WOW, I'm loving this, and if it works the way I hope it does, I plan on purchasing 2 instances of the commercial version for my upcoming sites.
Questions:
- How is vBNews different from vB Articles?
- I would be interested in using vbNews as my index page, as you have it here:
http://www.madebymary.com/vbnews.php , would it be possible to also display information from the forums on the index page (ie: recent posts)
- I'm unclear about how the navigation in the upper left corner works. Is it auto-generated by the categories, or is the navigation manually designated?
- Can an article be posted (automatically) in more than one category?
- I see a search box for 'key words'. Are these added by the author at the time they write the article? Do they appear anywhere at the end or beginning of the article? Are they 'clickable' (in other words, assuming the keywords appear within an article, can a user click on the key word and then see a list of articles with that keyword?)
- Will the DIGG mod work with vBNews?
- How specific are the author permissions?
Ideally, I would like to restrict posting of articles to one user group. Within that group, authors would only be able to edit their own articles. Is that possible?
- When, oh when, will your "club" mod be completed?? It sounds awesome!
But in the meantime, I cannot tell you how happy I am to find vBNews. Simply Brilliant!
