// 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!

Any update on the next version?

[assassingod]

It's currently being worked on as we speak, the adminisitrative CP end is complete and the user-end is not far off it

[Areku]

Be sure to rename CATAGORYS to CATEGORIES

Btw, is there any easy way to enable HTML output support for 1.3a?

Since tutorials are moderated, I can't see why HTML should be off...


Thanks!

[Areku]

Bah,

found myself :P

Just change

$tut['text'] = bbcodeparse2($tut['tutpagetext'],0,1,1,1);

to

$tut['text'] = bbcodeparse2($tut['tutpagetext'],1,1,1,1);

in tutorials.php

Yes that's been sorted hehe

[Areku]

Could u help me out splitting output (tutorials list) onto two colums?

I.e.

category tutorials icon category tutorials icon
category tutorials icon category tutorials icon
category tutorials icon category tutorials icon
category tutorials icon category tutorials icon

[assassingod]

I'll take a look into this if I have time It's a good idea too

[Areku]

If you can let me know where do you "paint" the column so I can try sorting this out too.. .

[assassingod]

Line 25-52 of tutorials.php is how the categories are displayed. (If I understoof your post)

[Areku]

I think u understood me, however, those lines do check how many tutorials are ok to be displayed and in which color to paint each line...

Since this is in a WHILE statement I can't see how to distribute it equally on two columns...

Any ideas?
