Article System

Alright, here's my Beta... Do not even touch this unless you know what you're doing! To upgrade to future versions you WILL have to have a fair amount of knowledge about templates and other things.

I need help with an installer and any feedback and suggestions on things to add/do

An example of it can be found running here.

All code made and testing on VB 3.0.0 and shouldn't have any issues with 3.0.1 or any future releases. This doesn't relay on any Vbulletin templates. The only vbulletin functions it uses is basic template and DB connectivity.

The support on this will be VERY limited. I only need people that know enough to be helpful in tracking down bugs that they may find. I'm very busy during the week. You'll want to edit index.php and add links to any of the admin functions you want.

I covered alot here

NEW STUFF:
Hialls is helping me with the installer and helping add some things that will help you guys use and install this alot easier.

Go ahead and check this system out and tell me what needs to be added and I'll see about adding it to my additions list

I just noticed my problem with editing when I went to edit some articles on my site. I did recently rewrite pretty the whole admin side of things. I'll have to take a look at the two versions and figure out what I did so differently.

Looks like your doing a great job on a great hack. Im anxiously awaiting a version a newbie like me can install ----

Would you possibly consider in your re-write allowing article posting by usergroups in addition to admin?

Thank you for your work on this!

Yeah, I'm considering going about it through usergroups, but that would make me write something like a /articlecp and making a somewhat seperate admin panel. It's not that hard to do. Basically just a usergroup check at the TOP of the admin panels.

I have something like this in my printer file.

PHP Code:

     $guest = 1;
    
if (is_member_of(array('userid'=>$bbuserinfo['userid'], 'usergroupid'=>$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], 'membergroupids'=>$bbuserinfo['membergroupids']), $guest)){
    echo "Registered members only\n";
 
 } 


you'll have to reverse it in this case though cause you only want certain groups to see the pages

[Hialls]

ah good you listened to me

[spence2]

Basically, which usergroups can post articles, view articles and post comments.

A master list of contributors, alphabetized & paginated, with links to their articles (paginated).

And could the admin retain control of the types (categories) of articles that are allowed to be submitted?

You're doing great work and it is very appreciated by all!

I've given Ixian all the latest updates. I'm not doing anymore work on this this week. I've got too many things to do.
