v3Articles - vBa CMPS module

v3Article/CMPS Module - Last 10 Articles

This CMPS module uses the excellent v3Article system developed by John Warwick. The module displays the 10 most recent articles submitted, in DESC order, (Last article submitted is first in list).

This module also includes the author of the article with a link to his pubilc profile and how many views the article has had.

You can vie the module in action on the right hand side of http://www.marijuana.com - the module is titled "The Magazine".

http://www.marijuana.com

You'll need to upload the php file to your modules directory and create two new templates named "adv_portal_articles" & "adv_portal_articlesbits". Add the contents of the respective text files to the new templates and save. Next, create the new module using the drop down menu selecting "cmps-articles.php". In the "templates used" field enter the following templates.

adv_portal_articles,
adv_portal_articlesbits

Dont forget to update your index pages(s) to show the new module.

Special thanks to wcbryant, who's help has shed new light on vB development for me. Im very grateful for your code additions and help.

Yeah, the other one requires that you read and follow the instructions.

Nice hack.

Is there any way to use this hack or something like it to show the last 10 articles on the main CMS homepage in the center instead of on the sidebar? I want my ortalhome page to be more like a magazine and less like a forum with articles front and center, can it be done?

Actually, that is the "featured article" and not the "most recent articles" ... And I get the same problem with the featured one but not this hack. It seems to work fine.
