Geek Article System 2.0 (lite)

This hack is a simple and effective (but lighter) version of the very popular Geek Article System 3.0 .
This is actually the first Geek Article System which I still support as it offers people who dont need all the whistles and bells of the larger version (multipage, sidebar, bylines) in a far simpler nutshell.

The key reason for me crating GAS was that I wanted my articles (I also use them as tutorials) to be searchable and reside within the Froums. So I made this simple hack. It may not be all singing and dancing, but I think it can moonwalk with the best of them.

Difficulty to install: A cinch
Time to install: ~5 minutes (if that)
Installer: yup

UPDATE v.2c (17/01/2004)
Fixed rouge phrase that didnt install right.

UPDATE v.2 (04/01/2004)
Removed some left over html in geek_postbit_article that was for my style. The extra HTML that was in there may wack out your layout a touch.
Added a missing phrase (geek_articles_rate_this_article)
Installs either English or French phrases (thanks to cclaerhout)

UPDATE V. 2 (03/01/2004)
Added 2 more templates: showthread and forumdisplay variants (though these are much more subtle... mostly phrase changes
Added a couple of buttons (comments and new article)
Grouped phrases into their own lot

UPDATE V. 1.5 (14/12/2004)
Creted a Zip file with installer and ReadMe
Phrased the postbit.
Thats about it.

I am not using cpanel. I was having the error on all showthread pages.

I don't see how this is any different than the exiting postbit (Other than the "Written By"). Can you spell it out for me? When posting a new article, do we get the option to put in the Article's author (in case we are posting somebody elses article)???

See the demo-> http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=8801

The first post and subsequent posts are all changed. No, you can't put in someone elses name. All this does is substitute the postbits for first and susequent posts in forums you specify in phpinclude_start

I noticed that the 3 people who got this error were from Germany. When I looked into it I just installed this language detecting hack-> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59564 but didnt put in the correct language ID for german.

Anyway... apologies... should work now. http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=8801
