From my root, I'm going to have submit_article.php where logged in users can write articles and submit them to a table.

I'm using a login for non-vB pages script currently and I'm wondering what the best way to do this is. I'm not a fan of templates and this should only require snippets of query.

I suppose I'd want to make a user submitted article table that's separate from vBulletin's db, correct? I will be using this system to submit my own articles as well.

From the front page, I then want to be able to display things like "Newest Articles" "Most Popular Articles" (most page views) and such.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Save yourself alot of hassel... why don't you use GARS at http://www.thevbgeek.com/

His app works perfect... and you can still integrate it into your Non-VB pages that use global.php

Hmm. I've been looking into them both and am going to install them both to play around with. I'll start with vbArticles since it has a free version.

Can anyone point out their GARS vs. vbArticles opinion? Anyone use either one?

VBArticles is good except it has no seo work at all the titles nor the links so its worthless for getting your articles indexed or seo'd

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