Paul M have u updated your Articles hack to 3.0.5 version of Vb? Is it still working?

I say this, as in the first install of this hack, it has some changes for the init.php file...

Anybody else knows if its combatible?

No, we are remaiing on 3.0.3 and just implementing the new init.php file (what I call 3.0.3+ ;)).

Yep i will do the same as u, but the question is, if u do that...is the articles run ok?

As the new init.php file, will overwrite the old one and as u can see, the articles hack uses init.php file

:)

Well yes, obviously you have to re-add the permissions array to the new init.php, otherwise it won't work .... :glasses:

Works fine for me with the 3.0.5 init.php and Paul's update to article.php

Thanks:)

I bit the bullet and upgraded our forum to 3.0.5 tonight. The vB upgrade script nicely wiped out all the articles templates. :rolleyes:

This is because they are installed as Master templates, and the upgrade script wipes and replaces all the master templates. Therefore i had to restore the templates from the backup I took (you do all backup before upgrading don't you ;)).

Alternatively, I believe the articles install script has the option to install the templates only. Now that the templates are restored it seems to be functioning okay. :)

After updating to 3.0.5 articles.php? showed be a blank page.
I ran the install script for templates only. That restored everything.
I didn't loose my articles.

happens when i run the arcade.php?do=challenges
