// Description:
The Tutorial hack 1.3 has much more features that you can possibly imagine!
User permissions, allow or disallow users (and usergroups!) to use the tutorial
section. Tutorial Moderation, want to give approval to tutorials before they appear live on the site? With this feature you can, you can either allow or delete tutorials!
Search feature, now you and your users can search for tutorials easily without the hassle of looking for them!
Add, Delete, Modify catagories to your liking! You have an easy-to-use catagory manager so you dont have to go through any trouble adding catagories.
Allow your users to vote on their favourite tutorials. Good tutorials will be regconized by others! Move, Hide, Edit and Delete - these are some of the tutorial features you as an administrator can do for tutorials. Move a tutorial to another catagory, Hide it temporarily, Edit it and even Delete!
Quick Stats! See which tutorials are hot, and which are not.
Add a whole new level to your site with the Tutorial Hack!

// Upcoming features:
- Favourite Tutorials, users can add tutorials to their favourites page and find
the tutorial quickly!
- Page Numbers
- Users tutorials in profile (Add-on only)

// Notices:
- Sorry for the delay of 1.3
- A vB3 port is being considered, work will only be done on RC2 though, no earlier version will be tested on
- 1.4 will contain the formentioned upcoming features
- As I mention in the instructions, there are 27 templates to add.

To alter your category view as you requested, replace your tuts_catview template with the following.

Code:

{htmldoctype}
<html>
<head>
<title>$bbtitle - Tutorials > $catname[catname]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

<!-- breadcrumb -->
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="{contenttablewidth}" {tableinvisibleextra} align="center">
<tr>
	<td width="100%">
<smallfont><b><a href="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">$bbtitle</a> -
	<a href="tutorials.php?action=home">Tutorials</a></b> > <b>$catname[catname]</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /breadcrumb -->
<normalfont>

<div align="right"><a href="tutorials.php?action=add">Add a tutorial!</a>
</normalfont>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" width="98%" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" nowrap><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Tutorial Name</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Posted</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>By</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Views</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Votes</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
$tutlisting
</table></td></tr></table>

The layout might be slightly different as I've changed it for my own needs.

At present you can't list the number of tutorials in each category on the main tutorial listing page.

I think this should work...

In tutorials.php - After;

PHP Code:


			
require("./global.php");

add...

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {

show_nopermission();

}

IKer · #98 12-19-2003, 07:20 AM

SO cool! Thanks!

Any chance that the edit option comes soon? I think this is a great idea, but before I make it public on my board I need that edit feature - otherwhise I can soooo see the staff having to do the edits - or people just reposting the tutorials :s
