Is this in working condition or should I wait?

This mod automatically makes threads into articles and uses post replies as comments correct?

If I have 4 forum categories with articles could I have them auto added to certain categories of the CMS?

It has nothing to do with the cms, you would need a different modification to do that.....

DivineMessenger

02-28-2010 08:23 PM

Installed. I think it's nice, the theming could be a little crisper and it would be nice if there was an option to show more of an article by default but this looks very promising.

Nice if you don't have a CMS, I hope someone makes something like this for the CMS though.

Best of luck to you =]

Just installed into my 4.0.1 test site and this is almost perfect for my needs, fantastic mod.

I do have some suggestions though ;)

Make the word Articles/Article configurable, I intend to use this mod for a something that would be better titles as "Listing/Listings". As an example rather than a Reply to Article button, it would read Reply to <whatever the config is>.
Add option to disable/hide the Most Read / Most Commented / Top Authors boxes on the article homepage.
It would be great if it was possible to configure the location of some of the Article homepage boxes, for example I would like to Search and Categories on the left hand side, and Post New and Display options on the right.

Also found a couple of minor quirks

When you click on an article to view it, the navbar highlight switches to "Forum" rather than staying on "Article"
The mod seems to ignore thread prefixes and does not display these anywhere.

Hi, with the hack I've a error message when I edit a article on the front pack(cms)

Quote:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Legacy_Thread as array in /XXX/packages/vbcms/content.php(985) : eval()'d code on line 1

, so when the hack is desactivated or uninstalled my cms work fine, thx

A fix to one of the quirks I mentioned above:

Quote:

To fix this, open articles.php and find (approx line 372)

Code:

$threads =         $threads = $db->query_read("

                SELECT thread.*,thread.title AS threadtitle,thread.forumid AS forumid, post.dateline AS postdateline, post.pagetext AS preview, MIN(attachment.attachmentid) AS attachmentid, fd.extension AS extension

Change this to:

Code:

$threads =         $threads = $db->query_read("

                SELECT thread.*,thread.title AS threadtitle,thread.forumid AS forumid, post.dateline AS postdateline, post.pagetext AS preview, MIN(attachment.attachmentid) AS attachmentid, fd.extension AS extension, thread.prefixid

Notice the addition of ', thread.prefixid ' at the end

At approx line 390 find:

Code:

$foruminfo['allowicons'] = 1;

while($thread = $db->fetch_array($threads))

{

Immediately after this paste in:

Code:

if ($thread['prefixid'])

{

        $thread['prefix_rich'] = $vbphrase["prefix_$thread[prefixid]_title_rich"];

}

You should end up with

Code:

$foruminfo['allowicons'] = 1;

while($thread = $db->fetch_array($threads))

{

        if ($thread['prefixid'])

        {

                $thread['prefix_rich'] = $vbphrase["prefix_$thread[prefixid]_title_rich"];

        }



        $thread['pagetext'] = $thread['preview'];

Then, via ACP Style Manager open the 'af_articlebit' template, and find:

Code:

<h3 style="font: normal normal bold 14px/normal Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; margin: 5px 0px 0px; text-decoration: none;">

Immediately after paste in:

Code:

{vb:var thread.prefix_rich}

Save template and that is that

A really nasty hack to resolve another of the quirks:

Quote:

To do this you need to add an additional option to ACP - Settings - Article Forum Options, where you specify a comma delimited list of all forum ids that are articles forums (i.e. 7,11,15). Call this af_allarticleforums

Then change the Easy Forms - Forms Tab (Process Templates Complete) hook code to read:

Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['af_navbar'])

{

        if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'articles')

        {

                $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'articles'; 

        }

        else if (($vbulletin->GPC['forumid']) && (in_array($vbulletin->GPC['forumid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['af_allarticleforums']))))

        {

                $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'articles'; 

        }

        

        $templater = vB_Template::create('af_navbar');

        $template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= $templater->render();

}

A very nasty hacky way of doing it, but I am trying to avoid rewriting the core of the mod

I have the same problem when I click to try to read the article. When I turn off the hack as you say everything works fine.

Interesting mod, is there a fix for this? Installed.
