PAINTBALLM,

I could help you. It can be done with BBcode easy.
I've got the codes for my board.

alright, thanks!

Does this work with vB 3 beta 7 ?

Ofcourse not with vB3 ... for now.

any news on 0.5 ?

Dolby, do post the changes you made to enable usage of vB's vbcode. Could save some work on my end.
Thanks

picked up work on this hack again ... keep a lookout for updates on the first page.

nice work matey hope you hav time to compleate good luck :)

nice one matey :P

Looking great. Really looking forward to an update. Cinq, if you would consider it, when this hack is completed - I'd be willing to pay for a vB3 conversion. This hack and the Link Database hack is all that's holding me back - not that I mind as all is working well! :)

Thanks again.

I have a question about the vbhome hack for the articles addon. Right now, the hack just shows the catagory names and descriptions. I'm trying to make it so that it shows the number of articles in each catagory as well as the most recent articles (I haven't started on that part yet though).

Anyways for showing the number of articles, I found the code in articles.php which does the actual pulling from the db...

and of course $totaltuts being the variable used to show the actual number pulled.

Now, I've tried a few different placements in index.php file for vbhome, but have not been able to figure out how to add it to the code which is already in there for the article bit. Basiclly I keep getting mysql errors where ever I put it. Any ideas on how I could get this working?

I'm still some way off from finishing this for a Full Release for vb2.
When that's done, then we'll talk vb3 version :D

i've not managed to get this to work :(

Will be scraping the idea of using vbcode for this hack.
No point since a WYSIWYG editor will be offered to the user as well as the admin who is submitting the article.

Anyways, more screenies on the progress :

1) View All articles
2) View All categories
3) Add new article

I dunno if it's such a good idea to get rid of the support altogether, some people don't like WYSIWYG.

Cinq, how about my editor, not good enough?!

Looks like you never can please everyone, can you.

Give them a blank content box, they want more.
Give them vbcode, they want more.
Give them WYSIWYG, they want more.

geez..

maybe I'll just stick to blank content boxes and let users learn to code in HTML and don't be lazy. :p

I don't understand how it works. In fact, i don't even know what format that is ?! lol :p

An IE5.5 and up format.
You can just read about it in google.com ...

cinq, is it possible to provide the bugfix for the dash problem? I see it's fixed in 0.5, but its really bugging me and if it can be resolved while we all wait for 0.5, that'd be great.

So far great hack :)

thanks

-------
Update: Prob fixed, thanks cinq

more updates cuming any time soon mate ? sorry if your busy :(

And thumg.gif's would be great too.

0.5 features look good i cant w8 :P

Does anyone else have the problem of submitting a rather large article but it not showing up?

If I fill each field with something like "asdfasf" it submits and displays fine, but if I put in an actual article it says added to the database, then doesn't show up.

I tried changing the content field in the db to longtext, but it's still broken..

i havnt installed to b honest as tthis hack is sttill betta im waitin 4 a nice stable release :)

OK...it's been way too long since I installed this hack. Do you have a "version indicator" in any of the files so I can tell how much of the upgrades need to be done???

I dont have the time to work on this right now.
If you're patient, hold on and give me time. :)
If you're not, feel free to work on the hack yourself for the features you need if you are proficient enough.
Personally I already have all the features i need in my own live system. Addition of features only serve for the benefit of you folks.

no problems mate ur real life is more important than this virtual internet life that takes over us i understand

Cinq, how would I fix the large articles not submitting but short gibberish articles do?

That's a question a lot of people would like an answer to LOL. :)

Can't wait until version 0.5 comes out! ;-)

This is looking very promising. The first thing that i would like though is the automatic date & user who is filling out an article.

Thanks for your work Cinq!
Appreciated

It's not a matter of the length of article, i believe its a aprostophe (sp?) somewhere in the content that is causing havoc.
It has been fixed for the next release.

They have already been implemented.
Check back on the first page of this hack for updates.
Will update it as and when i have the time to play with the code.

The length of the article does make a difference. I myself have the same problem, where large articles simply disappear.

Discontinuing this hack.

assassingod is doing something similiar, you can get it here

cing, sorry to see it come to an end. Thanks for all your hard work on this hack. I will most likely continue to run it until I make the move to vB 3.0 using CPublish.

Thanks again!

I'm disappointed to see this one end...I hate switching midstream to something else. I'm sure you'll still have people wanting to use your hack if you contine to develop it.

Ditto. Shame to see this one die as it was going well. Oh well I guess it's copy and paste time to the new system.

Have looked at the other hack and find it`s current functionality not upto what seemed to be coming with the next version of this hack, not to mention having to change the data over to that hack.. if your determined to discontinue it could I have the code you already have done for v0.5 and your permission to continue it for those that would prefer to use this hack?

I agree....I think this hack shows much more promise than the other one. This hack also has an existing userbase. I would be willing to help someone get .5 up and running
