I've got no idea why it isn't working. My only suggestion would be to disable all the plugin which run on the showthread pages, it will still function properly but the postbits won't be altered.

Rate Article is an option in one of the dropdowns.

That is very a forum-specific rating system

Disable Links plugin

I'll add more options in next release.

Works great for me so thanks.

Question - How do I get the photos to show on the main article page like in your photo snapshot and not just in the thread.

Attach an image to the first post of the thread

great idea, I get ppl all the time asking for a free article mod

cheers

This is a bit off-topic, but I installed the mod and really like the look of the Article Postbit, and I was wondering how I could incorporate something like that into the rest of the regular threads on my board that aren't article-related? Is there a mod that does it already that I'm not aware of? Thanks!

Great mod ...Installed! :)

In Firefox, the alignment looks great, but when using IE8...

- the alignment centers all the text, so I manually corrected it by modifying the "af_articles" template.

- The first thread template looks great in FireFox as well, but the user info has a wide blank space to the right of the text/avatar.

Have you looked at your mod using IE8?

Again, thanks for taking the time and creating a nice mod. :up:

chief first post does something similar

I normally just use firefox, but i'll open up ie and try and make it the same

bananalive,

another suggestion: make number of displayed "most read"/"most commented" configurable, that would be good.
also, can you add an option to "link" an article to an existing thread upon creation? like this: user adds some useful post in other forum and i would want to store this info to be viewable as an article. i can move or copy this thread to articles forum but that's too inconvenient, if copied there will be two sets of comments with no viable way to merge them, if moved it will reside in articles with only a link in old forum and link can't be sticky. i would like it to be vice versa, the post itself in old forum and a link to it in articles, clicking it opening the post as an article. this way it can be very user friendly and convenient, moderators still having access to the whole thread to weed out unneeded comments and on the other hand, the useful info still easily accessed via articles section. could make a great "knowledge base" or "faq" mod for technical boards and such.

and, um, well... if that's possible it would be also great to have some "nominate for knowledge base" mechanism in threads, like "report this post" but for good posts that deserve to be put in articles section. ;)

bananalive,

also i found the bug that prevented article threads from being displayed with af_firstpost and af_comment templates: in "Alter Postbit" plugin, you forgot to import $vbulletin variable and it was inaccessible. changing plugin's first line from to solved the problem.

Indeed, but your modification is not so far from GARS or reviewpost. All it needs is an advanced rating function added to it...

Would be nice. Will you consider adding this?

I wonder if i could use this as the default for all my threads and posts in my entire forum?

Installed and nominated excelent work

Top Banana :D :up:

carubmun,

i think it can easily be done, just create a new topmost forum category, move all your forums into it and assign it as article forums parent. voila.

Installed, but if you move (with redirection) a thread into another forum, the topic is still visible into articles section...

Can you set the option to select and edit 1 or more threads from index page of articles?

There is no inline moderation on articles.php

thanks, i'll add that to next release.

possibly in future...

OK..

Forgive me if this is uber simple but how are you getting the pictures to show up next to your article titles ?


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/38.jpg

I think they are thumbnails of any attachment that is in the article.

Indeed.

Thanks.

It was a simple answer then.

I never use attachments and this is why I missed it.

Misspelled breadcrumb .. ??

Anyone get this working 100% in 3.7.x?

This is an excellent modification, thank you.

I have done a little playing around with the layout as I have never been a big fan of fieldsets, you don't get enough control over how they appear in different browsers.

So I did mine like this with a little mucking about with the code.

Apologies for breaking vb.org's table layout with this image:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/35.jpg

Ok?

I agree the original layout looks like ass.


So, are you just gonna show off or are you going to tell us how you did it.

I'm not trying to show off...

I will try and post the templates tomorrow...because they will certainly need to be cleaned up, I'm not very neat at this sort of thing. I can get the results I need but the chances are it will fail all sorts of validators. This is why I never, ever release anything formally and never will.

The avatars in that screenshot require a couple of changes to one of the plugins. And I had to create a second version of $thread[preview] because I just couldn't make the normal one parse anything....I am sure a better coder than me could sort that in a more efficient way.

All it needs is an nice little ajax routine that uploads images to a defined folder, then creates a token that can be inserted through the article to embed the image.

screen shots are here-

It's because the image extension is .jpeg

Find in articles.php
Change to

I'm not sure what you mean?

looks nice.

The search articles is nice addition as well

Thanks.

The search box is really easy....I simply looked in the forumdisplay template, took the search box dropdown code from there, and pasted it in.

The only problem I am having with that is that I have had to hard code the forumid in as I can't find any variable that carries it.

Use the condition:

<if condition="$c">$c<else />$vboptions[af_forumids]</if>
