Nice one, is there a chance of having something like this but for the geeks version?

You'll have to ask the modification's author.

I'm getting this error message when trying to upload the module.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/admincp/vba_cmps_admin.php on line 3947

The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file.

I'm using vb3.8.2 vBadvanced CMPS v3.2.0

Same issue here as above

Fixed in v1.4. Download from first post.

You are a God! Totally works now! Thanks so much!

it says an invalid module file
i am using version 3.8.3

did you unzip it?? It installed on my 3.8.3 without any issues

Bananalive is the man! That update works. Good stuff bro.

How show oldest articles ?

I'm getting this error message on another vbcommunity after installing and trying to view threads with at lease 20 replies. VB3.8.3 CMPS v3.2.0

Thanks mate. Just waited for this :)

I want to show just one article on CMPS, figured that out...but how do i make it show more of the article?
right now it just shows like maybe 25 words or so.
Thanks!

Do you get the same error on articles.php?

I have tested it on my forum with a thread of over 20 replies and it doesn't (and shouldn't) affect it.

Alter in vbulletin Options -> Article forum Options -> Article Preview Length

vbulletin Options -> Article forum Options -> Default Sort Order -> Yes

Then Change forum settings
Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum

Default Sort Field: Thread start time
Default sort order: Ascending

*Installed* i love this mod. it looks very clean and professional. and saves a ton of room.

Hi, I tried to do this (raised it to 100), but it still shows 25 or so words... The change takes affect though on articles.php, so it's only the vba that has the problem.

I also tried to go into the vba options, edit the module, and change the Maximum Characters of Thread Title to Display as high as 1000 but it still shows 25 words. What am I doing wrong?

You have yet again delivered another gem to the community.

Installed and nominated.

Top Banana :up: :D

Right, the post preview doesn't change no matter what number .. any fix for that please?

Thanks for the mod .. I am working on a test forum with vBa

Try attached file

Also should fix max title length issue

you did it bananalive :

great work,, its working great now with different numbers.. Thanks

if you can just add a lil request please,, add [Read More]

I know I posted in your other mod .. sorry for the double post.

Thanks again

Could you make a version to be used on any external page? I have a custom home page written and I can usually break down a vba module to be used but this one looks a bit more complicated :/, I think a lot of people may find it useful to be able to include it in to a custom written page. Any help would be thankful!

Nice mod as usual, bananalive

*** installed ***

Top notch!

Quick query - on the portal, where the items of news are listed you have 'by (author)' - where about is this text listed for making minor alterations? For example, I'd like it to perhaps say 'Posted by...Author'

Cheers

Great Mod, works perfect, thanks! :)

Is there anyway to show the HTML Markup on the usernames?

would it be possible to outline the thumbnails to the right bananalive?

Hmm, it would be nice to be able to choose which categories this pulls articles from for the listing. That would make it VERY useful.

Find in template af_threadbit
Add After:

Find in template :
Replace:

No.

Find in af_articlebit:
Replace with:

I'm not sure what you mean.

Thanks bananalive ... works great now

Thanks for that too,, you could add it to af_articlebit like I did and looks great there too

This looks great but I am having a slight problem. For some reason it's not displaying any of the thread information on the main page. It shows the title, an image, and the author, but no information of what's contained within the thread. I've played around with numerous settings and still can't figure it out. The website is www.thecatacombs.net

Thank you.

I'm maybe having a thick moment, but I cant find the line to change in any of the template files!

Hi all. First of all this mod was excellent!! Works perfect for what I needed. I am wondering however... I need 2 news type deals (For seperate pages)

I can only select 1 forum to be the news in my admin cp. Is there anyway to do more than 1? as in how could I get 2 to 3 other forurm categories on my site to do the same thing?

Thanks in advance.
