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.

I have one problem and I cannot figure it out. I did a little page in dreamweaver, and tried to add the article by pasting in the html. I then when into the database and changed the post field by pasting in the html.

As you can see its really stretched, I cannot figure out why though. Can anyone help please?

Many thanks

I too had the same problem, it's caused by the whitespace between the different table tags.

Now it will probably look like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Content
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Change so that it's like this:
<table><tr><td>Content</td></tr></table>

Installation was easy. Thanks!

I had one question tho. Im trying to add an article that contains html.. I enabled html for it but it shows up very very messed up and sometimes even includes smilies. Any way to correct this?

I'm still having trouble with no links showing up under "Article Categories". Any ideas on where to look to fix this? Everything else works fine.

How can I make an uninstall and keep sure that all Article Templates and phrases are deleted and that all table changes are undone?

I want to completly uninstall this hack from a running system.

Can someone please help me with a good and easy description how to do so?
