That's intended.

Randall Rath, I'll be making those changes in tomorrow's revision. :)

Would you like me to send you the revisions I've already made? It might save you some time and effort.

John , does it support multiple pages articles ?

Installing it now on localhost :)

Cheers

Mone'

i followed the instructions

Can I have the Articles sort alphabeticaly instead of as summitted. Looking through the code, but wanted to get a post started here.

Thanks for this hack, I know I as well as others really needed it.

"Location" in Who's online shows:

Unknown Location
/forum/article.php?

you got a button set with the looks of the 'new article' button?

would be awsome :)

HI

The install was pretty easy however I can getting this error when I click on the link to go to the articles page. I am logging in as a admin and the usergroup is set up

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation

John,

I found a small error. Everything is running fine except that the articles are not counting properly. I installed and followed the instructions to a T and had no errors.

I created a top level cat then a subcat and then another sub cat then posted an article. The article shows up fine but the homepage still says 0 articles.

Everything else works like a charm, thanks again for all the work!

I got that error, then finally finished reading the directions. After you follow through with the install instructions you'll be all set. I pasted the part of the install you need to do, they are a must.

OTHER INSTRUCTIONS
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

2. Log into the Admin Control Panel.
Expand "vBulletin Options", and click on the "vBulletin Options" link.
Scroll to the bottom, click v3 Articles - click "Edit Settings".
Click on "Save".

Expand "Usergroups" on the left. Click "Usergroup Manager".
Edit the settings for any usergroup, and click "Update".

My installed went thru perfectly, but I have a problem with the templates! I can't see any of the image buttons for posting new articles! And all the catagories are allowing articles to be posted too...

Also, I'd love to be able to move posts from one of the forums in to the articles section, that'd actually be really handy. :)

Poor John, he introduces an awesome hack and within minutes, he is bombed with questions after questions. :D
Will install this this weekend. Sweet job John.

Thanks

It worked perfect

if john dose not mind, i have moded his templates just a little to my liking

if you use or like the postbit_legacy and want your article page to look like it.
here is some thing i did for my site and here is an example of what i am talking about http://www.monstergamer.net/vb/article.php?a=2

very nice :)

monstergamer what do you use for your review/cheat section ?
Looks so good on your website

Nice.

Can we use the "Article" hack outside of the /forum/ directory?
EXAMPLE: www.vbulletin.org/forum/articles.php? --> www.vbulletin.org/articles.php?

here is where i got it from, http://www.vortexportal.net/forum/download.php

i did alot of custom work on this mod, and he never got back to me about releasin what i have done

that mod is OK, but not all that, i am going to use the VB article to do my reviews
hopfully i can add more to it :D

thx :)

Nice one, really usefull.

Ok I followed the instructions to the end but I still can not access the article.php file.

i have installed, it works great so far.

Just one question:
Does the system support unlimited category?

Mate please read post #73

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....7&postcount=73

No, you can't edit captions yet. I considered it, not really an urgent feature at the moment.

Regarding the other problem, I've fixed it for my next release - expect the update today.

thanks so much, hack of the year!

John,

I am still having a problem with the articles not counting on the index-

http://www.trackpads.com/forum/article.php

Thanks,

-Jason

Just upgraded by overwriting all the files, now I just get a blank white page when clicking the link on the navbar from anywhere.

Hummm...I reuploaded article.php 3 times, each time smartFTP asked me to confirm overwrite which I did, then checked the page and it was white...finally after double checking everything else, I went to upload old article.php and it said the one on the server was 0 bytes..so I went back and reuploaded the new article.php for a fourth time and this time it worked!!

Damn! I have to ask myself in a sarcastic tone: "Use a pc much pal?" :)


John, I'd like to add your a copyright footer for you with your icon like the arcade...can you tell me where to place the code?

Edit 2: I got it..for those with the arcade, go into your articles template and find $articlecontent, right below it paste:

Nice job. I know I'll use it.

Is there anyway to remove an article from being featured without deleting the article?

Also is there anyway to set permissions on each category, or will that be considered for a feature in later releases?

just over right it with a new one u want featured or i think there is an acp option to disable ...

Is it possible for me to show just the featured article box on another vb page? Or on vbadvanced?

Thanks man! :)


Here are a few suggestions for later releases... I'm sure everyone can find a good use for all of them:

1. Printable Version for Articles
2. Send Article to Friend
3. New Articles Shown in Bold
4. Permissions per Category
5. Ability to Specify Moderation per Usergroup
6. Article Moderators per Category
7. Ability to Move Articles to Different Categories
8. Latest X Articles on Forum Home
9. Featured Article on Forum Home
10. Integrated with vBulletin Search
11. Listing in Who's Online
    • Viewing Article
    • Article Title (with link to specific article)

Howdy John, Great work on the update but there is still one small SQL problem in the forum's article.php file,
should be
That's line 660 in my editor.

By the way, this is a great system, I'm popping over to your site to drop you a *little* something.

/me kicks install

Wow!!

I've been waiting for this for a while! Awesome job!

Easy install. No problems!
Thanks, John.
/me clicks install, visits Paypal next.
