vBulletin 3.7 Article Mod

[Ian Cunningham]

I've created a new Windows 7 Discussion website (http://www.w7forums.com), and I've upgraded an article mod I had mothballed many months ago to work with vBulletin 3.7.

Although the forums are already running, the article mod has literally just come out of the coding stage 5 mins ago

I'd be interested to hear feedback on what I could do to improve the article module so that I can get something suitable for use with vBulletin:

Here is the very first (and only) article : http://www.w7forums.com/run-windows-...al-pc-t56.html

So Articles are kinda threads without allowed comments? I see your system automatically creates a discussion thread for the article in another forum. It would be cool if that discussion thread were linked at the bottom of the article - whoops, I just noticed the comments link at the top for that - cool. Is the article only editable by the author?

[Ian Cunningham]

Sorry to the first few viewers, I saw that attachments were disabled for guests - that's fixed.

Yep, the article can only be edited by the author. Also, it will be multipaged like this (http://www.reviewspring.com/reduce-y...sts-a18873.php) once I've moved features over from the old article system.

But thats pretty nice in its current form

Good ideas, FRDS, that right side could do with some more things to fill it up (it's basically empty space at the moment). I like it.

Thanks guys I'll see which of these I can add to the script.

Hm, odd. I've been developing a script which does almost exactly this (in one of it's aspects/features at least).

Nice to see what you've done though.

looks very nice, my only feedback would be on the page with all the threads, for example
http://www.w7forums.com/general-discussion-f2.html
I think the background colors either need to alternate (.alt1 / .alt2. ) or just add a boarder so the threads are separated.

Thanks for the comments I'm going to work on some of these suggestions and ideas next week! If I can package everything into a product then I'll release it in the 3.7 mods section.

Subscribing to the thread - this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to create this!
