[ADDON] cinq's vbArticles Latest 3 Featured Articles CMPS Module
 
A small addon to show the latest 3 featured articles on your Portal page.
This add on CMPS module is for cinq's vbArticles Hack v2.0

Hack version 1.1

Install instructions
===========================================

1. Upload the cmps-articles.php file to your modules directory.

2. Create 2 new templates:

a. First template:

adv_portal_articlesbits
Code:
        <tr>
                <td class="$getbgrow" width="100%">
                <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" class="tborder" width="100%">
                <tr>
                <td width="20%" align="center">$articonimg</td>
                <td width="80%" align="left"><span class="smallfont"><b>Title: <a href=$vboptions[bburl]/articles.php?action=viewarticle&artid=$articleid>$title</a></b>
                <br>$summary</span></td>
                </tr>
                </table>
                </td>
        </tr>

            'maxloggedin',
            'smiliecache',
            'userstats'
        )
    ); 
REPLACE WITH
PHP Code:
$specialtemplates = array_merge($specialtemplates, 
        array(
            'adv_modules',
            'adv_portal_opts',
            'attachmentcache',
            'bbcodecache',
            'birthdaycache',
            'eventcache',
            'iconcache',
            'maxloggedin',
            'smiliecache',
            'userstats',
            'vbart_options'
        )
    ); 
Save and upload global.php


b. In your includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php file

FIND
PHP Code:
$portalopts = unserialize($datastore['adv_portal_opts']); 
ADD ABOVE
PHP Code:
$vbart_options = unserialize($datastore['vbart_options']);
unset($datastore['vbart_options']); 
Save and upload includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php


4. Next, create the new module using the drop down menu, selecting "cmps-articles.php".
In the "templates used" field enter the following templates: 'adv_portal_articles, adv_portal_articlesbits'

5. Don't forget to update your index pages(s) to show the new module.

6. Done !

Enjoy :)

Works great, except I had to modify the cmps-articles.php file on line 20 to correct for the image not showing on the home page. They originally showed only if you were within your forums page. Thus, I edited it to this

Code:
$articonimg = "<a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/articles.php?action=viewarticle&artid=".$articleid."\"><img title=\"".$title."\" src=\"$vboptions[bburl]/articles.php?action=thumb&artid=".$articleid."&id=".$articon."\" border=\"0\" width=".$vbart_options['vbartssthumbwidth']."></a>";

Thanks cinq.

And thanks ptmuldoon, I was just going to come report that..

Thanks for the feedback guys, I have editted the file and reuploaded it.

For those who installed this add-on prior to the date/time of this post, just download the attachment again, and upload it, overwriting your existing cmps_articles.php file.

shadiguy1 02-23-2005 11:20 AM
hmm i did didnt show up tho. im looking into it.

cinq 02-25-2005 03:42 AM
Made some code change in the cmps-articles.php file.
If you had previously installed this add-on ( v1.0 ) please download the attachment ( v1.1 ) and upload it to your modules folder, overwriting the old file.

Everything else ( other steps highlighted in the first post ) remains the same.

Cinq, I cannot thank you enough for all the great work you'd put into this Articles system. I love it and it has added so much potential to my site. Thank you!

Chief Corn 02-25-2005 08:39 AM
i'm not the greatest with html, so any chance someone can make a template to list horizontally as is done in the main article index? i'd appreciate it. excellent hack.

cinq 02-28-2005 10:44 AM
You mean in columns instead Chief ?

yannisc 02-28-2005 06:55 PM
Hi!

How can I make the image of the article on the main page be wrapped from the text rather than be left and the text right?

There was a hack that did something similar for the news posts on the vbadvanced cmps. Can we make the same here?

thanks, Yannis
