I may work on this after Christmas, but cannot promise anything as time is really limited and don't wish to get others' hopes up.

After i finally finish up on all the features i promised, i will release it as a Full version and not beta.
cheers folks and thanks for the encouragement, you're a great bunch.

Cinq, I hope you do decide to continue work, it`s a great hack already and has the potential to be awesome.. I think the vBulletin World is big enough for two tutorial/article hacks ;)

Anyways if you do decide to come back to this after christmas then I`d be happy to help, if not I`d be happy to take over the project as I originally said.

Cheers.

It would be nice if you would put the original file back, so I can at least fully un-install this hack.

cinq	12-07-2003 12:34 PM

Remove articles.php , vbarticlesadmin.php from your forum root and forum admin dir respectively.

Remove all templates that has vbarticles_ prefixes.
In your database, remove vbarticles_content and vbarticles_cat

Happy uninstalling.

Thanks mate, I couldn't remember if I'd made any changes to functions.php e.t.c. Sorry to see this hack go, thanks for the support and work in the past. Good luck in future projects. :)

In admin/adminfunctions.php

Remove the code

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###################### Start maketableheaderview #######################

function maketableheaderview ($title,$anchor="",$htmlise=1,$colspan=6) {

// makes a two-cell spanning bar with a named <A> and a title

// then reinitialises the bgcolor counter.

    global $bgcounter;

    echo "<tr class='tblhead'><td colspan='$colspan'><a name=\"$anchor\"><font size='1'><center><span class='tblhead'>".iif($htmlise,htmlspecialchars($title),$title)."</span></center></font></a></td></tr>";

    $bgcounter = 0;

}

In admin/index.php
Remove the code

PHP Code:


		
			
makenavoption("View/Edit/Add article","vbArticlesadmin.php?","<br>");

makenavoption("Add Category","vbArticlesadmin.php?action=addnewcat","<br>");

makenavoption("View all articles","vbArticlesadmin.php?action=viewbulk","<br>");

if ($valid == '1'){

makenavoption("Validate New","vbArticlesadmin.php?action=validate");

}

makenavselect("vbArticles");

In admin/template.php
Remove the code

PHP Code:


		
			
$only['vbArticles'] = 'vbArticles';

That would make it a clean uninstall :)

Cheers for the tip on adminfunctions. Found that the only way I could delete the templates was via phpMyAdmin as they had been inserted into the default template set.

Question, out the two available solutions (this) and the Tutorial Hack - which offers the most?

Thanks!

Yours may be a moot question since there doesn't appear to be any way to download this hack any longer. However, this hack looks better to me, from the installations I've seen.

hehheh :D
took it down as it is no point installing a buggy version.
when 0.5 is cleaned up and proper, will then post the attachment again in a new thread in Full Releases section.

Cinq: I am running 0.3 and apart from the bugs its doing a good job for everything at www.zclub.net thank you :-)

Are there any plans to add a proper independant admin page later on? In our club I'm dividing jobs up, we have a gallery admin and such but I really dont wanna give out access to my forum control panel so people can moderate the articles.

Also a "tick" mod, like photopost has so that when a new article is uploaded you get a visible tick for admins to see or an e-mail would be very nice :-)

Thanks for your time, hope 0.5 is about soon :D

cinq	01-04-2004 12:55 AM

Yipee, seem to have sub categories working :D

Russ, I'm afraid I wont be working on an independent admin page as this hack is meant to be integrated with the vb admin panel all along.

A future additional feature would be to automatically send a PM or email ( by admin choice/option ) to the admins when a new article is submitted, so that the admin will know to check and validate or delete if neccessary.

