Hack: vBadvanced CMPS Latest Geek Articles
Version: 1.0
Author: Me

Instructions:
upload modules/latestgeekarticles.php into modules folder
upload admincp/latestgeekarticles_install.php into admincp folder
run above file
Follow the slight file modifications in the README.

File modifications: 1
Template modifications: 0
Installer: Yup. A very cool one.
Phrased: Yup

In a nutshell, this module is based upon the vBa Latest Topics module, but is instead set up to pull the 'Latest articles' from a specified forum. This is really designed for those using The Geek Article System.

Check out the Readme that comes in the package.

Change Log
version 1.3 uploaded 02/02/05
Minor update to module in order to work with new vBaCMPS release

version 1.2 uploaded 07/01/05
Fixed 'Excluded Forums' bug that appeared to have been bitten by Zombie.
It came back to haunt one user so I had to take drastic action and update it.
It now WORKS with your 'excluded forums' setting. That is to say, you can exclude your acticle forums from 'Latest topics' but they will still happily appear in Latest Articles.
Please note that this means there is now a file edit. Please read the README.

version 1.1 uploaded 07/01/05
Fixed bug where when users had vba excluded forums set, it caused a query error. To fix, download latest package and upload latest modules/latestgeektopics.php overwriting your old one.


note:if you dig this module, you may be interested in the Featured/Random Articles one too.

PS: Your template will be a tad different from my screen shot as this is for my style.

In the instructions for this it says to find:

Code:
if ($shownewpm)
{
	eval('$pmscript = "' . fetch_template('pm_popup_script') . '";');
	$footer .= str_replace('"private.php', '"' . $vboptions['bburl'] . '/private.php', $pmscript);
}
I don't seem to have that anywhere in my vba_cmps_include_bottom.php file.
As such where do I add "unset($fperms);" to now?
Looks like that was removed in 1.0.1

Do the replace in that step, but dont put the unset($fperms); anywhere.
BTW: Your templates need to be prefixed.

PS - please click install if you have installed this mod

I've tried everything I can think of.. It's active on all pages, every usergroup is set to view it, but it doesn't come up.

Do I have the settings incorrect?

When I created the page I didn't use the templates just the file.

See attached.

I think because you specified the file you don't need to specify the templates used. Could be wrong though.

Hmm, very strange.

I know it's set on for all my pages, and the module itself is active.
IF I deactivate the article module, then the module below it changes color from "alt1" to "alt2".. so I guess it's reading something there? :/

Have you written an article and specified which forum number to use to pull articles from?

Yes, I have several article contents added.

I figured out the problem though. I'm an idiot and either didn't see this part in the readme, or skimmed through it.. but I didn't notice the Geek settings under the vBA CMPS general settings.

Got it all sorted though, thanks for the help.

Is there a way to make it so when an article gets a comment, it's not brought to the top of the "latest article" module?
