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.

Thanks. That fixed the thumbnail problem. As far as the style, it doesn't appear there are many templates, so I'll probably just edit those. I was wondering if it is possible just to use a different style, but it isn't a major deal. Anyone know where I can find a blank PSD of the default buttons so I can make one that matches?

i would use it if you could edit the attachments... thats the only thing bugging me. I use it as a "How To" section, so put the photos in order and with a description underneath (such as Step 1 etc) - if you forget one, or need to edit at a later date.... you can't

- has anyone found a way around this?

Justinlp · #**925** 02-28-2005, 08:22 PM

Is their away I can take all my post of News out of my forum and place them in my article section?

inverted · #**926** 03-02-2005, 01:42 PM

i'm tryign to post articles with images embedded into the article, rather than attached as media. is this possible? can anyone give me a little direction? writing the html code right into the article just showed the code.

Just use standard BB Code (IMG Tags).

inverted · #**928** 03-04-2005, 01:00 PM

thanks... images are working great now.

does anyone know a nice way of getting the articles to all display alphabetically by the article title? also, is there a "article homepage" that would show an alphabetical selection menu like the standard vB memberslist?

thanks again! :ninja:

I upgraded my forum software from 3.0.6 to 3.0.7. Somehow in the process, I disabled some features of v3 Articles. Please look here: http://www.greenhybrid.com/learn/article/3

Not only are the media attachments not showing, but the ratings form isn't there, either. It's like the functions just disappeared. I tried checking to make sure the installation was still in tact, but can't seem to find it. Any help, please?

greenhybrid · #**930** 03-09-2005, 07:00 PM

Will no one respond? I've checked the installation yet another time and am now growing confident that v3 Articles is NOT compatible with vBulletin 3.0.7

Doug22 · #**931** 03-13-2005, 05:03 AM

Okay this may seem like a dumb question but I can't find anywhere to post a new article. I've looked everywhere. Help a noob please.

Oh I'm on 3.07 and have 1.02 installed.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
