For some reason I'm not seeing Article Forum Options in settings. If I reinstall this product will all existing posts be wiped?

I hope I can explain this so it makes sense.

My home page is content.php and I have removed the code from my vbcms_content_section_page template,
so articles don't show up on the front page.

Is there anyway that articles can be displayed on their own pages instead of my content.php page ?

This is gonna sound crazy, but if I only have one article it works like I would like, but if I add another article it shows on my home page with sidebars etc.

I have attached a pic that shows when I have just the one article.
Which is the way I would like it all the time ... if possible.

I will pay for that and I am sure many other members will also pay for it.

This is still a huge problem:
Only images that were uploaded outside the forum showed up as thumbnails and all other images were large. After trying to fix it, it reverted ALL the images on my forum to tiny thumbnails that nobody could make out. The only way we got it fixed was by loading the previous day's backup and loosing all posts for 2 days.

I have a Sub forum "News" which I have set the articles mod to convert. Is there a way to change the title to "News" (the name of the forum) rather than "Articles"?

Also, the link above the articles links to "News -> Articles" How can I change this to the parent forum? in this case "Home -> News"

any help is appreciated

Fixed, just changed to use default postbit.

Installed - Nice

I've also adding more of a gap above/below the posts as it was looking abit squahsed :D

Shoot, Fresh install or this hack of a fresh 4.2.0 with CMS
Before installing this hack CMS worked fine

After CMS gives this

Any ideas. Disabling this hack fixes CMS

Commenting out that line in content.php seems to fix the issue

yes, me too! how fixed that please, thx

Anyway to stop recent articles appearing in the centre and just put a message saying "Please choose a category on the left" or similar?

I have "Parse BB Code on articles.php" set to "No" as recommended, but I notice it still shows custom BB. For example, I have some custom BB codes for image alignments and opening in the same window instead of a new one. But, my article shows up like:

HTML Code:

Early access started on April 25th for "Heroes of the North" which looks to have cost about $199, April 27th for "Guardians of Neverwinter", and on April 30th for non-Founders. I am part of the latter category and didn't start until April 3rd. For a little conte...

The part where it is shows:

...but, as you can see, its still showing the URL to the image. Pretty sure it's because it is Custom BB but is there any way to make that not happen?

I believe you need to modify the code in both following templates:

and you can move the article slide to anywhere else if you like...

Yes, you are right. I have the same issue so I'm still looking for a solution since then...

This is strange a bit... I thought if you have the CMS there is no need for this hack since CMS as I understood before it contains all that in the package...!!!

correct me if I was wrong :)

by the way, is it possible to re-create new mod of this with different name, say news.php instead of Article...!!

any idea???

I believe I found some errors in some templates: i.e. af_left_alt

The conditional statement doesn't make any sense...

any idea how to display the poster avatar in front of the article title in the main article page??

Thanks

I sent a PM to the author 2 months ago asking if there was any amount I could donate to him to remove the copyright but never got a response.

So I use it with the copyright- the first mod in a long time that has a copyright- because it is just that good. Wish there was a 6th star for this mod.

LOL ...good to know about the copyright.
It was the lack of response and the buggy ways of the mod back in 27 Apr 2011 when I asked and since have uninstalled this great mod.

Thanks Joe I do appreciate the update! :)

So this mod still works? before will try to use it...

Thanks for the input.

Looks like works in 4.2.1 but how do i fix to show more content ,see attached picture,
i want more lines there,now only 1?!...

thanks.

Go to the article forum options and increase the Article Preview length. I have it set on 250 words.

Thank you,that worked fine!...

Is there another way to change the thumbsize in de preview? The Article forum options is somehow gone from the menu in admincp

Try re-installing the mod, but it is virtually impossible for that to happen... I can't conceive how it would even happen if the mod remains installed.

Ok, thx Bird. I was hoping there was another way to change the thumbs, because only the thumbs needs to be corrected.
I lost the Article forum options probably with the upgrade (?)

Maybe look closer in the list of mods- maybe it's just between different mods?

Thx, I reinstalled as you suggested and the articles options are back in the menu again :up:

I have custom bbcode [img2] displaying images. It is not being parsed in the preview. Is there a way to get it parsed?

Thank you.

Solved

Navigationwise, all the pages article.php can be displayed under Article tab. Once you go into the actual article (which in reality is a forum post), the active tab changes back to forum (undestandable).

Is there a work around to get it to display certain forum id's under an active Articles tab?

Thanks

I wish for a 6th Star as well... gosh I've used this mod in so many ways, on so many different sites! It's saved tons of people quite a bit of money from having to pay someone to create a basic form page countless times over.

Two of my favorite mods of all time are this "Article Forums" and "Web Templates" mods.

I have been using this mod for years and unfortunately it does not display via tapatalk which is very disappointing.

That is a issue with Tapatalk, not the mod, as is with alot of modifications. :(

Yes I know tapatalk is the problem and not the mod and there is no way around it either. It is very disappointing.

Can someone tell me how to do this? I was going to do this in phrases, but there are so many! Is there an easier way that I am missing? I want it to say "recipe" every place that it now says "article".

Also, a vbAdvanced module where I could show the last 5 recipes would be great!

Hi,

First of all thank you, this is a great mod.

I have a small problem with mine, it wasn't like that in the beginning. It happened some time ago, I don;t remember when.

When I create an article from a post the images/attachments are not being displayed as images. just as simple links to those images.

Here is an example:
http://www.efly.co.il/forums/showthr...E5%EC%F8%E9%FA

When you click on the image link you can see it.

What seems to be the problem?

someone? please?
