that's not always true... suppose u have article, and google indexes it... than u decide to remove article, and google sends visitor to ur article that doesn't exist... than he'll receive error messege and never ever come back to ur site!

Same thing is happening to me. Google indexed a lot of test articles, which I deleted and I am getting tons of those database errors. An error message would have been more elegant and more professional for the site.

great (: installed

Fixed and Zip file updated. Just upload vbarticles.php and re-import product-vbarticles.xml

Thanks Maria. I am sure you'll put it also in the premium version. So I am looking forward for next update on that.

is it posiblle to show articles on forumhome?

I've developed around 10 info blocks to be used with vBadvanced but these are commercial ($12.50 all blocks).

perfect, thx!

I have just installed this and went to upload the first test article - got a blank page. I am in the 'admin' usergroup and all permissions are set to 'Yes'. I had previously created two new categories appropriate to our forum then deleted the ones it came with.

Bob

Hello Bob,

You can create unlimited categories, or edit/delete the existings. It's not a problem. But about the blank page I want the installation URL to check it out. Nobody reported a problem like this.

I'll PM you my login details.

Bob

Maria, do you think your hack work with the next version to vBulletin ?

Bob,

Have you touched the templates? Seems that the full template vbarticles_new is missing that's why if you try to see the code of the blank page there is nothing.

Why not? I'm using only 4 functions for vb. All others are normal PHP functions or my functions.:)

I haven't changed any templates, and vbarticles_new is in ACP and not red or yellow.

Bob

Open with a text editor the file: vbarticles.php
If your editor has line numbers goto to line: 749 otherwise search for
Can you find it?
If yes and if it's exactly as I wrote above then something in your site's configuration is going wrong.

Hooo, great Maria, thank your for your answer and big thanks for this hack :)

One question, ,it's possible for the next version, to add function for rename the file "vbarticles.php" ?

eg something like ... vbAllan.php ?:D ok.. but not in the next version.

Yes that is correct. I have checked the installation and it is as per the instructions. How else can the configuration be wrong?

Bob

Really I don't know. I've checked in your site (seeing browser's status bar) that the url for "Add an Article" is correct. In your php file there is the print_output to the correct template and as you told me this template exists. Actually the problem is the template. If you see at your bowser address bar you're redirecting the "new article" even if you're getting a blank page. If you right click and see the page's code you'll see nothing other than headers... so for some reason your browser can't read correctly the template, or vB dosen't sends correct information to the browser.

Last try even childish question of me. Maybe you've the template there. Could you please open it and see if there is code inside? Maybe something went wrong during imporing the template.

It looks OK.

Bob

The only that I can say is to try a fresh installation. Nobody reported a problem like this. If you do a new installation, before change any category try to add an article.

I LOVE YOU MICRO!!!!!! the editor made all the difference...!!!! you are the best at your craft....

lol, no i thought think to tutorials.php or glossaire.php for example ;) (pity)

Complete uninstall then fresh reinstall. Same problem.

Bob

Has anyone installed version 1.5 and actually gotten it to work. All the control in the editor arebasically grayed out and I can't actually create the body of my article.

Doh!!! Typo problem. I mis-spelled the directory 'editor' as 'editior'. All working OK now. Nice mod, sorry if I caused a panick.

Bob

I apologize for my mistake but I've forgotten to include editor's stylesheet in my templates which causes problems on it (eg inactive buttons etc). Also maybe this caused incompatibilities with some browsers.

Zipfile updated

Thanks Mary
I liked your mod, I would like to buy the commercial one...but I have some question first?

- in the commercial version there is abiity to enable/disable the downloads audio and video, if I disabled the downloading, can people who are using download manager like DAP download files although the function is disabled?

- can the mod handle upload large files like ( >100 MB)?

- can I change the screen size of videos or it is fixed?

Ok, I'm undecided now between this product and WebTemplates.

WebTemplates is free and been around longer, but Mary's product looks snazzier. Has anyone looked at both offerings? Are both SEO friendly?

I couldn't find the answer, but does this product allow replies to articles?

Thanks.

I like this so much I upgraded to the commercial (paid) version. :up:

Bob

Hey!

This is a great mod! Although I am having a minor problem with it...
When I use the English language, everything is perfect, but when I switch to Swedish, the date becomes messed up, as you can see in this picture: http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/3514/fsdfakh5.jpg

Does anyone have any idea of how I could fix this? Thanks a lot!

I've an idea:) Send me your vbarticles.php file to modify it. I don't know why, but even if I'm using the normal vb function:
In some French installations and now in Swedish, appears this problem. My email is here (10/02/2006 is ok format for you?)

How to update vbarticles?

is this working with vBulletin 3.5.4?

Well, even if I'm now working on 3.6.4 I'm using exactly the same method of coding as when I started with 3.5.4. I can't guarantee that it will work but for sure is impossible to crash your system.

I'll appreciate if you test it and let me know the results. Unfortunatelly I've no any way to test it in other version.

Maria
