Geek Article System 3.52 Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
IMPORTANT:
Please note that I can no longer support this project. Primarily as it is designed for vb3.0.x and I no longer use that version (im obviously on vb3.5x ). There is a version for vb3.5 however its a commercial script. This project is left here for the community. ----------------------- HowdA All. The GAS3 system is a comprehensive article system that completely integrates into vB3. News:
Originally, I looked into other article systems to integrate with my forums but just got irritated over and over again as I found the other offering out there very limiting for my needs. I wanted to use my members usergroup permissions, the search facility (so when someone did a search for 'bob' both articles AND threads appeared on one page), I also wanted wysiwyg editing and vBs attachment system. Well, I accomplished 99% of my needs with the Geek Article System 2.0 Why 3.0? While the 2.0 was fine for my needs, many users began asking for a far more complex system that took the beauty of 2.0 and added popular features in the other article systems. Here are the features in a nutshell:
Change log 13.05.05 - updated to 3.52 All this does is update GAS for the GAL4.0 integration. To update, simply replace your existing functions_geekarticles.php with the one in the latest package. 18.3.05 - updated to 3.51 This really just fixes a couple of mega minor bugs. Added new default icon per forum functionality (see readme) Wrote a real README. Wrote a seperate 3.5x upgrade script. Users of 3.5x should run admincp/gas3_upgrade.php 16.3.05 - updated to 3.50 Loads of new features and a new installer that makes the file changes for you. New forumdisplay Uploading of images for your header Synopsis box yadayadayda 10.2.05 - updated to 3.02 Fixed typo in readme (step 2.6 referenced $articlebyline instead of $GAS_byline). This bug fixes the disappearing byline when editing an article. To upgrade - edit your editpost template and search for $articlebyline then replace it with $GAS_byline Importers I have made an importer for v3articles. Technically speaking, you dont have to strictly have GAS3 installed to use the importer (though it is ideal). What it does is essentailly import v3articles, comments, ratings, and attachments into existing forums as new threads, replies, threadratings, and post attachments. The idea is that you install GAS3, create the forums to house your articles, and then import your existing v3articles into them (but as I said, you can simply import v3articles into normal forums without having GAS3 installed). There is also a rollback feature in case you change your mind or experience a problem with the import. Your v3articles installation isnt touched. In fact, no v3articles are harmed in the process Known issues:
http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=11287 http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=8801 - pages with comments (click View Comments to see comments only) Difficulty - EASY Time - about 5 minutes File modifications? a few but now all done automatically for you Change log: Updated to 3.01 Feb 7th Fixed a couple template errors and minor readme instructions Instructions Click install. I have busted my butt over the past few weeks to do this and all I ask is that you click install if you use it
I would therefore backup your DB, your styles, and any of the files the README asks you to change. nJoy Show Your Support

Geek I am having an issue that seems to be only with GAS.
When I post an article and I placed an image plus autolink comma separated, on submit I get a blank page. When I look, article is posted with small image, but attachment is not. I am able to post attachmnet on editpost. I am saying GAS because it does not happen the normal newthread way. And I am saying autolink because I have been posting hundreds of articles with GAS, no problems. The only new thing today was comma in autolink, accent on a word, and first time using autolink in article since autolink upgraded. I had used autolink before in GAS with no problem. |

Geek, now that GaL 4 is released you may have some more time to look into this.
There's still the issue of the size tags showing up in the "description" overview. I'm not sure how far you got into looking into that issue, just reminding you again. I am also having a problem with the Article Image. Sometimes they do not resize as a thumbnail so when the article is posted with a large image it stretches the page out. Just a little odd that sometimes it does resize, but sometimes it doesn't? Just thought I'd let you know. EDIT! Before I forget, I have a suggestion for 3.51/4.0/whatever next release. With the GAL addon feature, allow us to also post the popup description rather than just the keywords. |

hmmm. Lionel it does sound like a compatability problem between GAS 3.51 and GAL 4.
Ill sort that out. KT- Good idea - ill see what I can do (most likely kill both birds with 1 stone) However Im not sure about the thumbnail resize issue - I havent seen it yet. Can you get a predictable reproduction fo rme to check out? |

I wish I had a prediction, but I don't. I went to check and see if it didn't resize certain file types but that's not the case cause a prior image of the same was resized perfectly.
Here is the latest one added that you can see: http://www.keepthembleeding.net/foru...splay.php?f=13 It's .jpg, but the one below it was .jpg too and resized fine. I'm stumped. hah Oh, also.. I'm not sure if this is a vBulletin thing or not.. but if you look closely at the title it says "New NILE CD" which I have since renamed to just "Nile" but it doesn't seem to update on the forumdisplay. |

I had the hack installed and working without problems. Now all of a sudden it get an error message when trying to view threads. I did not edit any files and neither did anyone else (as im the only one who has ftp access).

Give a snippet of that section, say lines 655 to 675 in 'code' tags.

Okay, I haven't used this hack, but somewhere that function should be defined. If you search for it in the file does it show up any other times?
I found this function defined in functions_gal.php I don't use the autolinker though. I'm assuming that file is in your fourm path and called at some point. You may need to wait for Geek to help you, unless you can follow the code and see what broke. |
