How do you make different article categories? I really do not want to use the default categories as I have no use for them.

Also, where can I make modifications to the look and feel of the system? I do not see that any templates have been added under the current style that I have been using.

I installed vbArticles on a dev system and something is not working properly.

When I approve an article the redirect sends the browser to the list "Articles Awaiting Approval"

When I then navigate to vbarticles.php either via link our typing the url directly I get redirected to the list "Articles Awaiting Approval" again. I need to close the browser for vbarticles.php to take me to the main article index.

Environment:

Windows 2003 standard server R2 sp1
MySQL 5.0.27
PHP 5.2.1
vB 3.6.4
IE 6

1.- From your admincp->vbArticles->Manage Categories
2.- Look for the template group vbarticles

The redirection is correct. While you're on approving articles is normal after an approval to redirect to the list of the rest articles awaiting approval.
But to say that clicking on the Navbar you're not redirecting to the main page it's strange. Nobody reported something similar.

tommykjensen · #**338** 02-21-2007, 03:31 PM

A slight correction. The link that is displayed "Forums-> Articles" work but if I manually write vbarticles.php in the url the redirect is performed once more. It appears to be the ? on the link that makes the difference.

In other words vbarticles.php? works vbarticles.php do not work.

Thanks for this Mod Made by Mary!

Is it possible to IMPORT articles from specified Forum or just set source forum as article database?
i suggest this option if its not releaset yet

May of found a bug.

I have added a simple htmp that says this in the article message area

HTML Code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
</head>

<p align="center"><i><b><font size="5" color="#FF0000">Holly Smoke!!</font></b></i>
</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http;/www.myforum.com/forums">This is a sweet 
script and seems to work well</a></p>

When I click on the text the link takes me here:
http://www.myforum.com/forums/http;/...rum.com/forums

Instead it should go here
http://www.myforum.com/forums/
