It's a module for vbAdvanced showing the categories in list mode
Hey Mary,
the mod you made here is really awsome! I have some questions & suggestions for the future:
1) Is there a possibility to get a page like your index.php?page=vbavbarticles without having vbadvanced installed? I don't use it nor any other portal system. Others users don't use vbadvanced as well. Could you create a .php where all the boxes from your index.php?page=vbavbarticles show up in a similar way?
2) How can I add a "Articles posted: X" and a "Top Author-Award" to my postbit template? which variables do i need?
3) Is there a possibility to show a toplist of authors, articles and new articles in vbarticles? I miss that feature. There should be a link to such toplists at the "top authors", "top articles" and "new articles" titels on the vbarticle mainpage.
Negative and I'll never let editing the body article by anybody. That's illegal. Nobody can change a text (so the meaning too) of a post which has a signature of another person.
i really really really wish admin could edit the body of the articles, for one, its NOT illegal, if so vB itself would not exist, admins have the ability to edit any post
#2 example: a user spends the time to write a review and for whatever reason the user never comes back, and he has hotlinked to an image and the host of the image changes it to another image or the link goes dead, then admin can only move or delete a great review because he cannot edit the review
#3 example: same premise as above, a user posts a great review for a product with an external link to another website, that website changes ownership and now the link points to a porn site, instead of admin editing the review itself by simply taking the link out or changing it to a proper link, the admin is forced to delete a perfectly good review because the original user in no longer a member
I must agree the not having the ability to edit entries is a killer on this mod. I'm not about sit around and approve everything submitted by 3000 members. Not only would it severely delay the posting process it would be a real PITA. A few of my members are also allergic to spell checkers. Being able to edit something to make it readable is a necessity.
i agree with VIC...
and we still need the photo posting problem addressed..
or am i the only one with that problem? Vic?
photo-posting works perfectly for me.
i agree to the fact that an admin is responsible for all text and grafic at a webpage so he has to have "edit"-permissions on articles. this fact should be published to everyone that wants to publish an article via vbarticles. the examples dsotmoon posted are perfect. as admin you can edit every single thread and post. why not add a forced "edited by [AdminName]"-tag when admin edits an article, instead of completely forbitting the edit-feature.
