[Mod] SMF Articles

[Ken.]

Would it be possible to add 4 or 5 Admin definable fields that could be used for the Book title, Author, Publisher, ISBN number etc.

And also would it be possible to add the ability to add one or two photos so that the book covers could be shown?

Regards
Eddy

This would be a great added feature for me as well.
Along with two other site owners I've been trying to setup a 'recipe book' for some time now on my site and theirs.
You can see my mod request on SMF HERE.
... that's where I was pointed to SMF Articles.

This articles mod is already good, adding a few features like this would make it even better.

Hi all!
I am new, and I read this thread back and forth many times, but I still couldn't find the answer for one of the users:  After successfully installed the mod, what (how) am I going to do with it?

There is no detail explanation of how to bring up the articles page.

Here is mine:  http://www.ridingacrossusa.com/forum/articles

I know that someone has mentioned about setting the permission, but where, which file?
Thanks MUCH in advanced for any helps

There should be a menu button it should link to

[jackhis]

Thanks much for the help.
As you can see on my web site that there is "article" button any where.
How do I about to get it up to the screen, or I have to create it manually?

[SMFHacks]

For SMF 1.1.x for custom themes you have to manually edit the index.template.php and look for the template_menu function to add a menu item/link to the articles section.

Issue isn't fix with version 1.3.2a


I'm running SMF 2.0 RC3 and SMF Articles 1.3.2a, When logged in as admin, on the main article category page is an [EDIT] link..
When I try to edit a category, it erases the description from the text box.. Everything saves ok, form is just not populating the textarea. Is there a fix for this ?
Thanks..

Hi guys, sorry for my English!

Here is the problem


None free space for my 5-th new star.jpg image in rating?
What to do? 

[jacci]

Just installed SMF Articles on 2.0RC3 and everything went fine, all good.
The problem I am having though is that there doesn't seem to be a preview option available, which would be incredibly useful. or is there a setting i am perhaps missing?
Thanks

[SMFHacks]

No preview option built in at this time.

Hi SMFHacks,

We're going to use your article system too! Already translated it into Dutch...
2 small questions:

1) Is it possible to add an option to enable/disable the menu button? In first place I'll comment it out because we don't want to use this Article button.
1a) Where do I need to comment it out? I cant find it....   Found it: subs.php
2) How can I display an article on the frontpage of our website? You said that Articles isn't using SSI.....

Thanks,
Vincent

[Marshall Stan]

just the same thing that i want to ask
the frontpage. that would be a nice option.
its much better  than the simple machines articles.

[SMFHacks]

1. Not sure how much of use that would be since most people would need to access the articles somehow.

2. SSI methods are not currently built for it yet.
