I've installed: VBstory (0.9 RC1) and followed the instructions carefully. I've disabled the story and placed backup index/online php back again untill this is safe. Goodluck.
Since you bring up about "Is there anything else that you would want?"
Basically, I like your vbstory as it is but it will be nice to have function for members to add the stories themselves instead of bother Admin/Mod. Rating feature and also user's comments feature if possible.
Thanks and it is cool hack, also since you said "Dont install yet" so I will wait until you re done.
Goldknight, depending on how much spare time I have over the next few hours I'll look into letting users add stories. I think this would have to have moderation features so you can choose which stories get displayed.
NuclioN, Tell me, have you in anyway changed the ID numbers for the diffrent user groups on your forum???
Was it a fresh install?
update
I've just fixed the missing username problems.

NuclioN - I think I've solved the puzzle - When you added the story using the admin panel, did you leave the User ID field blank???
When it comes to editing chapters is does two checks, first is to see if the userid of the current user is the same as userid of the chapter author.
The second check is to see if you are a mod or admin.
If either of the above two is true, then you get to edit the chapter.
what I'm guessing is that you did not add a userid when you started the story, making it zero (one of the reason it did not have a username)...
when I visited your site, because I was unregestered my userid would have been set to zero, making my ID and the authors ID match, making it possable for me to edit the chapter.
That is why I could only edit the first, and none of the others because they will automaticly set by the script.
I hope that makes sence????
what I'm still confused about though is the fact you was able to leave it blank, i'm sure that I've set-up the admin to require it, I'll double check.
It's kind of strange to fill in a (your) user id in your own admin panel isn't it. Maybe that was the whole problem, i realy hope so. Why user id, why not just your nickname? I'll try again and if i see any glitches i'll report asap.
oops...forgot...wich file to update with the name correction?
The whole idea of adding a user ID is so that one of your users can submit a story to you for you to add to the site. If it's your story you use your ID, if it's someone elses ID, use their ID number. It's also an important bit of the script if I do the users adding stories add-on.
What I'm still confused about is how you was able to leave it blank in the first place, the script checks for blank ID's??????
I've even tested it myself.
anyway, i'll pack it up and re-release the hack, I've made some changes to the templates so you will have to redo them all again (sorry)
