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. |
hmm i did didnt show up tho. im looking into it.
|
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!
|
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.
|
You mean in columns instead Chief ?

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 |
