Geek Article System 3.5 RC2

Woohoo.

This is the RC for the next release of the Geek Article System.
I have decided to take it out of private beta as results from the private beta are taking yonks to come back in. I have fixed all known issues so we should be cooking on gas (hohohahaha).

Special thanks to gltdn for help with beta testing

Install instructions:
Read the readme in the package. Should be straight forward stuff.
It is important to note that THIS IS FOR A CLEAN INSTALL. I will devise an upgrade script when the package is final.

New features:

• Crap loads.
• New Article header image functions (global gallery, forum gallery and uploadable images)
• New forumdisplay/threadbit look and feel
• Synopsis box
• Post as user
• Autolink into the Geek Autolink system
• Turn on/off synopsis/byline
• Auto synopsis (if synopsis is off or left blank, it uses first x amount of posts from article)
• Synopsis uses BB code
• etc...etc...etc

A word about the installer.
This has taken me ages to do. The installer does everything for you (including all file changes). It will make backup copies of all files changed, make the file changes, and leave them in a folder for you to copy over when you are done. This may not work with PHP in safe mode. If you are using PHP in safe mode, you may have to do the changes manually (which you have the option to do anyway).

Click the install button if you install. Otherwise you may miss very important updates.

Missing phrases after install? Just search for a GAS phrase name... edit it, then click save. This will rebuild your phrases.

The zip file is gas3-5_rc2.01 (well I downloaded it and by the time I finished installing it you'd released the next package )

To reproduce the image problem? Well it's not something that is occuring with new articles if you know what I mean. It's with the previous articles from your GAS 3.0x version. I had selected in that previous version that the user's avatar be used and not the first image or whatever the other option was. It just seems that it hasn't updated in this new version and it's still showing the users avatar until I edit and save the article in order to update it.

When I say I did a clean install I didn't remove any template edits or mess with the database, I only used un-hacked copies of the actual files. Could it be this has caused the problem?

Snow - more than likely. There was an old bug that stored the default image in the table - but that was fixed a few days ago. Maybe that was wigging it out.
