WendM-

Yeah I agree, this is a great module to add to one's vBadvanced CMS page. I use vBa for my "splash page" and really wanted this module. However I am running 4.1.3 and so it obviously wouldn't work as-is/as-was.

In doing some poking around on vB.org, bananalive has been around for a while and generates some great mods. I can understand being busy, I'm there practically everyday myself! I can only presume that they're just too friggin busy to get around to this "upgrade" work, if you will. It's kinda like homework that never ends...been there, done that, got the shirt.

Anyway, as a software type I decided to take a stab at porting this to 4.1.3, mostly because - as I mentioned - we could genuinely use it on our forum's splash page. And I was successful. I have a working version of bananalive's vBadvanced Recent Articles module. Attached are a few screen captures. Naturally then came the notion of helping others, mostly bananalive.

Still being new to the vB world, I'm not sure how to proceed about sharing it though. I want to tread lightly, don't want to offend, and don't want to hack anyone off (pardon the pun). The obvious direction would seem to be to create a 4.x mod page and put it there, giving full credit to bananalive.

But I don't know how they'd feel about that. So bananalive, any input? You made a great mod, thanks, and I hope you don't mind that I ported to 4.1.3. I did it for myself only at this point, I haven't shared it with anyone. So let me know how you'd like to proceed and I will do that. (or even if you'd like to proceed at all)

Many thanks,

Jerry
