Geek Article System 3 - RC1 Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
HowdA All.
The GAS3 system is a comprehensive article system that completely integrates into vB3. History 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:
Planned work:
http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=11287 http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=8801 - pages of comments Difficulty - Medium Time - about 15 minutes File modifications? a few Instructions Click install. Especially as a beta, the package could get important updates that you need to be aware of. Also, as soon as it goes live, I may do the gold release outside of this thread as I dont want to bog down the gold release thread with any beta issues (if there are any). You will need to be aware of when that happens (so click install darnit!) Download the package and unzip. Follow the GAS3_README file to the letter! There is an install script that does most of the work for you. There are several file edits that you will have to do yourself though. When done, go into your admncp, open vBulletin settings, open Geek Articles 3 settings (in the big list where you turn your VB on and off). Troubleshooting:
For the love of Pete - this is a BETA hack. I would therefore backup your DB, your styles, and any of the files the README asks you to change. nJoy Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

I updated the package to 2-06 with this typo fixed. rlamego -> Forgot that option is not wired up all the way yet. I really only put it in for hockeyfan. I'll wire it up most likely tomorrow. What it should do is toggle x amount of comments on all pages OR just the last page (if you remember everyone wanted them on last page only and he wanted the option). Thanks again. |

Oh, ok. That's what I recall from the early dev stages but wasn't sure you changed it.

Another problem, this time with templates. In the GAS_article_pb template, the message/title section of the article is not vertical aligned to the top, so if the article is smaller than the sidebar, it is centered, which is not very article-like. To fix, open up GAS_article_pb and find:
HTML Code:
<td class="alt1"> <!-- message, attachments, sig --> HTML Code:
<td class="alt1" valign="top"> <!-- message, attachments, sig --> |

Bug on installation step 8.7/8.8. Find should either include the "}" in the end, or step 8.8 should get rid of the "}" in the end so it should look like this:

The directions for the printhread edits are off a bit -
HTML Code:
Find : eval('$postbits .= "' . fetch_template($template) . '";'); HTML Code:
8.8 REPLACE with: // === GEEK ARTICLES step 8.6 === // === GEEK ARTICLES step 8.6 === // WAS: //eval('$postbits .= "' . fetch_template('printthreadbit') . '";'); // NOW: eval('$postbits .= "' . fetch_template($template) . '";'); } // === /GEEK ARTICLES === HTML Code:
Find : eval('$postbits .= "' . fetch_template('printthreadbit') . '";'); |
