Regards,
That would be nice or at least to show only the forum and if you click on it

you go to the forum and it shows the sub-forums

Example

- Articles forum
- - Computers
- - Internet
- - Cellphones
- - - Nokia
- - - Samsung
- - - iPhones

When you are in the "Articles Forum" you can only see

- - Computers
- - Internet
- - Cellphones

Then you click on "Cellphones" you would only see

- - - Nokia
- - - Samsung
- - - iPhones

That would be very nice

Hi

could you please post in the description of your mod, what you did change with the latest release in June and why?

Is it necessary to upgrade?

It takes affect in articles.php, but not in CMPS. This is happening in both browsers. Also tried to go to "edit module" and make the switch there, but same thing.

Thanks again.. I owe you a beer.

I had a quick look into the word limit in cmps but couldn't work out why it wasn't working, i'll have to have another look.

I think what you are requesting is a different modification really.

Thnx, Kev

PS: Bananalive has got to be overwhelmed with all of the requests and suggestions...
You could use custom bbcode to do image/text wrap.

Edit template af_firstpost to add advertising space.

Yes, use the AdminCP phrase manager to change the phrases which contain articles

In the first post at the top there is a link to the version history.

If you are happy with your current version then there is no need to upgrade.

Is there a way to have them to use this code to jump from one forum to another?

I wouldn't like to have unregistered users able to post in the Article.

sorry I am just trying to figure something out to sort this thing as I am using the Mod to be the main forum which could have over 50 forums and subforums and it does not look good with the list being that long. I have plans to extend this list to be a lot more than that number of forums.

You'll need to edit template: af_catbit making each category an <option> and then use your above code.

I too having problems with size of preview.. If I set it to 0 the it will post all of it without attachment. any other numbers (1- / 1 to 100000) will only show around 25 words or so with attachment..

Also, enabling BBCode option makes the page go all over the place

I know you'll have to click the article title to read more.. can you add [Read Mode] to it please?


Thanks