Time is very limited but rest assured i work on this all i can. :)
Just be patient people and thanks for your understanding :D

AWESOME!! Cing, you know my v 0.3 is hacked all to hell and back...but I am anxious to see the next version with subcategories and all of the other goodies you've going on. If it can be done, please consider my earlier request that the script be modified to write the complete URL into another field in the row. This of course would be dynamic as each new ID was generated. I use to get my search engine right that indexes the Library, so there might not be too much demand for it. Let me know if you have a question about what I'm trying to get at.

cinq	01-04-2004 01:04 AM

dontpanic , will try to see what I can do for you once I finish up with this hack. Will be considered an addon ( assuming I know how to do it heh :p ) since it is likely not a feature wanted by many others.

dontpanic

01-04-2004 01:08 AM

Understand. I just added the extra field to the articles table and I put the URL in by hand after the fact using phpMyAdmin. With as many articles as I've got currently, and as many as I've got coming up, the addition of the search engine was a real requirement for MCSE World. Again, the hack is awesome and the sub categories is even better. Looking forward to the next version!

dontpanic

01-04-2004 01:11 AM

Oh yeah...one more thing...something I just noticed yesterday as a matter of fact. Date sorting is screwy when multiple years are involved in regards to the X most recently added articles display on the main page. I had December 2003 articles that showed as more recent than January 2004 articles when the dates were in the format of mm/dd/yyyy. I have changed them to long dates now like December 1, 2003. I know this is due to that field being plaintext instead of a date field. Maybe you fixed in v 0.4...just thought I'd bring it up.

cinq	01-04-2004 01:43 AM

Yep , the field is now a timestamp :)
I think I am going to have nightmares with the upgrade script ...... lol

dontpanic

01-04-2004 01:49 AM

OK, I think I might manually update the applicable code in the meantime then. :)

Thanks again and looking forward to the next version!

01-04-2004 04:55 AM

Please tell me your going to make this hack work for VB3.

cinq	01-05-2004 05:10 AM

cnczone, I'll see how it goes, my main priority now is to push out the full version for v2.x.x :)

cinq	01-05-2004 05:12 AM

A look at the article validation portion.
Nothing is fixed at this point, just posting updates as I go along and also to draw ideas for suggestions to improve on :)

01-05-2004 02:22 PM

yeah that would be so great, if this hack would be also available for vb3 :D

chrisvonc

01-09-2004 12:01 AM

I too am eager to give the new version for vB2.3.x a try as I didnt get a chance to try the original. Something like this may be perfect for all the articles that get submited to my site! I will have to watch the thread closely now.
:)

It would be nice to have thumbnail images on the articles themselves. I have been using this for reviews and having a graphical image of the item reviewed would be great. It could even be done like the main category where you have to specify the thumb yourself.

Dear Kael-el/Clark:

The author pulled the code because of a bug issue. It would be handy if he has the time to make a note in the original post at the front of this thread. I found out here:

cinq, looking forward to the new release - any news on progress? Thanks!

cinq	02-05-2004 10:02 AM

Additional of 2 more new features just implemented.

- Pagination of article ( pagebreak string set by admin )
- Pagination of articles under each category ( number of articles shown per page set by admin )

:D
Patience my friends , my comp went down on me and all my data unfortunately was not backed up.
Had to work on this from scratch again .... but it is coming along , slowly but surely.

They have all been fixed in the upcoming version .... now let's hope i dont introduce more bugs with the new features lol

Hey cinq,

I just did a 2.3.4 upgrade and now I wish I hadn't! lol

Hows the new version coming please? Until it's out www.zclub.net is looking somewhat bare. If theres anything I can do to assist let me know!

Cheers

cinq	02-07-2004 12:22 AM

Wat's wrong with the upgrade ?
( havent tested this hack on 2.3.4 though , am working on it on a localhost version of 2.3.2 )

Well, I am having a tough time figuring out the commenting and rating system , any form of leads would be good :)

Russ_T

02-09-2004 09:00 PM

Well it just doesn't run on 2.3.4 at all :( :)

It doesn't display any articles or allow you to edit them. The same goes for vbLinks which has borrowed heavily from vbArticles I believe?

If I can help at all please let me know, without vbArticles my car club has no faq, no classifieds, no reviews, no links, nothing worth having! :)

cinq	02-09-2004 10:08 PM

That's odd, can anyone specify what changes were made in 2.3.4 ?

It is the other way around actually. I initially did this hack from an idea i got while looking at the structure of vbLinks and from my own requirements for my personal site. The code has changed quite a lot but I still owe much credit to Arunan who first created vbLinks for getting me off my feet on this hack :D
Believe it or not, his hack got me into PHP coding and vb hacking :D
