www.techtir.ie Click on Articles on left or Forums on bar.

Article section in Forums.
(The Portal is done in Wordpress with custom PHP replacing blog post content, so blog contents upgrade via RSS).

I hid the redirector.

Made Category and then subforums
Then changed property of category to unlist it.
Then a second set of matching forums to the result of the redirector.

The inline attachments can be fullsize with an Admincp setting
see http://www.techtir.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=1459

I really like this mod. Especially since now no-one ever sees the Redirector.

Thank for this great plugin! It looks awesome.
One question though, I want to sort the articles based on the avgrating!
How can I do that? When I assign this sort order in the forum properties in the admincp and tell article forums to use the default sort option, it's still not sorting based on the avg rating.

I hope that anybody can help me here!

Hi, where to edit the number of words of the article description to dispaly in the articles.php? Please have a look at my article page: http://www.alkaseo.com/articles.php. I want to change the "Today you not only need to know how to build a website but how to SEO optimize it. For all of you newbies, this means to optimize it for the search..." to be longer. Please help. Thank you,

Ah, well, it looked like such a great modification, too. I wonder if there are similar enough alternatives...

If you do wish to try installing v1.9 on your forum you will need to remove the following line from product file

		<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.8.0" maxversion="" />

Oh, didn't see this. I should have searched first. I'll give the modification a try.

This works fine on 3.7. Thanks.
