

04-19-2009 07:26 PM

It is a forum not a category which has denied all permissions subforums under it which arent used and that is all :) It has around 100 threads in it too. Its set to act as forum and all the regular setup.

Sorted now, had to comment out the navbar in articles.php

Sweeks

04-19-2009 07:36 PM

Is there any way so I can have the articles display within a normal looking forumdisplay and then on the showthread keep the article layout etc? Im not too keen on the main articles.php page.

Thanks

disable forumdisplay plugins:

Article Forum (forumdisplay_complete)

Edit Show Thread (showthread_complete)

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($articleforum)
{
eval('$SHOWTHREAD = "' . fetch_template('SHOWTHREAD') . '";');
$SHOWTHREAD = str_replace($vbphrase[thread], $vbphrase[article], $SHOWTHREAD);
$SHOWTHREAD = str_replace("newthread.gif","newarticle.gif", $SHOWTHREAD);
print_output($SHOWTHREAD);
}

Thank you I prefer it like this now :) Much simpler too. I gather it is fine to delete articles.php too?

nope, this puts back navbar in article.php and double navbar in the showthresd article.

Commenting out lines 36 & 376 in articles.php will take out the double navbar in articles.php but not the showthread.

yep, I was getting the double navbar thing too. Might wanna take that out of articles.php

Nice idea :)

Unfortunately i got the ones of vbmary and it still works fine with vb 3.8 version so i dont intend on changing but might use this mode for other purposes.

Another GREAT mod Banana !!!

We LOVE it, Installed and Marked for MOTM

Just a couple of issues.

When we go back to edit a article, the editor window extends over the postbit, and looks kinda crappy. ( I can live with that )

Can we reduce postbit to just Username and avatar, and perhaps a link underneath with the amount of Articles they have created. Their rating etc.

Cheers Big Ears

Looks like an awesome addon! I'll keep an eye on this and install it later. Gratz! Keep up the great work! Nominated for MOTM.

I noticed that the breadcrumbs are wrong in a forum with this enabled. Can anyone verify?

TimberFloorAu

04-20-2009 07:11 AM

Yes Sole they are incorrect.

ours should be

forum>news>articles

instead we get

forum>articles>news

____________________________

+ we dont get displayed :
most read articles
most commented articles

+ we cannot see how to add categories, as per Bananas Demo.

Attached file should fix issue with parent forums not showing in navbar for article forum which are sub-forums

The double navbar is caused by vba cmps

To have categories create sub-forums

I'm still not sure why 'most read articles', etc are blank for some of you, it might be due to special characters in one of the thread title though?

I have a problem when editing an article, the editor will stretch over the avatar part on the right and look awful. Any ideas on how to fix?

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Quick fix is to disable ajax edit for first post

Delete in template: af_firstpost

HTML Code:

name="vB::QuickEdit::$post[postid]"
