INTRODUCTION
v3 Articles was originally written for the fine people at www.DodgeTalk.com, for use with their vBulletin forum. The purpose of this add-on is to provide a place in vBulletin for articles (e.g. news, reviews, editorials) similar to that of the thread interface - but with a more content-oriented approach.

Features:
- Usergroup based permissions
- Full editing/deletion/moderation system
- Article attachments
- Article ratings
- Comments system
- "Featured Article" system, give great articles top exposure
- Introduction and category description text
- Smilies and icons
- Full BBCODE/WYSIWYG support
- Attachment captions
- Full page navigation for articles and comments
- Comment dupe checking
- Status icons
- View users' ratings in their comments

Alternatively, check the screenshots!

I've tried to make the installation as quick and painless as possible. Enjoy!


WORKING DEMO
You can see a working demo of v3 Articles at www.v3articles.com. (Part of the v3 Arcade website.)


MANY THANKS
- Ron Wilson, of DodgeTalk.com
- Everyone on v3Arcade.com who donated to keep the server running


SUPPORT
Support can be found in the v3 Articles thread on vBulletin.org, and shortly on v3arcade.com. (I'll set up a priority support system.) As always, I'll happily give support for real problems. However, a lot of the time people ask questions about things which have already been answered hundreds of times. If you have a problem caused by not reading through the instructions or checking through the support thread, I can't guarantee a response.


DONATIONS
v3 Articles is free, but my server isn't! Any donations are hugely appreciated in order to help me keep my v3 sites running. (PayPal: john@eovie.com). Many thanks to those who donate!
If you're looking for someone to install v3 Articles for you, email me at john@eovieinteractive.com.


PLEASE CLICK INSTALL
Needless to say, if you install this please click the "Install" button. Thanks.

What extra mods might be required to get this to run "fully" with CMPS?

I've installed it and everything works just fine - but I dont have any admin functions in AdminCP - ie, all my links are there for admin functions on CMPS, vbChat, etc - but nothing that says "Articles" on it. I know its working correctly because if I go to www.domain.com/articles.php the page is there.

EDIT:that probably isnt very clear is it? What I mean is there is no "Articles" section appearing in the left column of the AdminCP.

Thankyou for any help.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

If its already been posted, I'm sorry for asking it again, but to go through 50-odd threads and find it - nightmare.

Have you actually done the edit to the admincp index file ?

When I look the live demo and I click the comments column it is the same thing as the article column. also when I sign up as forum member now I am restricted from seeing the page but when I just come in as a guest it let s me see it. So I am cofused.

Well, you can reverse all the file edits in the instructions, and remove the article files, but that still leaves the database tables in you mysql.

Is there any script to run, so i can erase them as well?

Sorry, I haven't had the time to release and support it. If I can find the time I will, but I can't promise anything.
