K That fixed the Ajax editor issue, thanks.

Just the Comments and most read now.

Will work on the sub cats

Another problem, when a article has more than 1 page worth of replies, the first poster on the second page appears as if they have written the article like the main article postbit style.

Hope this can be fixed

Thank you.

I'm also having issue with Most popular & most commented articles not showing up

[nohuhu]

bananalive,

ugh, this "most read" and "most commented" problem turned out to be more prosaic than i thought and it shouldn't have anything to do with character sets or whatever. it's that you're using af_articlesmallbit template in the script and it's absent in the product file. no wonder it works only in your development environment.

[nohuhu]

bananalive,

uh, an while poking around script's guts i got a suggestion: it would be good to have title length limit configurable instead of hardcoded 25 characters. it pretty much depends on style and font used so in some cases 25 characters can be too long and in some it can be too short. i mean title length for "most read" and "most commented" blocks, that is.

I'll include that in next release.

Thank you.

It should show article at top of every page, I've fixed this now

Hello. Thank you currently testing. In my case

Most Read Articles and Most Commented Articles are empty although there are multiple articles and multiple comments. Everything else seems to work just fine.
