I install at my local server, not at net yet. I need to test everything to make sure that it is working. I ll give the url after everything is done.

I m curious about bookmarks, why does it display empty? I add three stories with different stories to test but nothing so far. How can I get it work?

Ok, I log off and couldnt edit or add any stories, that s what you want to know?

[Goldknight]

Oh yeah, I forget to ask you something. I m aware that any members can add the story after the chapter set up by Admin/SuperMod but am I right about any members cannot set up the story unless Admin/SuperMod set up the story first?

The bookmarking system is something that I was going to add to the hack but have decided not to (not for this one anyway). The reason it's still in the template is because I forgot to remove it.

The idea what that users could bookmark a chapter within one of the stories to return to it at a later date.

Now before I go on, I need to make you aware of three diffrent terms used within this script, I need to do this because you question is very confusing, you are using the wrong terms.

Chapter - a chapter is a post within a story, just like chapters in the book, the only diffrence here is that at the end of each chapter you will be presented with two paths to follow, each of which will lead to another chapter.
Story - all of the chapters are split up into stories, the story provides you with all the information you need to start reading such as some background info and the char's name.
Genre - this is like a category into which you place stories.

However, what you have said is correct - at the moment only admins can add stories using the admin CP (soon, this will be mods as well), but once a story has been added, users can then come along and add chapters.

I am however going to be working on a story suggestion feature where users can fill in a form similar to the one you fill-in when adding a story. This info will be placed into the database, but not listed until it's authorised by an admin or a mod (who will receive an email stating that a story has been suggested).

It will be included in the next release, maybe tomorrow....

At first, yes I do understand about chapter, story, and genre. I only question about bookmark itself. Thanks for explain anyway

(I m not speaking english, sorry)

However as for Mod, no need to add since I only copy/paste vbstory_admin.php to Mod folders then edit the Mod/index.php to add the codes from files.txt (under admin/index.php instruction) and it work well. *notice, it is only for SuperMod*

About bookmark template, where do I look for to delete it away so that members will not bother me about that one.

Thanks for everything else

I noticed that you had that problem when I went to your site, but I thort I had solved it with the current release.

I'm just about to release a new one (maybe in a few hours) so my suggestion is to wait for that, and if it still happens, i'll give you a special debug file to try.

NuclioN, I've just tried your site and you are getting an error

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Too many connections in /opt/home/cyberty/www.cyberty.nl/HTML/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

I'd look into that if I was you LOL
