To get 2 forum sections that work as article forums?

I am also waiting for this!

From what I can see, it will only work with one forum at this time. I might take the initiative to see if I can modify the code to support more than one forum, but I cannot guarantee success, nor when I will get the time to try it. But if I can get it to work, then I need to contact bananalive to see if he will post the new code, or let me post it as a modification of his product.

Did you try ticking the Override Users' Style Choice option?

Hello

is it possible to have the

"number of rate"
"number of stars"

above the home page of the article?

and when you chose an article you see the rating and numbers of stars but you don(t know how many people have rating??

And could I know who have rating, and could I moderate rating?

thank you

Hello.

The forum I help manage is a newspaper at http://connectedcommunities.us. Most of the publications are heavy with HTML to produce article headers.

This mod does not seem to be able to process the HTML code and just displays the raw code as the preview paragraph. Is there a way to ignore the HTML or substitute it with text from somewhere else?

Thanks.

Laura

Problem,

Setup: Its changing all threads in my news and updates section to articles..
Theres 3 sections which contain sub forums.

Most of them work except for a few.

When you click to post an article or edit one in the few that dont work the following error appears:
