vB CMS Capabilities
 

Hey guys. First, I want to state I have read the article at this link which is commonly linked in these threads. I have some questions not covered in these articles.

First, is there any way to have threads from a forum display as the main page? Example: We have an announcement forum. I have tried playing with it but I cannot seem to find out how to link them.

Second, there is an outdated article for how to create php pages. It says there is a new php content type, but the only thing I can create are articles. Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated. :)

You can promote an post/thread on any forum to the main page. On my site we use the CMS often and when one of the writes produces an article they write it in the appropriate forum and then promote it to the front page. This give users 2 spots to read the articles and make comments on it.

Ahh, I see that now. I think I might switch to vBA CMPS. vB CMS isn't too user friendly and lacks some basic behaviors I'd like to use. Thanks for you input Andrew.

As far as I know vBA CMPS is no longer supported. I believe that pretty much everything at vBAdvanced has gone downhill, so you may want to keep in mind that if you have a problem you will likely not be able to get support or be able to fix it if it needs to be fixed.

Yeah their site is no longer up anymore, so it is gone. :(

Oh wow really? Holy........Glad I downloaded the vBA Links I bought and got the last version they had.....

Their site is online. Its how I downloaded the mod.

Strange, it is down in FF for me, but not IceDragon. :confused:

Chris I see it in FF just fine I'm using FF 34.0.5.

There is still the issue of the site not really being manned for support though. Its something to think about. It really depends on how good you are with figuring out and fixing things in the site.

I tried out both and both have functionality I like, just not together and neither quite works how I'd like it to. More research I guess.
