// 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!

Thanks for the update!

I get this tho....

Invalid SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) as total
FROM tutorials
WHERE tutcat ='7' and tutmodded = '1'
mysql error: Unknown column 'tutmodded' in 'where clause'

[assassingod]

Run this query:
[sql]
ALTER TABLE tutorials ADD tutmodded INT(6)
[/SQL]

[bandersen]

Yes, now it works!
But I lost all the tutorials already in there.....

[assassingod]

Really? How odd. Did you do anything else?

[bandersen]

No...
They just got zero'd out sort of...

If I look in the admin panel I can still see the stats, like there should be something there, but if I click the link for most viewed tutorial.... it takes me to view a tutorial that is not there.

[assassingod]

They might be unmoderated. Go to the moderation page in the AdminCP, see if they are there.

[bandersen]

No unmoderated tuts.
10 tutorials (0 unmoderated)

edit: and if I click edit tutorial in the ADminCP... I can read the actual tut

[assassingod]

Run this query:
[SQL]
SELECT *
FROM tutorials
[/SQL]

See if there is a result. Hopefully they are still in the database.

[bandersen]

That did not help...

If I enter tut manager - modify - I can see them listed. If I click a link - I do see the actual tutorial text... so I guess they are there...
Everything looks OK in the adminCP.

[assassingod]

But did you get any results from the query?
