vBaCMPS Latest Geek Articles · **Released**: 01-04-2005

Hack: vBadvanced CMPS Latest Geek Articles
Version: 1.0
Author: Me

Instructions:
upload modules/latestgeekarticles.php into modules folder
upload admincp/latestgeekarticles_install.php into admincp folder
run above file
Follow the slight file modifications in the README.

File modifications: 1
Template modifications: 0
Installer: Yup. A very cool one.
Phrased: Yup

In a nutshell, this module is based upon the vBa Latest Topics module, but is instead set up to pull the 'Latest articles' from a specified forum. This is really designed for those using The Geek Article System.

Check out the Readme that comes in the package.

Change Log
version 1.3 uploaded 02/02/05
Minor update to module in order to work with new vBaCMPS release

version 1.2 uploaded 07/01/05
Fixed 'Excluded Forums' bug that appeared to have been bitten by Zombie.
It came back to haunt one user so I had to take drastic action and update it.
It now WORKS with your 'excluded forums' setting. That is to say, you can exclude your acticle forums from 'Latest topics' but they will still happily appear in Latest Articles.
Please note that this means there is now a file edit. Please read the README.

version 1.1 uploaded 07/01/05
Fixed bug where when users had vba excluded forums set, it caused a query error. To fix, download latest package and upload latest modules/latestgeektopics.php overwriting your old one.

note:if you dig this module, you may be interested in the Featured/Random Articles one too.

PS: Your template will be a tad different from my screen shot as this is for my style.

I would love to be able to show either random articles, or latest articles on a sidebar all over my site. But it's not the vBCMPS sidebar, it is just a regular sidebar.

Is there a way to go about doing this?

How can I get the article images to show?? I really need to know how to do this for both this and the featured articles add ons. Both great addons but make no sense without the ability to show the article image.

Can someone who is a better coder than me help me with this?? I have been trying for days now and am stumped and get nothing but red x's.

I followed all the file edits and used the install script, but the settings do not show up in default settings. I looked in mysql and they are all there though.

hi guys,
I've installed this Hack, but when I go to "Default Settings", I don't view anything else about Article setttings...

In which section I must search: Thread, News Archive, etc ???

Help me, please

Thanks,
Giuseppe Leone

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
