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

Thanks. These mods post a lot. But they were all using the same 2 generic icons. So I gave them a huge choice, covering virtually everything. I am not able to locate window.resizeTo(($windowwidth + 150),($windowheight+292)); in image upload.

Sorry to bother you again. How do I maximize? 100% for the width is not doing it. I can scroll only when it's maximized

I love your hack and I use it for most of my forums.
www.fmag.net thank you for that The only problem is that I have to include VERY long list of forumID in 'Comma separated list of forum id's ' Can this be reversed and only include the excluded forums? Something similar to this http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...0842#post40842 Thank you!! |

Excellent hack NailGeek I made an installation and imported the articles from v3articles (around 100 or more) and well everything seems to work great but the only problem i'm experiencing is that when I go to a specifc article, nothing shows, just the reply button..oh and the quick reply box... i updated counters, checked templates (all the templates seem to be there) and searched this thread to see if anyone had a similar problem but I couldnt find the answer... can somenoe point me into the right direction?
thanks in advance.. |

Hey polo. So you used the importer for v3articles?
Those articles ahould now be threads and posts in whatever forum you matched them to. Is this not the case? |

this is a great hack and really easy to install. One question though, how can I get a Post Thread image and Post Reply image to show up? Right now, it's just words, and because of the template, they don't show up very well.

You may have to put them in each style folder you have. |

thanks, that did the trick. Any ideas on how I can edit the buttons to fit my style? I'm using a dark red button set from the vbulletin.com forums. Is there an original somewhere I could edit?
