Thank you I prefer it like this now

Much simpler too. I gather it is fine to delete articles.php too?

Commenting out lines 36 & 376 in articles.php will take out the double navbar in articles.php but not the showthread.

yep, I was getting the double navbar thing too. Might wanna take that out of articles.php

I'm keeping this one in my *tagged* list :up:

Looks like something that I definitely will use in the near future

Nice idea

Unfortunately i got the ones of vbmary and it still works fine with vb 3.8 version so i dont intend on changing but might use this mode for other purposes.

Another GREAT mod Banana !!!

We LOVE it, Installed and Marked for MOTM

Just a couple of issues.

When we go back to edit a article, the editor window extends over the postbit, and looks kinda crappy. ( I can live with that )

Can we reduce postbit to just Username and avatar, and perhaps a link underneath with the amount of Articles they have created. Their rating etc.

Cheers Big Ears

Looks like an awesome addon! I'll keep an eye on this and install it later. Gratz! Keep up the great work! Nominated for MOTM.

I noticed that the breadcrumbs are wrong in a forum with this enabled. Can anyone verify?

TimberFloorAu · #70 04-20-2009, 07:11 AM

Yes Sole they are incorrect.

ours should be

forum>news>articles

instead we get

forum>articles>news

____________________________

+ we dont get displayed :
most read articles
most commented articles

+ we cannot see how to add categories, as per Bananas Demo.
