Do you have a branding free version of the commercial product, if so how much is it?

Cheers,

Great, one more question, would the vbArticles script be best for use by my clients to post stories, tall tells, ergo: chapters of books and so on, its for a fantasy site. As well as reviews and how to manuals on games?

Cheers,

Even if vbArticles supports pagination, I don't recomment it for long stories (eg Books, Tutorials etc). To do this, I believe that the best is vbNews. I've also post a free version here. More important additions in vbnews:
  • Supports subcategories
  • Supports unlimited chapters (every chapter with pagination if its a long one)
  • Can be used even as main page of your site
  • Supports sponsors (Banners) per category
  • You can assign usergroup permissions for adding articles per category
  • .... and more...
Disavandange at this moment. vbNews supports only commenting and not rating.

I looked at that, however it looks more like a CMS and news center then the article one, news this and that where the other has things like author, and editors choice and so on.

Can news be set up to look like your other mod so its theme is about stories, books, BLOGS and authors, rather then news?

Cheers,

Hello,

Seems that for some reason bullet.gif hasn't uploaded in your site. Upload it from your zipfile or download it here (attached). You must upload it at: vbarticles/images/

a check of the vbarticles/images directory reveals that the file bullet.gif already exist.

I uploaded the gif bullet.gif that you posted.

at the save of a new article I get the same error message.

FYI,

This program has huge security issues due to the use of HTML. I upgraded to a new server and so I did a little experiment on my old one. I was able to crash the server through the HTML capabilities in this program within about 2 minutes. Thus I have removed this program from my site and will not continue use of it.

My Congratulation that you found something that everyone knows in this planet !!! Do you know any script using HTML editor, that in hands of experiant users like you, didn't crashed?... Or do you think that using other type of editors your system is safe? If you think something like that, sorry but you're a dreamer.
The fact my dear, is to wish nobody to give attention to "our" site. If someone wants to crash our servers, can be done it easily. It's not more than 3 weeks, that as I know hackers crashed Microsoft's server.

And finally, you've the choice to give to your users access to simple editor. Giving them access to the full editor, means that you trust them.

If you believe that, then you are naive. A lot of people come here, download plugs, install them and know nothing about how they work. I am sorry you appear to be offended by my post.

and next to that, it is the servers admins responsibility to secure the server. You say html can crash a server, indeed but PHP, CGI are a lot worse and easier to crack servers.

This is the major head ache of every server admin, not only to protect against those wanting to kill your server, but also against those starting to code and 'by accident' kill your server. Not every server kill is because someone wanted it. I saw in the past simple scripts overload a server to crash just by sending mysql in a loop.

No single script is perfect and the more options scripts give, the harder it will be to keep a server secure. That's the price to pay for trying to give better and better programs.

Don't only blame coders, I saw enough servers ran by youngster knowing hardly a line of Linux to host accounts. Today it is easy, a few $, a server package that manages all and they think all is fine... yeah... except that keeping a server secure, is almost a full time job.

I'm sure most coders learn as they go and even experienced coders still find new loopholes.. same for server admins, what seems perfect today might be... hopeless in a few weeks.

Instead just saying it is bad, maybe contact her and share your knowledge, findings, who knows you both can even find a solution to make it better. We all will be better with it.
