Nice. Install went well on my test forum with the exception of the one DB adjustment but was fixed after the fix from post #58. I cant wait for v1.3 and all the improvements.

Thank you assassingod!

awesome i have some ideas for the next one

1.user comment feature
1a.once someone has posted a comment the person who made the turorial can reply in like the same box rather than making a whole new box for a comment
2.A more in depth voting system(out of 5 or maybe 10?)
3.on the main tuorials home page each should have total turoials in each section

hmmm any other cool ideas

looks like you have most of this covered awesome job




maybe have like for flash tutorials the allowance of adding .swf file for previewing a tutorail and allow then rather to read the whole thing they could upload a .fla for people to freely download..also is there a way toa dd a thing like for php for actionscript that would be tizight

I love this hack! I am wondering something though. I use vbportal and I was wondering how I could change newsletter.php (see attachment) so I can add the tutorials links to my newsletter like we can add post links to the newsletter in the admin section???
