UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Beta-[6.4] Aticles Index Add On

Mod Name / Version: Aticles Index Add On

Description: What is it? It's an add on to Threads 6.4 that will generate a menu from a catagory you select with all of the forums in that catagory and a search box specific for each one. Handy for sites like mine that have an entire articles section (or those sites that have online reviews).

You can see an example here: http://www.dalantech.com/ubbthreads/articles.php

No problem -I should have done this one a long time ago...

Yep cool a category search mode or article whichever Good work

LOL! Thanks!

Possible to ad a link to submit to that forum? Would that go in the template?

Nice work btw

this is nice. It's something I've been kinda wanting to see for awhile, though I'd like to have the ablity for the forums containing articles to be invisible on the forum, and only seen in the "articles section" You can only have so many forums, I already have too many. If sub forums existed, it wouldn't be a problem, until then, it is I guess...

Nice Job!

I am still trying to gigure out what an aticle is? is that like some kind of Moose?

no, it's like a news page, with a Jersey accent .

I bet you could define that pretty easy in one of the settings so it showed the hidden forums in a catagory and make it non group dependant. Then just hide the forums in that catagory on the board.

but then would those posts be visible in the articles index, if they weren't visible in the forums index?

True then you would need another page to display those..hmm this one is beyond my skills.

Do you know if this should work with Threads V 6.3

I just installed and get a bunch of errors

My guess is NO as it seems to be looking for a column O_BOARD in the wt3_online table that does not exist in 6.3
