Geek Article System 3.52 Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
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:
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:
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:
http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=11287 http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=8801 - pages with comments (click View Comments to see comments only) 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
I would therefore backup your DB, your styles, and any of the files the README asks you to change. nJoy Show Your Support

Hate to say it - but even with the login you provided me. Everything looks the same. (both in IE and FF).

Another problem.
The line in showthread.php: Code:
exec_header_redirect("showthread.php?$session[sessionurl_js]p=$getlastpost[postid]$highlightwords#post$getlastpost[postid]&conly=$commentsonly"); I think the software chokes on the & after a #. |

Thats not why... There is a bug that I have fixed in the next release where clicking the last reply link doesnt make it jump to the last reply
Minor issue but I cant update till next release. Sorry |

Anyways, removing the &-code fixes the problem for me right now so it must be related somehow.

And let me congratulate you on GAS3 - it is a supreme advance compared to the old system.

huh. Thats odd (though in a way it does kind of make sense). Anyhow. Glad its working and glad you dig it. It is a MAJOR advancement on 2.0 in fact - its a completely different system dont you think (hint hint admins).

Yes it's completely different.
I just found out there's a teeny weeny problem with it, though. When someone replies to an article (ie, makes a comment), the article is listed in the "Latest topics" list in the vBa CMPS. This is fine...however, when you click on the link (which goes to the last thread) then the only thing shown is the comments. Check it out - link to article: http://www.hypography.com/sciencefor...t=1698&conly=0 link to last post (copied from the "Latest threads" thingy in my right column): http://www.hypography.com/sciencefor...astpost&t=1698 I have enabled the "comments on last page" thing but the comments show fine when I view the article itself. This behaviour is a bit strange and also makes it difficult for readers to understand what's going on if the first thing they see is the comment...! |
