Zipfile removed by the author. Members who have installed it, can download the updated php file at http://www.microhellas.com/vbarticles.rar (Sorry can'y upload .rar file here)
Future installations of vbArticles even from Members who have downloaded it before are prohibited.
A couple of bugs, but perhaps it is just because I have 3.6.2 running?
1) When you have 10+ categories, and you order said categories, it doesn't know that 10 is greater than 9. If you want that 10th category and beyond, you have to use 91, 92, 93+ to numerically "order" the category display.
That's the terrible way on indexing on numeric fields. That's why I'm always starting numbering from 11 or 101 depending on how many items I believe that I'll have.
In any case I think that I'll remove this indexing replacing it by AZ or record number.

That's why I avoid to use vb internal features. First time I decided to use its editor and here are the troubls. Sorry my friend but as you can see at: http://www.madebymary.com/forums/vba...e&articleid=17
I've posted an article and paragraphs and styles (italics, bold, colors) are working fine at 3.6.4
All I can say is that I'm afraid of this hack.... I'm afraid that it will make me feel really stupid I paid for GARS.
I'm going to have to tinker with this
Wait... will this be free or can we just pay to have the copyright removed?
This module, as it's here it's totally free without any time limit. Copyright removal costs $25.
A question now: GARS is a module for vB or a RSS feeds system? If it's the second I'm also bought it for one of my other sites, but this is in different category. My module is not feeds fetcher in any way. Is a community module where users are posting articles (stories) to be reading, reviewing and rating. The commercial version has also multimedia features, but sure none feed fetcher.
It does not check if you've entered a title for the article. I think this should be mandatory.
Also, within the Admin Control Panel --> vbArticles --> Categories page. The Category title is a link, but doesnt link to anything, just goes to a blank page. The link could be removed.

When the title is empty is replacing with ".....", so the links to the article is working. Many users dont like to add, or dont know what to place as title and letting it empty.

Fixed and zip file updated. Just replace vbarticles_admin.php uploading it at your admincp folder. It left behind from the commercial version when I was thinking to add extra fields, but finally I used another methond. Thanks for reporting it.

I still think it should be mandatory. Let's say you've got 100 articles in a category and no one puts a title or short description (neither of which are mandatory at the moment). How will you know what the article is about? You'll just have a list of "..." . Think of the title field like a thread title field.
Also forgot to mention in my previous post.... paragraphs dont work as has been posted by other members. When you submit an article, it forgets you've made paragraphs in your box. Also, the "IMG" button is missing in the article editor. You can however type the [*IMG] tag in yourself, and it works perfectly. Im using Vbulleting 3.6.4, PHP5, MySQL 4.1 if that helps you.

Maybe you'll edit an option in the AdminCP: "User must add title?" - Yes/No
