It seems there are some bugs in this thingy too. The post date is shown as well as the last date for the comment made. There seems to be no option to remove this except edit the template.

Also, the option to show views/comments is not conditioned in the modul so it is displayed by default. Could be a good idea to remove this (I hardly have any comments on my articles, people just read and go post something intelligent elsewhere in the forums). I just commented that bit out in the module.

I think I have installed almost everything by you now. So now I can take one of those vBa Links Directory popup things, thank you. That would be a killer. :)

This bit of info needs added to the install file...

its not in there as it isnt correct as far as I know the vbacmps templates need the adv_portal_ prefix

Hi

Just wondering if this is possible with your hack and that is, i use your article system to run a card of the day system.

I would like to have the latest new card of the day thread (not new replies) including the attachment of the card which is uploaded with it shown on my vbadvanced homepage.

Is this possible.

Thanks
Kirk

If I understand you correctly - you are wanting to show the latest attachment thumbnail from specific forums?

Sounds like a cool idea - but no this wouldnt work for you. Sorry :(

Hello,
When creating new module templates, they need to be written like this:

adv_portal_TEMPLATE NAME

However, when you are adding the module to the pages, it is not entered with the prefix. All you enter for the template name on the "add module" page is the template name. So where it asks for template name, you only enter: TEMPLATE NAME

If you add the prefix in the add module section, it will not work!

any reason why it shows the last 3 posts rather then articles?
.matt

not sure what you mean matt - are you sure you have the correct forumids in?

This part cannot be completed in cmps 1.0.1 because in vba_cmps_include_bottom.php you cannot find this. Is it possible to get this working in any other way ?

Hi there,

thanks for this excellent hack. I installed it following the instructions, and the hack does display the latest articles on the portal page. But every so often, I get the following error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT
thread.threadid, thread.title, thread.replycount, postusername, postuserid, thread.dateline AS postdateline, IF(views <= thread.replycount, thread.replycount+1, views) AS views, thread.lastposter, thread.lastpost, pollid

,thread.forumid, forum.title AS forumtitle
, post.pagetext AS preview

FROM thread as thread

LEFT JOIN forum AS forum ON (thread.forumid = forum.forumid)
LEFT JOIN post AS post ON (post.postid = thread.firstpostid)
LEFT JOIN deletionlog AS deletionlog ON (thread.threadid = deletionlog.primaryid AND type = 'thread')

WHERE open <> '10' AND thread.visible = 1 Array AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC
LIMIT 4

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'Array AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL
ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC

mysql error number: 1064

What could the problem be?
