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.

John rather trashes other peoples work, even when it's their first attempt.

Way to go John.

Is there any way to take current threads and make them into articles?

Somebody with vB.3.0.0 and this hack works? I think no...

[cclaerhout]

Once upon a time there was a great hack,
Which we used to pray for having it.
Remember how we waited it for weeks,
And dreamed of all the great things we could do.
Refrain:
Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end,
We'd cry and hope for-ever and a day,
We'd live the life he choose,
We'd fight and always lose,
For we were young and sure to have to wait.
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

sorry i'm becoming mad :-D

You guys are a joke !

At what point did you pay for this software - pay for the support you expect ?
I am thinking never !

People like you all moaning on puts coders like John off coding stuff - because he doesn't need the grief from ingrates...

Three options

1, Uninstall
2, Create one yourself that is better then offer it for free, support the whole lot then judge
3, Keep your mouths shut and be thankful for people less selfish than yourself !

You pay for it - you can complain - till then suck it up and move on..

Sorry that was off topic - but it really grates on me seeing people like that

I was just about to say pretty much the same thing (maybe a little bit more eloquently, but still pretty much the same thing). I'd like to see this thing come along a bit quicker too, but damn.

When someone states: "I Agree to Support This Hack"
When someone states: "I have created an update & will post it."

Then, I'm sorry, but there is a credibility gap when they do not!

Why is it "demanding" to expect someone to keep their word? If there is a delay or a change of plans, couldn't John simply post that new information?

Three More Options:
1. Mind your own business.
2. Repeat step 1.
3. Repeat step 2.
