I'm still having problem with related articles... they just don't show up :S how are those served? maybe I'm missing something

Mary? I've got some problems..

First: people can keep rating, even when they already have given a rate/review. So they can vote 5 times " excellent " on row if they want.
Second: when a category has a "'" (==> ' <==) in it's name, posting an article will give a vB Dbase error.

Please reply .

It would be great if this hack had a subcategory option.

A special version of vbArticles, which is targeting to News Publishing rather to Article Reviews, has been released yesterday. It's name is vbNews and most propably should be also a free version for it too (sure with subcategories option).You can demo it at: http://www.madebymary.com/vbnews.php
Some of the main differences than vbArticles (except supporting subcategories) are:- RSS Feeds- Banners per category- Can be install even as your index page by renaming the file- Supports page breaks with pagination- Admin can setup usergroups for posting per categoryand some others that really I don't remember right now.Maria

I have tried to get a response via your forum, PM on vb.org and your site and via email and no resolution as of yet.

Hi Maria

I have tried your vbarticles before.
There is on thing stoping me for adopting it.

I have 10 subjects (English, Math, History, etc....) I need to have subcategories for every subject. I am running a custom script I made(very basic and I could not integrate it with vb due to my limited knowledge of php and mysql)

I see above that you have a news version of the system, but I think this is a bit different than vbarticles for me to even use it for my purpose.

I think vbarticles is a great system for my purpose, but I am hoping you can release a version that supports subcategories (I have seen so many people requesting this) i am sorry to be the one asking for the 1000000 time.

If you are planning major upgrades do you think a mod for vbarticles is possible to allow subcats?

Please let me know. I will purchase several copies mainly because of subcats and the search features.

Thanks

So far it works. I'm telling my members to PM me if they find anything wrong while posting.

I totally agree with what you're saying, if you made sub-categories for VB-articles, it would be perfect. I wouldn't need the extra functions in the news system.
