// 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!

$tutvoteno is called in tutorials.php so it should be. I'll look into it

[Areku]

Well, may be u can add some switches like: ALLOW BBCODE yes/no? ALLOW HTML yes/no?

Thanks for the fixes.

Right now I NEED BOTH Html and BB codes, for example.

[Areku]

And for tutno....

I guess you condition it to a YES until someone votes it YES? Until then, NO does not appear?

[assassingod]

Yes, this way it prevents users from being able to give a vote a minus number.

[Areku]

They still could do it by calling the URL intentionally I guess



About the search feature... which field(s) does it search the text into?

I didn't manage to get any results using keywords found on title nor in content itself...

[assassingod]

It searches using the tutorial title. I have had little troubles with it but 75% of the time I found what I needed to. 1.4 will contain a better search.

[Areku]

So will we have a fix for the bbcode parsing problem or shall we wait for 1.4? If so, when do u schedule 1.4?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Until I start on 1.4, I will provide fixes in this thread

And for a release date for 1.4, I cannot say.

[IKer]

Big thx for 1.3 releaze

[Areku]

IKER is it working correctly for you?

AM I the only one having installed 1.3?

Am I the only one having problems with content parsing?

Thanks!

[Exero]

is there one for vb3?

[surfhog]

assassingod, I realise that you are a very busy beaver

Could you give me some ideas of how I might be able to use something simular this on vb3 please.

Would it be something like adding additional web pages and linking them into the forum??

thanks for your time

[Areku]

a fix for the parsing problem would be AWESOME too

[assassingod]

Sorry for not getting back to anyone about updates for this hack - been a bit busy. Will work on everything tonight.

[Areku]

Cool thanks!
