SMF Articles

[Arantor]

I know; actually I'm quite impressed how quickly it's been, since public release announcement, I count nearly 100 mods labelled as RC2 compatible.

Updated with support for SMF 2.0 RC2!

Updated with support for SMF 2.0 RC2!

Good news, since this is a mod I had decided to wait for before upgrading.

Excellent.   Thank you.

hello guys! Do you know (if this has been solved before) or if it's easy to make a tinyportal block with the last articles from all the categories? I checked the other day the code that they use on their recent posts' block. It's like this.

Code Select Expand

global $scripturl;

echo '
                        <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor">
                               <tr><td colspan="3" class="titlebg">Recent topics</td></tr> ';
       $what=ssi_recentTopics('8', NULL, 'array');


        foreach ($what as $topic)
        {
                echo '
                                <tr>
                                        <td class="windowbg" valign="middle">
                                                ', $topic['link'];

                // Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
                if (!$topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
                        echo '
                                                <a href="', $scripturl, '?topic=', $topic['topic'], '.from', $topic['new_from'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';

                echo '
                                        </td>
                                        <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" width="20%">
                                                ', $topic['poster']['link'], '
                                        </td>
                                        <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" width="35%">';
                if ($settings['images_url'] != $settings['theme_url'] . '/images' || file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/icons/last_post.gif'))
                        echo '
                                        <a href="', $topic['href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/last_post.gif" alt="', $txt[111], '" title="', $txt[111], '" border="0" style="float: right;" /></a>';
                echo '
                                                <span class="smalltext">
                                                        ', $topic['time'], '
                                                </span>
                                        </td>
                                </tr>';
        }

        echo '
                        </table>';

Would anybody help me to change the code to make articles appear. I suppose there's something to do with SSI.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Greetings

I'm using PortaMX portal and I would like to use this mod on its frontpage. I've been talking to creator of that portal and here is what she said:

I don't know that mod .. but if it have a defined DB interface (or own SSI functions) you can get the content with php blocks.

So, what part of code should I copy to php block then?

[vbgamer45]

Don't have any premade blocks to show an aritlce on a front page of a portal system yet.

[_sebas_]

hi !

is possible, imports o make a promote of theme TO ARTICLE ?

[vbgamer45]

Please explain a little more

[Arantor]

I suspect the request is to be able to convert a regular topic into an article, with a button from the topic itself.

SMFArticles and EzPortal integrate, don't they? If you do it right, it should work then. It's all plans, he wants you to use EzPortal ^_^

I want to ask about something. When you've disallowed guests to browse the forum, they aren't allowed to view the articles section either even if the permission to view articles is set to allowed. Does anyone know how to override this independently from the forum-browsing-permission?

Edit: Wow, i just noticed that no pages are allowed, not even custom ones! Darn.. The SMF team should change this in the core.

[Kindred]

Why?    Access to the site is access to the site.

[robinrobin]

Well it's called "Allow guests browse the forum", so i presumed it meant the forum alone.

[Arantor]

That's just the standard wording of the forum itself, but generally covers everything relating to the forum, including mods.

I have this mod installed on smf 2.0 RC2 with the curves theme as default. Permissions have been set and members can view articles just fine.

Problem:
My attachments (images) do not display with the articles. When creating or editing an article, the attachment upload box seems to work for browsing and selecting files. The files even upload. I can see them in the articles folder on my server, (using FTP.) But no attachments show up in the articles.

Can someone link me to a forum that has this as an example. I'd like to see how it's used.

You have to drag and drop the images into the article in order for them to appear.

I tried this...

The function is not allowed from the upload (browse) window.

After the upload, when I drag and drop from the article edit window, it places the following text in my article.

javascript:void(0);

But, still no picture.

I am unablt to install this mod. It says it's imcompatible with my version of SMF. I've emulated all version with no success. Any ideas?
