Is this and the other one working with cmps 1.0.1 and geek articles 3.51 ? because this one didn't work for me and the other one's instructions cannot be completed because the file change we need to make cannot be made.

Two things:

1) Even though I have it set to "Show the thread/article icon", nothing shows. The poster avatar will show when enabled however.

2)In the URL to default image section it keeps adding the slash before the UNC, as follows:
/http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/gas/images/default.jpg

Thats becasue this is designed for GAS2.0

I havent had time to develop one for 3.0 yet. This will work - but it will not use GAS3x header image or byline. It will only show first x amount of chars from the article.

I have a rough version on my site for 3.0 but havent had time to rework it properly though. If anyone wants to finish it up - I am more than happy to help by providing the code.

Anyword on what's happening with getting this set up to work with 3.5 yet?

I sent tpr some prototype stuff I use on my site and he tweaked it some so its now working for him. He said he would post it when he gets a minute.

I made a module to display categories, should I post?

hell ya. Is it like the one for last x articles? If its different - post a new add on. I am sure many would benefit.

here you go. I grouped all articles as subforums under one category in forums named articles.
then I made a module named geekcategories.php (replace parentid=xx with the main category number)

PHP Code:


		
			
<?
$result_articlescategories = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM forum WHERE parentid=XX ORDER BY displayorder
 
"); 
 
 
 
while ($artcatego = $DB_site->fetch_Array($result_articlescategories)) {
 
$artid = $artcatego[forumid];
 
$arttitle = $artcatego[title];
 
$artdescription = $artcatego[description];
 
$artthreadcount = $artcatego[threadcount];
 
eval('$categobits .= "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_artcategobits') . '";'); 
 
}
 
$DB_site->free_result($result_articlescategories);
 
 
 
eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] .= "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_artcatego') . '";');
 
 
 
unset($artcatego,$artid,$arttitle,$artdescription,$artthtreadcount);
 
?>

then I created the templates.
adv_portal_artcatego

Quote:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Categories</strong></span></td>
</tr>
$categobits
</table>
<br />

adv_portal_artcategobits (replace forums with yours)

Quote:

<tr class="alt1"><td><table width="100%" cellpacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr class="alt1"><td><span class="smallfont"><strong><a href="/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=$artid" title="$artdescription">$arttitle</a></strong></span></td><td align="right"><span class="smallfont"><font size="1" color="#666666"> ($artthreadcount)</font></span></td></tr></table></td></tr>

Like a couple of others I am having trouble with the module displaying. If I make it a "featured" article and specify the article number, the module shows up fine but if I go with the random method nothing shows at all on my front page.

Anyone figure out a fix?

Thanks,

Troy
