Article system coming soon!

can't wait

It's more the Vbulletin templates themselves that I need a hand with right now... modifying all the templates themselves to ensure VBulletin multi style compatibility maybe even some if conditionals.

I will need a hand when it comes time to making configuration changes based off of Vbulletin settings.

Just to make sure I understand your proposed hack, will this:

Allow users to post articles?
Allow admin to grant permissions for users to post articles?
List articles by categories?
List articles by author?
Allow comments?
Allow admin to grant permissions for users to post comments?
Could this work like a community blog...where each user has a personal journal for articles?

Sorry if my questions seem dense, but I've learned it's better to ask. And thank you for your willingness to share your work with the rest of us!

And, you might try posting your template questions at the vb template mod site.

It's for admins to post articles currently. I'll have to dig deeper into the user permissions system to figure out how to grant them to specific users.

Take a look at the link to the working version of it. It currently doesn't list articles by author but that's very possible.

Comments I'm currently just having done in a VB thread. It would be pretty easy to add comments, but I want them handled in VB threads.

Community blog won't happen from me. I'm not a fan of blogs. This is a multi page article system which is also good for things like item reviews.

Everybody take a good look at the demo.... I have to finish my standalone version and release it before I can release the Vbulletin build. You guys will be able to install the standalone to start getting some articles in it while you wait for the VB version. Expect that standalone's first release to be Wednesday or Thursday with the VB version following hopefully over the weekend.

Thank you for your response.

Is there a limit to the number of articles that may be written or displayed?

im pretty sure there isnt

Ive been talking with martin (krohnathlonman) for doing an article program for my site and judgeing from how it works so far I doubt there is a limit

its kinda like how vb works, you can post as much as you want

Sounds great. Thanks for the info. Any idea how long a process we might anticipate before something is placed in beta?

Looks great. Cant wait to try it out.

I'm having a late night programming session tonight trying to bring the full VB integrated version into testing on my site tonight.... (The current one is actually a standalone version) With a beta release coming after I've been testing it on my production site for at least a few days.

I can release the standalone with the DB structure and everything in a day or two if anybody would want to start adding articles to the DB preparing for it. It'll also let you see the admin side of things and give me some feedback on variouses processes as I refine them.

It'll be great when something like VBindex is used with this and links then you'll be able to have a true portal!
