You can get articlebot working with vb 3.50 easily.

Make sure you still have the template. "articlebot_post" If not then create it.

PHP Code:

$article[description]

$article[link] 


Next open articlebot.php with your favorite editor. Change every instance of:

• $DB_site-> with $db->
• $vboptions[ with $vbulletin->options[

Do the same in admincp/articlebot_admin.php but also replace globalize( with $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc(


At this point, your article bot should function again.

Now just copy this and save it as cpnav_articlebot.xml and upload it into includes/xml directory. Then you will have your admin options again.

PHP Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<navgroups product="vbulletin">
    <navgroup text="Article Bots" hr="true">
        <navoption>
            <text>Manage Article Bots</text>
            <link>articlebot_admin.php</link>
        </navoption>
        <navoption>
            <text>Add Article Bot</text>
            <link>articlebot_admin.php?do=add</link>
        </navoption>
        <navoption>
            <text>Add RSS to Article Bot</text>
            <link>articlebot_admin.php?do=addrss</link>
        </navoption>
    </navgroup>
</navgroups>

My articles are being written correctly and the admin seems to function. Milage may vary. Enjoy
