This version of ARticle Forums is specifically coded for vBulletin 3.8.x version.
If you're looking for the vBulletin 4.x version, try ==> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=237116

Hello J.

It seems to be working fine. Are you releasing a more polished version soon?

Hello. bananalive is the modification author. So you'd need to ask him that. I do believe there's a vB 4.x version of article forums though. I seriously doubt there will be any further revision to the 3.8.x version.

Hey,

I have 2 vBulletins, I am looking to copy all articles from 1 of my forums to the other, is this possible?

Thanks

vBulletin 3.8.7 works not fully! Gives a Script Error while entering a TOPIC or a THREAD in the Articles Frontpage!

This for most read:

PHP Code:

    {
        $row = 0;
        $af_mrpp = $vbulletin->options[af_mrpp];
//        Change the first 90* for the days you want
        $datecut = TIMENOW - (90*24*60*60);
        $threads = $db->query_read("
            SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title AS threadtitle
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
                ON (post.postid = thread.firstpostid)
            WHERE thread.dateline > $datecut AND thread.forumid  IN ($forumids) 


and this for most comment:

PHP Code:

    if (in_array('mostcommented', $af_modules))
    {
        $row = 0;
        $af_mcpp = $vbulletin->options[af_mcpp];
//        Change the first 90* for the days you want
        $datecut = TIMENOW - (90*24*60*60);
        $threads = $db->query_read("
            SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title AS threadtitle
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
                ON (post.postid = thread.firstpostid)
            WHERE thread.dateline > $datecut AND thread.forumid IN ($forumids) 


Enjoy it.

I tried this and it didn't work for me:

if (in_array('mostread', $af_modules))
{
$row = 0;
$af_mrpp = $vbulletin->options[af_mrpp];
// Change the first 90* for the days you want
$datecut = TIMENOW - (7*24*60*60);
$threads = $db->query_read("
SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title AS threadtitle
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
ON (post.postid = thread.firstpostid)
WHERE thread.dateline > $datecut AND thread.forumid IN ($forumids)
$visiblethreads $authorids $condition
ORDER BY views DESC
LIMIT 30, $af_mrpp");
while($thread = $db->fetch_array($threads))
{
$row++;
$thread = process_thread_array($thread, $lastread, $foruminfo['allowicons']);
$thread[threadtitle] = substr($thread[threadtitle], 0, $vbulletin->options[af_maxtitle]);
eval('$a_most_read .= "' . fetch_template('af_articlesmallbit') . '";');
}
}
if (in_array('mostcommented', $af_modules))
{
$row = 0;
$af_mcpp = $vbulletin->options[af_mcpp];
// Change the first 90* for the days you want
$datecut = TIMENOW - (7*24*60*60);
$threads = $db->query_read("
SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title AS threadtitle
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
ON (post.postid = thread.firstpostid)
WHERE thread.dateline > $datecut AND thread.forumid IN ($forumids)
$visiblethreads $authorids $condition
ORDER BY replycount DESC
LIMIT 30, $af_mcpp");
while($thread = $db->fetch_array($threads))
{
$row++;
$thread = process_thread_array($thread, $lastread, $foruminfo['allowicons']);
$thread[threadtitle] = substr($thread[threadtitle], 0, $vbulletin->options

[af_maxtitle]);
eval('$a_most_commented .= "' . fetch_template('af_articlesmallbit') . '";');
}
