IMPORTANT:
Please note that I can no longer support this project. Primarily as it is designed for vb3.0.x and I no longer use that version (im obviously on vb3.5x ). There is a version for vb3.5 however its a commercial script. This project is left here for the community.
-----------------------
HowdA All.

The GAS3 system is a comprehensive article system that completely integrates into vB3.

News:
  • Updated 3/08/05 to version 3.53 for compatability with vb3.08
  • Updated 13/05/05 to version 3.52!!! Posts for 3.52 to integrate with GAL4.0 start here
History

Originally, I looked into other article systems to integrate with my forums but just got irritated over and over again as I found the other offering out there very limiting for my needs. I wanted to use my members usergroup permissions, the search facility (so when someone did a search for 'bob' both articles AND threads appeared on one page), I also wanted wysiwyg editing and vBs attachment system. Well, I accomplished 99% of my needs with the Geek Article System 2.0
Why 3.0? While the 2.0 was fine for my needs, many users began asking for a far more complex system that took the beauty of 2.0 and added popular features in the other article systems.

Here are the features in a nutshell:
  • Integrates 100% into vB. No importing forums or creating special groups. Simply mark forum as an 'Article' forum and instantly all threads become articles. Dont like it anymore? Simply remove the ID and the therads and forums go back to normal.
  • Whatever you can do in a thread or post, you can do with the GAS3 system (uploading attachments, smiles, BBcode, various editors, yadayadayada)
  • Adding on the above point: all the differing vB editors (wysiwyg, etc..), usergroup permissions (heck - anything you can set for a forum you can set in this - AND MORE!) why> because it is totally integrated!
  • Create multiple pages in your post by simply putting [BREAK] anywhere in your post.
  • The first thumbnail in an article substitutes the posters avatar (switchable via admincp)
  • Upload header images and have them auto resize
  • Choose header images from a global (or forum specific) gallery
  • Integrated article byline.
  • Synopsis - allows users to give a summary that appears on the new forumdisplay
  • New forumdisplay shows article header image and synopsis (if no synopsis then the first X amount of characters from the article is used)
  • Synopisis allows BBCode
  • Integrates with the Geek AutoLink system (optional)
  • Allows you to post as other users
  • Article sidebar that shows the article rating, your rating, the rating form, article tools, and article attachments (all toggable via admincp)
  • An auto installer/upgrader/uninstaller that makes all file edits for you!
  • A whole host of other tiddlybits that I wont bore you with
Special thanks goes to rlamego, peterska2, Snow, Gldtn, and Magic Spark for private Beta testing this for me. Couldnt of happened without them!

Change log
13.05.05 - updated to 3.52
All this does is update GAS for the GAL4.0 integration.
To update, simply replace your existing functions_geekarticles.php with the one in the latest package.

18.3.05 - updated to 3.51
This really just fixes a couple of mega minor bugs.
Added new default icon per forum functionality (see readme)
Wrote a real README.
Wrote a seperate 3.5x upgrade script. Users of 3.5x should run admincp/gas3_upgrade.php

16.3.05 - updated to 3.50
Loads of new features and a new installer that makes the file changes for you.
New forumdisplay
Uploading of images for your header
Synopsis box
yadayadayda

10.2.05 - updated to 3.02
Fixed typo in readme (step 2.6 referenced $articlebyline instead of $GAS_byline). This bug fixes the disappearing byline when editing an article.
To upgrade - edit your editpost template and search for $articlebyline then replace it with $GAS_byline

Importers
I have made an importer for v3articles. Technically speaking, you dont have to strictly have GAS3 installed to use the importer (though it is ideal). What it does is essentailly import v3articles, comments, ratings, and attachments into existing forums as new threads, replies, threadratings, and post attachments. The idea is that you install GAS3, create the forums to house your articles, and then import your existing v3articles into them (but as I said, you can simply import v3articles into normal forums without having GAS3 installed).
There is also a rollback feature in case you change your mind or experience a problem with the import. Your v3articles installation isnt touched. In fact, no v3articles are harmed in the process

Known issues:
  • none that I am aware of.
Demos: (note that I have a custom skin, so your results will be ever so slightly different)

Difficulty - EASY
Time - about 5 minutes
File modifications? a few but now all done automatically for you

Change log:

Updated to 3.01 Feb 7th
Fixed a couple template errors and minor readme instructions


Instructions

Click install. I have busted my butt over the past few weeks to do this and all I ask is that you click install if you use it
  • Download the package and unzip.
  • Follow the README!
  • Ther installer does all the work for you
  • When done, go into your admncp, and adjust your settings
Troubleshooting:
  • No phrases after install? This happens a lot with many installers for some bizzare reason. All you have to do is do a phrase search for GAS_ , edit the phrase (dont change it), then save it. Bingo - all your phrases appear.
Also:

I would therefore backup your DB, your styles, and any of the files the README asks you to change.

Sorry if this issue has been covered before, but I've been searching for and hour and I can't find a solution.

I just installed GAS 3.52 to my vbulletin site (3.0.8), but I'm not showing any content and the article templates are not displaying fully (see it here) and the article listing doesn't seem to be displaying like it should. Mine looks like this. :ermm:

When I switch the article forum back to act like a forum, the content reappears, but its gone again when its toggled back to act like an article forum.

Other parts the site installation seem to have went well. I see the new module in the admincp and I do seem to be getting the correct "add new article" template, but the button I click to get to it still says "new thread". When GAS is turned off, the entire site functions as it did before the install.

Installed most of the GAS hack using the autoinstaller, (it went through all changes including, the db mods, and template changes) but, since I have SAFE_MODE on, I had to modify the .php files manually. I double and triple checked all the changes to make sure I didn't make any typos.

I've also attached some screenshots. I hope someone knows whats going on here. Please let me know if you need anymore info. Please help. :nervous:

Thank you,
Garret

UPDATE: Got it to work!!! Geek, thanks for the tip! :up:

gmann - those have to be down to file changes - you need to double check through the changes again. Maybe start with a fresh copy

Sketch - yea - but I guess it depends on where. Comments are the same things as replies.

Of course, it would be best to wrap this in a phrase so it doesnt ever say:
there have been 0 comments made or
there have been 1 comments made (that one always annoys me).

Hello,

When I try to write tables within an article, they drop down very far on the page so there is a massive gap from the start of the article, all the way down to where it starts showing the content. I have been reading in the thread looking for why this happens, but haven't seen it. Any suggestions? I am running 3.0.7. These are the first article i am writing useing html, and the html is on for the forum.

The table syntax is 100% accurate. Any ideas?

Here is an example of the code being used:

HTML Code:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="center" width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center">test</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center">test</td>
</tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">test</td><td align="center">test2</td><td align="center">test3</td></tr>
</table>
The more data rows I add, the further down the page it goes.

Im not exactly sure what you mean. Can you post either a link or a screen shot?

All the HTML and BBcode is handled by vb so Im not too sure if I can help you here (but Ill try!)

Hello,

Here is a screen shot:



Now mind you, where the text starts is where the table starts! That space above is actually 4 times the size shown in the picture. I only have this problem in the articles, and the bbcode function doesn't have any problems. Just when I use html.
