Background
Required a section on my site to display articles/tutorials
No such hack in the Hacks Database
Decided to try my hand at it


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This hack uses a lot of code from Arunan Sridharan's vB Links Directory v2.0
I use that hack too and was inspired to code something around that
A big thank-you must go out to him for coding the Links Directory in the first place (I merely modified much of the code to suit my needs for this hack)

Appreciation also goes out to Kars10 for aiding me in this hack
He coded the portion in version 0.3 on number of articles count as well as article hits count
He also suggested several template changes which have been incoporated into version 0.3
A great big special shout out to TheComputerGuy, 97cobracpe, dontpanic for stamping out the bugs with your fixes. Thanks guys

ive installed version 0.2 but when i try and add an article the submit button doesnt work.

You can click it and thats about it, doesnt do anything
Repec , could you check your template vbArticles_addnewarticle.

Better still overwrite it with this one ( same one taken from the template folder in the zip file )
