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

chances are pretty slim to none for this weekend. Mrs Geek is forcing me to get the user management features of my ad system done this weekend so I can start selling ad space on my site.
sorry but I can only do so much and she has supported my extending coding habits so far |

I have a few questions that I couldn't really find the answer to earlier (sorry, but there are 37 pages )
Questions:
I appreciate anybody taking the time to answer these questions and I greatly appreciate the Author making this in the first place, as this is a great tool for sites. |

forum/gas/changes all you needed to do was move the files in the changes folder to their appropriate locations and overwrite the existing ones.. Quote:
what its saying to do is goto your Admincp and goto Languages and Phrases and search for any phrase that has the word gas_ in it and press edit and save it it so all the phrases will appear.. Quote:

Could you please goto http://www.tpcsdl.com/geek/ and tell my webmaster why we are getting 2 warnings and a fatal error when he clicks install for the Geek Article System?
Thanks in advanced. :ermm: |

Sketch42 I think my webmaster realizes the obvious that you pointed out. The 2 warnings and the fatal error messages come when he clicks the install. So how about going back, or anyone for that matter, to http://www.tpcsdl.com/geek/ then clicking on the install.php file and looking at the error and warning messages and then offering your advice please. Thanks |

Well, for starters, I don't think the files are in the right directory. Second, if they don't know that or couldn't figure it out, they probably don't need to be hacking a vb forum.

is that you need to upload all the files in specific directories. i.e the gas3_install.php shoul be uploaded to the admincp folder on the server and than you need to goto www.mySite.com/forums/admincp/gas3_install.php and follow the installation instructions there Quote:
