ok...  I have this mod installed (along with 100+ other mods to test the robustness/overlap of the system with that much in it...

So far, it looks pretty good. SA, let me tell you how happy I am that you use the integration arrays... it makes for simple multi-mod installs. The only problem that comes with it, of course, is that the menu items are now outside of the standard subs.php array (as Glitch noticed)

Kindred

actually, I have surprisingly few errors, and the ones that I do find are pretty straight forward (where the mod author forgot to define something or, more likely forgot to initialize the variable with something and never built in checks to see if the variable is blank)

If I uninstall the old version before I install the new version...will I lose any articles I have already created, or any permissions I have already set?

SA™

Thanks for the quick reply...will let you know how it goes...

GlitchPC

By the way...I should mention...I'm using this mod on a production site.  Not sure if that makes a difference but, just wanted you to know.

Anyhow...I uninstalled old version and installed new one from your previous link.  The avatar still seems a little skewed as in my previous post:  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=466185.msg3261935#msg3261935

Also...the list bbcode tag does not indent as it does within other areas of the board.  Just doesn't look like a professional article if one uses this particular tag in their articles.  The bullets and numbers just appear too close to the info box of the article.  Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean...

Sorry for the double-post here...

SA™

yeah i was just looking at this on your site it does look kinda awfull with the list bbc tag i may chnage the article layout for this as im not too good with templates and css i have soem ideas tho

ill get some screen shots of different layouts later for you to see wich one looks best

the avatars are all set to a certain size as not to break the layout with bigger avatars

Gotcha...look forward to seeing these screenshots of the new layouts.

Also...maybe include an admin option to not show the avatar...or certain info which just really isn't needed for the article.

Edit...

Since the mod has been updated...I can't find the area in KBHooks.php to turn the tab link off in the forum's main menu.  It's not the same coding as your previous version.


Edit...

never mind...found it.

I should note, too...that if you're going to re-size an avatar...you should have it retain its aspect ratio as not to cause what is currently happening in the article page.  Not sure if you can do that, though...

GlitchPC

Actually...come to think of it...moving the "Article Details" to the top of the article could solve the layout issue...don't you think?

SA™

yeah i was thinking the same after i posted what i did earlyer

Just checking on the prgoress, SA™...How are things going?

Oh, by the way...just wanted you to know, the parsing of bbcode is not the same in all browsers.  Take, for instance, the list tag.  While it may appear somewhat okay in Chrome...it doesn't appear the same or, at all, in Opera's latest version.  Just thought you'd like to know.  Later this morning I'll attach some images to let you see what I'm referring to.  Have to get ready for work...and I'm a little strapped for time.

All in all...I really do love this mod...and look forward to a final release.  Keep up the great work!

Edit...

See attached images.  Chrome shows the  list tags as good as can be expected...while Opera has issues.  Using the latest versions of both browsers.  Also...Firefox and Safari display the same as Chrome.  Problem seems to be associated only with Opera.

Noticed that in the Admin main menu item, the sub menu items that were there previously are now gone.

Originally the sub menu items were:

Feature and Options
Package Manager
Error Log
Permissions
Simpleportal (additional mod)

Now I only see:

Features and Options
Knowledge Base

:(

QuoteThe only problem that comes with it, of course, is that the menu items are now outside of the standard subs.php array (as Glitch noticed)

Hmm... on that point how do I actually remove the KB menu item ? I'm so used to looking in Subs.php  :P

I have so much on the main menu bar that it's overflowing so I want to remove the KB menu item and put it as a link somewhere else.

Thanks  ;)

SA™...

As an added feature request(s):

1.  Make the "Source" and "Title" fields expandable to the number of characters specified in administrative settings, or configuration of the mod.

As it stands...long URLs for Source(s) and long Titles are truncated by the mod.
