Article System

Alright, here's my Beta... Do not even touch this unless you know what you're doing! To upgrade to future versions you WILL have to have a fair amount of knowledge about templates and other things.

I need help with an installer and any feedback and suggestions on things to add/do

An example of it can be found running here.

All code made and testing on VB 3.0.0 and shouldn't have any issues with 3.0.1 or any future releases. This doesn't relay on any Vbulletin templates. The only vbulletin functions it uses is basic template and DB connectivity.

The support on this will be VERY limited. I only need people that know enough to be helpful in tracking down bugs that they may find. I'm very busy during the week. You'll want to edit index.php and add links to any of the admin functions you want.

I covered alot here

NEW STUFF:
Hialls is helping me with the installer and helping add some things that will help you guys use and install this alot easier.

Go ahead and check this system out and tell me what needs to be added and I'll see about adding it to my additions list

Working on it, as always. This and vb-bugs are eating a lot of time. Plus I never claimed to be the world's best coder

As for the two column thing, it's template-driven, so you can change the html output to whatever you want. I'll probably have a couple different examples by the time this whole shooting match is done.

Did you get the pagination down? Did what I sent help at all?

The pagination yes, the splitting not yet. Your method also involves altering the db structure and changing alot of code, so I haven't had a chance to test it yet

LOL.. change it now, or change it later I'm curious to see how else you would do it.

This is already getting me very excited. Any estimate at all on how long this might take?

One other thing, would it be possible to display the articles/reviews on the vBadvanced homepage? And regarding the latest articles thing, is it possible to have 2 different "latest aticles" rows? I suppose this would be possible by installing 2 seperate instances of this hack. Like cheats.php and reviews.php. The reason for this is because I am running a video game cheat & review website.

I keep getting an SQL error everytime i try to edit my pages on this...?

1064 MySQL error... Can someone tell me how to fix this? Even on the pHpMyAdmin is says i have a SYNTAX error in the database...

oops ^ i quoted that cause i liked the idea although my reply to it didn't show up before my Help question.

I'm just wondering here why Htmlarea is being considered. VB 3 comes with a great WSIWYG entry system, why not just include that. It is already inbuilt, does some good stuff. In essence, why reinvent the wheel?

Hey, i installed the hack and everything.

But it says to upload a config.php file (which didnt come with the package) where do i get it?

I tried to copy and paste the confid from my includes folder, which made it work.. but how do i edit the template?
