// 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!

This is brilliant, Nice one mate seeing as you've seriously been working hard on this. This would be nice to have on this site so people can add their own tutorials for like using things on vB or php advice etc.

im using it for car tutorials step by step guides etc

[surfhog]

hehe maybe this wasn't a good choose as a first hack to accomplish?

I have installed it and I get this message "Your account has been disabled for posting tutorials." when I attempt to post a tutorial

Should this installation show my current style or is it just for the vb default style?

I guess I have missed something very stupid here, could some kind sole please enlighten me.

[assassingod]

surfhog, I realized that when coding the templates that I hardcoded in the colours in so i'll change that soon

corsacrazy, cheers

Everyone else, thanks for the positive feedback

[surfhog]

ops!! OK that assassingod really nice hack though Brilliant idea

How would I overcome this message "Your account has been disabled for posting tutorials" Please!

Have I missed something silly?

Should I have like an option in the ACP to select Allow/Disallow or something, maybe?

Thanks again

I will stop with my hacking, yours seems promising.

When you edit a user, you should get an option to change whether they can post tutorials or not (It should be set to 'yes' anyway)

Ok and tahnks again assassingod

You are 100% correct I did find that bit, I am getting sql errors now

rofl no problems I am enjoying myself anyway, considering this is my first attempt at hacking vb haha - "newbies" - you just don't need'em do you lol

Still a great hack

I will use that to allow my users posting articles.
Will you port that to vB3 and will you continue working on that (ab to post comments etc.) ??
