Hello,

For those of you who post problem with loosing paragraphs etc, I made a search at vbulletin.com forums and I found a thread about it.

Seems that copy+paste dosen't works all the times with the editor. As the support staff there is suggesting is better to paste the text firstly to notepad and then re copy and paste it to your article.

That user (who hasn't problem with other copy+paste in the same installation) followed the advice and worked.

Please try this methond and let me know. Of course I'll continue searching for it.

Hi Maria

I actually tried just typing in an article and my page breaks still disappeared.

Could you please PM me the link of your installation plus (if possible) a demo account for login?

ALso having the same problem. Even though first copying it on notepad and then on the forum. There is something wrong with the code. Please help.

Help me to be able to help:) Could you please come to my demo at:
http://www.madebymary.com/forums/vbarticles.php
and try to post exactly the same article on the same way?
Firstly I want to be sure that it's not a problem in Lite version only.

thank's i will test it

wowwwwwww to good to be true no investigation :)

clicked install and nominated for mod of the month as it should be


Can someone give some help on putting it together to work with vbacmps too so that the module Articles by Category to be shown into the centre of vbacmps

many thanks in advance

Great mod.
But how can i put a images before the text in the side
vbarticles.php?do=category&categoryid=1

I would be great to have a thumbnail behind the text

Hi, thnx for response but i dnt really see the Edit article options anywhere, not even in ACP nor frontend nor any submitted article. Only place i can edit is My Articles > Edit article. All permissions are double checked. Any suggestions.?

The problem is, that even if it isn't a copy/paste, but just created using the editor, the formatting still disappears.

Thanks, have sent you details.

1. not showing author images

2. can you allow more images to be uploaded per article?

Hi,

when I delete article with a photo I see this error message:

vbarticles.php no permissions line 1978 and line 1979

but the images folders is 777.

The Admin Usergroup can't edit articles?

Very fast growing modification!

Nice, that might be exactly what i was waiting for. I really need an article system that will be used as wiki / HowTo Replacement for our community site, this might really be the right solution for this.

I think i should really be buying the full version, but there are some open issues before this. What i really need is that it's possible to add images to an article, for example a installation tutorial with stepbystep photos of the procedure. I know it's possible vie the img tag, but do you think a integration into the editor would be possible?

Second is that it should be possible for a special usergroup that will maintain the article system to edit posts e.g. when there are spelling errors or something like this.

Third, a email notify about new posted articles to this group would be nice, to have articles approved asap.

What do you think about my thoughts?

Thanks for your help, i really hope that this will be the mod we have been waiting for so long time. :-)

first of all thank you for the great hack, but i don't think you answered my question... i would like to display a list of a user's articles on their profile. how do i go about that?

Thnaks maria clicked installed,

how can I add categories?

Here you can add a description for this category. how do i edit category desription?

In the ACP can you add category?s and the descriptions

For those who had problem with unformatting paragraphs, I think that I resolved the issue. Just look at your editor and make sure that the "Switch Editor Mode" (right top side) is there. It must be there and activated (as it's here in vBorg).

Also for those who want to make the editor area bigger, let open vbarticles.php and search for 'qr' . It is in 2 places. Then replace 'qr' with 'fe' .

Cheers
Maria

With all of the potential bugs, and the suggestions, are there plans to update thss awesome MOD any time soon? Like CCux, I plan on purchasing the full version but would like to see some of the kinks worked out first. I have installed the free version to keep my palate wet.

The "Switch Editor Mode" isnt available to me when writing the articles like it is for posts.

anyway to restrict the size of the user's profilepix their? because some of my users have profile pix as big as 500 pixels in width.

in the admincp when i click on editor choice i get a blank screen.

in manage articles it doesn't show any of the articles posted.

Profilepix 500 pixels???? Are you sure that is a pic and not their real head?? :D
Yes, it possible buts as it's 21:00pm in Greece now, let me go rest myself and I'll post it tomorrow morning.

have you tried to change 'qr' with 'fe' as I wrote before?

Yes that works now thank you

Could I interest someone in installing this for me and what would that cost?

webmaster@pastorssource.org

i understand and thank you very much, you're a real sweetheart.

Great thanks, is there a setting somewhere, where my users dont have to click it each time and it is by default activated? Thank you.

Can you give me an example (eg with a screenshoot) on what exactly you want to do?

Believe me, it's not difficult to install it, but if its a problem for you email me access details in your adminCP and FTP details for your site. Costs nothing.

Maria

I think that this must be set from your original vB installation. For me it's activating by default.

Maria

very good, I'm gonna purchase paid version, I hate dealing with lite versions :) and search is important :)

also, is it fully phrased? I'd like to mod it to an free essay database, wondering if its gonna be hard to change tittles 'articles' - to - 'essays' or something.

thx

@sandroz
Changing this can be done easy, Maria already explained this in one of her forums.

@MicroHellas
Anything about my questions some posts before?

I've updated the zipfile. Just upload vbarticles.php Now the width will be 80px and height proposional.

Everything is phrase based and no word exist hard coded. Especially for the "title" i went one step ahead and I added a phrase vbarticles_navbar just for the navbar.

Still trying to find your questions:eek: In which page they are? I lost my mind here.:cool:

To be honest I used the internal editor just to avoid complains from users. I had in my mind a more featured rich editor with which you can add more photos in the body, setup up them by resizing, speciying placenemt etc, even adding caption on a photo. Still haven't droped this idea.

Negative and I'll never let editing the body article by anybody. That's illegal. Nobody can change a text (so the meaning too) of a post which has a signature of another person. As admin you can only edit the category in case that is posted in wrong category, or you can reject the article if you dont agree with it.


Current version sends email to admin for this reason. It's easy to extend this function.
