By John Warwick, Web Development Freelancer (john@eovieinteractive.com)

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.

You're not the first - that's why I recognised the error.

Ok this is gonna sound dumb ... how do I post articles? I can't find anything anywhere on how to post one ... there's no button, nothing, I feel stupid, but just can't find it!!
[edit]Sorry ... I have 2 image directories as I'm using a different skin, I forgot to put the image files in there ... working like a charm now

[/edit]

My images appear as links, not as thumbnails, is there any way of changing this? As far as I am aware my provider has GD2 installed, thumbs work fine on VBB itself.

Again, my goof, sorry bud, you're really looking out for me here, and one more thing, the images aren't centred, is this right? Would there be any way of centering them? Pardon the spelling on the centre thing .....

Check here to see what I mean - you should be able to see the images

Thanks!

Paul M · #**967** 04-20-2005, 08:56 PM

All the images that I can see are centred.

steadicamop · #**968** 04-21-2005, 06:11 AM

I tell ya .... Firefox still has a lot to answer for ..... they don't appear centred in Firefox but no problems at all with IE

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