Ok, double checked and got it working now.

So it was the templates then?

Ehh why does it say My Hacks: vBstory 2.0 in you sig but the one on the front page is only version 1.0 am I missing something?

Anyway nice hack might install it tomorrow when I upgrade my boards.

nope, you are not missing anything, i'm just being a twat LOL. i'll change my sig :)

LOL. :D

Sorry about that, I must be blind.

It's a good hack, congrats!

I wouldlike to add one suggetsion to teh above ones: give the abilty to nominate a mod for vbstories. And of course a pm to admin and mods to warn them ;)

When you try to delete a chapter, the reset button doesn't work for me.

Thank you :laugh:

When you say nominate a mod for the story, do you mean a modorator to look after the stories, etc... or what?

and what do you mean the reset button??? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Could I suggest an Automatic Template Installer?:)

For people with multiple template sets, like me, it is a hastle to have to add them all:(

Satan

I would love to include some type of installer, but I have no idea how do go about making one. Anyone know??? I did use vBHackMaker once before, but it don't work propperly :(

Yes, the moderator would have the ability to edit the story and delete bad chapters.

reset: i have some problems to edit chapters. when i want to do it, i can change the text, but i can't delete the chapter hitself. there is a reset option on the edit page, but it has no effect.

I've not added the ability for chapters to be deleted, this should be in a future release. As for the reset button, this is there to reset the forums if you make any changes - just a standard reset button, nothing special.

and mods should already have full access to edit stories, etc... anyway.

ok, thx.

The ability for chapters to be deleted is an important option ofr your hack i guess, because some users would post some craps in order to destroy the story. This is the only way to protect you against it.

Btw my members already love your hack

I'm glad to hear it, do you have a URL I can take a look at??

As for the deleting thing, i'll get that in the next release, when i've got enough time to write it that is.

Is there any way to get a hack like this to end up under a category like a regular forum ?

Right now i have a button on my top menu thats all. It would be neat to be able to add it with the rest of the forums in some way.

Actually, the story page is still hidden to the public, because of the deleting thing, and i want to have a few stories before publishing it. But all of my mods have seen it and they really like it ;)

Croft, I was thinking the same thing not too long ago myself, and it's something that I would like to include as an addon or something, i'll have to look into it.

Azork, well i'm glad you mods like it. I'll start working on an upgrade soon so you can open it to the public.

Hi, great hack.

I followed all the instructions, and did everythinb, but when I try to add a genre via Admin CP, I get the following error:

"One or more of the required fields is missing, please try again."

Any ideas?

TIA.

Are you sure that you are adding all the information needed? not forgetting anything??? I really can't think why you would be getting this error unless you was missing something, but I could be mistaken.

Maybe the next time it happens, you can send me a screenshot of the page just before you hit the submit button or something?

If you get any more problems, please contact me again and i'll send you my MSN:IM address.

Yea, I did everything, but I'll do it all over again, excluding the queries, (ran all 3 too) just in case, and let you know.

Thanks for your help :)

to be honest with you re-installing it is not going to help, if there is a problem it will be within the admin php file and no where else.

It's too late now, but tomorrow we can have a chat on MSN or something and see what we can do about fixing it for you, ok?

Sounds good, I'll PM you :)
Thanks for the help.

Hello:

This is what I did (i got it from someone else :) We use it for photopost, but it should work fine here also.)

1) Create a forum, and make a note of the forumid created.

2) In forumdisplay.php, find:

add this right after:
(Be SURE to change the ??? with the forumid number you noted above.)
And.. the customary screen shot:

hth ... cheers ...

Hey ND, How ya Doing ! :)

Man thats HOT stuff. It worked =) Thank you SO MUCH bitbender =)

That looks cool, nice tip for anyone wanting to link to the story, i personally would not use this myself, but then that just me LOL :)

Just found this add-on.... It's another 'must-have' for my forums. There are a number of members on the forums who love creative writing and roleplaying... this will kill them with joy (oooh, savour that body count... mwah ha ha, er, wait, did I just say that outloud?)

I'm glad that you like it, i'm planning an upgrade for it at some point soon, i just need to find the time to do it :)

EDIT: out of interest, can you send me a link once it's up please? thanx

Hi guys and gals, can anyone that is running this hack please come and post a url to it please? I'm working on some upgrades for it, but b4 i do i want to see it running on a few of your sites.

cheers all

Just installed it yesterday and all works well. :cool: . Here is the url www.jitway.com/forums/vbstory.php

I've just installed it - but I haven't added any stories in yet ...

http://www.mobileforces.org/forums/vbstory.php

But I can see this is gonna be amazing for Clan Match Reports, Game Reports and Game-related Fiction - could be AWESOME!

Thanks for the hack - very much appreciated!

It looks good, fit your site well :)

I don't know if you are interested or not, but as you run a games site, you might want to have a look at this: http://savepoint.co.uk/webmaster.php - it's something I set up a few days ago and will put the content from my site onto yours :)

take a look :)

Just wanted to let you know that I installed it as well, I'm liking it so far, but some of my users have asked if it were possible to just maybe add a sentence or two at a time instead of an entire paragraph. Some of them are lazy and don't like writing that much. :)

Anyway, here's the link:

http://www.expectedmiracles.com/forums/vbstory.php

Thanks for a great hack!

I don't see any reason why they can't post just one or two lines, unless you are looking for something that will fit onto one page?

Just because you have the ability to post paragraphs, you don't need to use it :)

what about the new version?

That was probably the most templates I ever manually created, but it was well worth it. I followed your 8 easy steps, and it went without a hitch. Thanks Daniel!

No stories yet, but here's my link:

http://www.ashkins.net/forum/vbstory.php

Azork - I know that Ive been promacing a new verson for a long time now, but i've just rediscovered the joys of MMORPG games and have been doing nothing more than playing them all the time (LOL). Soon (maybe) I promice, soon. :)

Brahm - Looking good.

Thanks! Very cool hack ^__^

i'll install this hack...

great hack....would u please improve so users can place comment below those stories content? this would be great...thanks

Looking good Moyses (as always, it can be hard getting the story populated, but once it is, it looks after itself :))

- LangTuDaTinh (long name - hehe) that's a very good idea - although personally i would make comments on a seperate page (but a seperate comments section for each chapter - provided I ever get arround to updating the script :()

I understand that pretty well Ninth Dimension ;) I think that i can delete chapters in the database.

btw the interactive story is public now on my forum. you can see them as a sub-forum of "Community"
