Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / W.I.P. - MOD- Articles and Article Categories
« on: May 07, 2013, 10:13:25 PM »
This MOD is for creating Articles (typed text that can be News, Opinions, Articles, Blogs, etc) and Categories for them that are SEPARATE from the Image Categories.
What it does - It allows you to create Article categories to be displayed on the front page, and from there, create/write articles (or news, etc). The thumbnails of images are not used. Rather, the first piece of the Article, AKA the "snippet", is used as a thumbnail. It's stand-alone, so it does not interfere with the Image Categories and images. It does use comments that operate just like the Image comments. Editing, creation, deleting... all of it works just like the Image and regular categories.
Important - This MOD is not a full release yet. As the title of the thread says, it is a W.I.P. (Work In Progress). Feed back is needed, as I am requesting that you experts out there can look over the script(s) and see if there is any streamlining/clean-up that can be done. It IS fully functional as it currently is.
I also request that someone can make this Searchable.
WARNING!!!
This MOD modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!!
Let's get started -
I repeat: This MOD modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!!
STEP 1
Unzip the attached zip file. Upload all files to your 4images ROOT directory, maintaining the folder structure.
STEP 2
This file modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!! Once articles_install.php is uploaded to the ROOT directory, point your browser to it and run the script. Again, this file modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!!
STEP 3
Create these two folders in ROOT/data/
articles (CHMOD it to 777)
tmp_articles (CHMOD it to 777)
STEP 4

}

And that's it. A nice, short, 46 step MOD (please note the humor there
) Again, feedback welcome.
What it does - It allows you to create Article categories to be displayed on the front page, and from there, create/write articles (or news, etc). The thumbnails of images are not used. Rather, the first piece of the Article, AKA the "snippet", is used as a thumbnail. It's stand-alone, so it does not interfere with the Image Categories and images. It does use comments that operate just like the Image comments. Editing, creation, deleting... all of it works just like the Image and regular categories.
Important - This MOD is not a full release yet. As the title of the thread says, it is a W.I.P. (Work In Progress). Feed back is needed, as I am requesting that you experts out there can look over the script(s) and see if there is any streamlining/clean-up that can be done. It IS fully functional as it currently is.
I also request that someone can make this Searchable.
WARNING!!!
This MOD modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!!
Let's get started -
I repeat: This MOD modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!!
STEP 1
Unzip the attached zip file. Upload all files to your 4images ROOT directory, maintaining the folder structure.
STEP 2
This file modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!! Once articles_install.php is uploaded to the ROOT directory, point your browser to it and run the script. Again, this file modifies your database, so make a back-up first!!!
STEP 3
Create these two folders in ROOT/data/
articles (CHMOD it to 777)
tmp_articles (CHMOD it to 777)
