INTRODUCTION
v3 Articles was originally written for the fine people at www.DodgeTalk.com, for use with their vBulletin forum. The purpose of this add-on is to provide a place in vBulletin for articles (e.g. news, reviews, editorials) similar to that of the thread interface - but with a more content-oriented approach.

Features:
- Usergroup based permissions
- Full editing/deletion/moderation system
- Article attachments
- Article ratings
- Comments system
- "Featured Article" system, give great articles top exposure
- Introduction and category description text
- Smilies and icons
- Full BBCODE/WYSIWYG support
- Attachment captions
- Full page navigation for articles and comments
- Comment dupe checking
- Status icons
- View users' ratings in their comments

Alternatively, check the screenshots!

I've tried to make the installation as quick and painless as possible. Enjoy!


WORKING DEMO
You can see a working demo of v3 Articles at www.v3articles.com. (Part of the v3 Arcade website.)


MANY THANKS
- Ron Wilson, of DodgeTalk.com
- Everyone on v3Arcade.com who donated to keep the server running


SUPPORT
Support can be found in the v3 Articles thread on vBulletin.org, and shortly on v3arcade.com. (I'll set up a priority support system.) As always, I'll happily give support for real problems. However, a lot of the time people ask questions about things which have already been answered hundreds of times. If you have a problem caused by not reading through the instructions or checking through the support thread, I can't guarantee a response.


DONATIONS
v3 Articles is free, but my server isn't! Any donations are hugely appreciated in order to help me keep my v3 sites running. (PayPal: john@eovie.com). Many thanks to those who donate!
If you're looking for someone to install v3 Articles for you, email me at john@eovieinteractive.com.


PLEASE CLICK INSTALL
Needless to say, if you install this please click the "Install" button. Thanks.

Hi,

I have installed this on VB3.0.3 - and am having issues - sorry !!
It is a clean install of this hack...

When I navigate to the article.php - and then click on either 'Main Catagory' or 'Main Sub-Catagory' - I get an SQL error as follows...

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM article
WHERE categoryid=2 AND (articleuserid=1 OR open IN (0,1)) ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 0,
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 2

mysql error number: 1064

Also - I can't see any buttons for adding a new Article - I figure they are on the next page but cant get that far because of this error...

I have removed and re-added using the install file - but still the same

Sorry - any assistance greatly appreciated
Cheer

Nice work John, I'm using it on my personal site.
One thing I noticed though... I don't believe I'm the one that created your templates.

[Koutaru]

I've noticed a really small thing, when you comment, the "" and & shows a HTML standard code. ?_? Anyway to fix?

[spence2]

Is there any chance that this wonderful hack will be updated to work with vB3.03?

[TTG]

Clicked install .. great hack .. will prove very useful .. added today and now playing around with it and had no problems.

Installation instructions easy to follow.

Edited / added a couple of changed graphics to fit my theme and all now working well.

If you successfully install this hack, could you please mention in your "thank you" to John which version of vB you are using?

'Just trying to confirm that it works without further modifications on vB3.03 ... thanks for the info!
