Hmm...in the previous version..one could add the initial chapter easily. In this current version (3.1)...is the only way to do that, is by using mysql?

www.ez-company.net/forums/vbstory.php

Check it out to see what I mean. Is it a template issue? I edited your mysql insert for the Romance story. However, after reading that chapter, test options come up.

I like the ability for members to create their own starting stories. If not that, at least admins/mods should be able to create stories w/o going into myphpadmin (like you had it in v2.5 and earlier). I'm assuming this is a template mixup. But I've not edited any of your templates, they are installed correctly I believe, and there is no option to add a new story.

*edit*
I reread your post way at the top at this page. :) I know you are working on this.

However, new question...If I am going to add a story into myphpadmin...how do I add the 2 choices in the beginning, so that they are not "test" and "test"?

This version is more powerful...but obviously not complete. I know you are working hard on it. I'm just anxious as this truly has the potential to make communities much more interactive, which is something I avidly promote. :)

Keep up the good work man. Also, I've removed the public link from my site w/ this version. hehe I'll wait until it's more complete.

*edit
Also...I was rofl when I saw your "Please don't kill the main character" statement! It's true....but funny. :)

Apok2002 - as I said before, this is still only in BETA, and is a work in progress. The next release is going to support full admin controls (adding and editing genres, adding and editing stories, editing chapters for original chapter poster and mods/admin, etc...)

The current release (beta3.1) was done just to give you an idea of how the diffrent genres and stories work, and to let people with MySQL esperiance a headstart LOL :)

beta 4 is on it's way :)

I have installed it anyway and its working fine apart from one user saying there getting a database error but when i test it it works fine so i think its just them.

Ps thanx for thinking about it maybe it can be mind so its a add on that can be turned off and in in admin cp.

my boards at http://www.ultimate-forums.co.uk/ if anyone want to view this hack in action.

If one user is getting errors, then more can.

would you get them to give you the mysql error (all of it), so that you can post it here for me, it's obviously going to be a problem, and I wanna fix it :)

Looking good, i've seen it running on 4 sites with diffrent designs now, and each one looks good, I'm glad about that :)

I've started a thread in the "Help Me Finish" forum because i'm having some trouble getting to grips with how to code the admin sections of the hack.

If you have some experiance coding admin features, can pop over to the thread and gimme some support please?

Thanx :D

I have asked that user to copy the database error if it happens again and if it does i post it here.

for anyone that wants to know why the story only supports one character, read below:

it only has one Character because the idea is that you take on the role of that person in the story.

the stories will be written as if you was telling a story to your grandchildren from a first person perspective, but in a past tense.

For example:
I sat in the park and waited for my friends.
instead of:
He sat in the park and waited for his friends.

The story can have more than one character, but you will only have control of one :)

I hope that makes sense?

thanx :)

Any and all feedback/error/etc... that you can inform me of will be gladly accepted :D
