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

er - it was abducted by UFO people.
Ill shove it back into the next package update. If you need a quick fix - move it to a regular forum-split and then move it back. BTW: I have sorted out your quote problem for next update too |

I would love to install this one (am curretly using an older v3 version of this great mod). I've read about the great job that your installer did.
Can the installer also update a future update? I mean, when I update my version to 3.50 and you release a slightly updated version today or tomorrow, is updating an easy job? (can't wait to get this one on my website :banana: ) |

I'm upgrading my old v3 geek article system to the v3.5 with the autoupgrader. Unfortunately the script couldn't edit the files like showthread, printhead, etc.
So now I'm in the manual mode and noticed this: my admin files are not in the admincp folder, but in adminxp. So the installer can't copy the index-file from that folder because he's looking for admincp (while vbulletin advices to rename your admin folder). After installation: when I click on an link to an article or a forumtopic, I receive a "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster" message. This goes for all forums (also those not listed as article forums). |

Do you have safemode on?
If not you may save yourself a load of time by editing the installer and changing the $folderstructure['admincp']="admincp"; to $folderstructure['admincp']="adminxp"; (if that is what was causing it to fail) The problem you mentioned seems to stem from upgraded GAS3's (I think the problem was there in GAS3). Im looking into it now. |

In order to get my forum working again I had to uninstall it and overwrite all edited files with the original files from the gas/backup folder. Now it's working again. |
