The best way to make this script safer would have been to use the VB code itself. Almost all the portals and other add-ins, utilize the VB code rather than using HTML. It wont make it foolproof, but changing it over to vb code would make it 100x more secure. Anyone can download a kiddie script and run it on the html with no knowledge of anything. However trying to crash a server with VB code would take some expert experience beyond most. That alone would make this script more valuable and allow for less headache worries. The coding to utilize VB code is not very difficult for someone who was able to create a script like this, so why don't consider that? If you did, I would give you a 5 star rating.

Now, you hit the point. Do you think that I'm so crazy to work in something new while there is something ready to use? I wrote it many times before (also in posts for vBnews). I wanted to use vB editor. But as long as, the vB's support team told me that I'm breaking the vB's licence by doing it, I had no other chance than to find (and pay for it) another editor.

And as a way to close it for ever. Why you're asking from me to add vB editor while I don't have permission to do it, and you don't contact the Administrators here to allow me add it? One of them is who replied negative to my support ticket. Just for referrence my details of my support ticket are: Ticketid: 594682 Feb 08th '07 05:50am

Hi,

Just installed the MOD. I've noticed that the vBArticles CP wasn't showing in my vBulletin CP in spite of my logging out and back in. I went and rechecked I had uploaded the php file in the right place. Actually, I hadn't, so I moved it. Yet it's still not showing. Any idea?

Thanks,

Carmella

Have you upload cpnav_vbarticles.xml to your_forum/includes/xml ?

[freewhiteeagle]

Yep! I have.

Hi again,

I figured out what was wrong. Somehow I had uploaded the entire xml folder instead of the separate files. anyhow, vBarticles is now showing in my CP.

However, when I click on 'Add Article', I get the following message:

Warning: main(vbarticles/editor/class.rich.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /vbarticles.php on line 675

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'vbarticles/editor/class.rich.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rawfree/public_html/forum/vbarticles.php on line 675

Any idea?

Thanx

Seems that you had problems during uploading files in your server. Check if the file class.rich.php exists at vbarticles/editor/ and its not "0" bytes.

I had the same problem. It depends on the php versions. Now I have 4.4.6 and everything works. I had the problem with php 4.4.2

Bye!
