Yes. That would be nice...

Pardon my limited knowledge in PHP

how do modify articles.php so that it can function as a index.php file outside of my forum directory?

here's my problem in action

http://www.asiaphoto.com/forum/articles.php works

but

this doesn't work

http://www.asiaphoto.com/articles.php



i know i need to rewrite the paths in articles.php but i don't know which ones.


Dear Bananalive or other fellow coders, could you pls help me? thanks in advance.

Find in articles.php:
After add:
altering $forumpath to the correct forum path

Open template: af_articles

find and delete:
Find
Replace with:

Repeat for template: af_articles_alt

Post Count refers to the #1 or #45 of post

Posts refers to the users posts in postbit

Not all postbit have if condition around the posts.

Can I give u several suggestions or requests ?

1. How about if articles page with selected forum instead 1 forum category and child forum ?
2. Can we have archive of old news (page 2) with title only on bottom of articles.php instead just go to next page ?
3. If you can make `related news' in every articles thread, it should be great.
4. [Bugs ?] Some of comments now showing on page articles.php but showing 10 (real) on showthread.php
5. Showing top 5 mod/admin selected thread on header of articles.php
6. Thanks button on thread starter missing if you use mod vS-Hide Thanks

Thanks.. nice mod :)

thanks Bananalive for helping me with this.

it works, but i encounter another problem


see
http://www.asiaphoto.com/forum/articles.php

and the index.php i'v improved with your help
http://www.asiaphoto.com/indextest.php


the parts not working
(1) forum logo is not showing now
(2) at the top left, instead of the folder icons,
it shows "Go Back" and "Reload this page"

(3) i appear not logged in on my index page
it looks like the registeration and logged in part won't work too.


(4) when i click on any links, i get error404 because the links are not reflecting the right path.

bananalive,

any good news regarding my feature request? ;)

bananalive,

one more feature request: i think it would be beneficial to have ability to use article postbit template instead of comment template for both first post and subsequent posts in a thread, selectible per thread. for example, on my board there are several knowledgeable users who prefer to post something useful in a closed thread (to avoid comments) in blog-like fashion, post after post. however such a thread is not a blog really, it's more like an article consisting of many parts, updated time after time. right now with this mod that would look like an article (first post) and several comments. if it would be possible to set some option upon article creation and use article postbit for all posts in that thread, that would be terrific.

p.s. and even more terrific would be an option to change default "posts per page" number. some articles tend to be very long... and that would solve the problem of article pagination, well of a sort.

Thanks for your great MOD :)
