Skye Report post Posted June 19, 2010 Hey super mod/admins, not to rip on SRK (though this idea is inspired by it), but it would be a damn good idea to include a "nominate as an article" function for comprehensive and damn good helpful guides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digital Watches Report post Posted June 22, 2010 Hey super mod/admins, not to rip on SRK (though this idea is inspired by it), but it would be a damn good idea to include a "nominate as an article" function for comprehensive and damn good helpful guides. Actually, it's been here the whole time. Just only staff can see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skye Report post Posted June 22, 2010 How about implementing it on a user base? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digital Watches Report post Posted June 23, 2010 Sounds kind of like a terrible idea. I'll get back to you on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wutai_Shinobi Report post Posted June 24, 2010 The article thing was a surprise to me~ Glad to see something like this on DL. Very exciting :D I'm going to have to suggest/ask/request/beg for an article only RSS feed now. Right now hitting RSS compiles all forum posts, which is quite messy/nasty for a feed reader. I'm personally very reliant on my feed reader for keeping up with my favorite sites and would definitely like to the see the articles with this functionality ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narcowski Report post Posted June 24, 2010 The "Fourms" link on the main page should link to the forums, not to the articles section. Shouldn't have to click twice to see them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koozebanian Fazoob Report post Posted June 24, 2010 The front page should just be replaced by the Articles section, like on SRK. You can link to the guides from there. Also, is there an option to disable embedded Youtubes? If not, it needs adding in a hurry. Also, I see upgrading the forums software has caused the site to do the same shit where like on SRK where it tries to multi-post messages repeatedly when you submit via Quick Reply. Oh vBulletin, what won't you break~~~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shtkn Report post Posted June 24, 2010 i'll add a simple redirect for now. I dunno if there's a disable embed youtube but i'll look into it (yes i've seen your guy's thread, quite a disaster). I just tested the rss feed in google reader and it seemed to only give articles. The feed is unnamed tho so that will need fixing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Koozebanian Fazoob Report post Posted June 24, 2010 Pretty odd, I never got it at all until the upgrade. I get it pretty consistently on both DL and SRK since they moved to the new version. It probably has to do with the AJAX, that tends to break a lot of things in vB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andru Report post Posted June 24, 2010 I typed out this entire post and hit the back button on my mouse by accident. Dammit. Anyway gonna keep it short. I used to have a PHP forum so I'd be glad to help out in any way. We have PS3/360 Gamertag in the profile as a custom profile field. To add it to the side of posts (the postbit) like how we used to have it Get the field identifier first for the custom profile fields from Admin CP > User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager Then go to Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Postbit Templates > postbit then add, for instance, where 'fieldID' is the field identifier: <if condition="$post['fieldID1']"> PSN: $post[fieldID1] </if> <if condition="$post['fieldID2']"> 360: $post[fieldID2] </if> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SethDahlios Report post Posted June 24, 2010 Every time I click on a link to the article bursting damned if you do damned if you don't in new posts, it tells me I don't have permission to access it. Is this redirecting to the wrong spot or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nina Report post Posted June 26, 2010 I can't seem to post in the Mu threads... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SethDahlios Report post Posted June 26, 2010 Mu boards are closed until july when Mu is Playable. They moved the discussion of Mu fights into there for I don't know the reason, especially since a second Mu fight hit public. But Yeah, Mu forums are closed until CS launches.
