Congratulations on getting this out. I really like the module, though I wasn't too impressed by any of the examples you put up.

One question: The last release was an alpha. Is this a beta, a Release Candidate or a Final?

I just have 1 question: can the standard Articles module be updated with your release? Or maybe the database imported somehow?

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you

Maybe things like that should be displayed a wee bit more prominently in ALL module announcements? People shouldn't have to go to the readme.txt file

Gets kind of confusing to people (especially people first coming to XOOPS) to see new releases that may be fine but really aren't intended for production sites. Might save a LOT of grief and complaints and blank pages and people giving up on XOOPS.

I had article 0.84 installed, but I didnt add any content to it yet, so I disabled and then unistalled on modules control panel. then on the ftp I deleted the article folder and uploaded the new one (0.90). for whatever the reason when I do this my modules administration (where I have to install articles) page doesnt fully load, and I cant see the 'install' option. if I delete the article folder from the ftp everything works again...any idea what happens?

thanks

Just uploaded this module to see what it can do and I have a similar experience: in the module admin page, its seems to be non-existing. I use XOOPS Multilanguages (latest version).

patagon and dona_brasil:

Can you upload the files, if it breaks download then again and do a binary compare to see if the files are still intact to rule out ftp upload issues?

Or other way round: try a different ftp tool to upload them?

What is the transfer setting in your ftp tool? (Auto vs. text vs. binary) Normally auto should do fine.

Bender:

I'm using CoffeeCup Free FTP. I've tried Auto, Binary and Ascii and all three result in the same problem.

I've never done a binary check... Any link towards a page that explains this? Thanks!

I have the same problem where all my other uninstalled modules don't show. However when I erase the 'a' (happened accidentally) from the folder name article, the uninstalled modules display except the Article module. Quite bizarre.

I have change the upload method and tried many tricks but nothing works.

XOOPS Version:
XOOPS 2.0.13.2

---------------------------------------------
FOUND THE FIX!!
Well this was a quick fix. I realised the problem is that I was mis-interpreting the install instructions and deleting the xoops22 folder from the Frameworks folder thinking that it represented any version 2.x. I uploaded the whole folder and now it all works fine.

Re: package updated Re: article 0.90 is released

patagon Published 04/24/2006 3:57 Quite a regular Joined 01/08/2002 Comments 235

Thanks Bender. i uploaded everything again and now it works. BTW I dont think its the setting on cuteftp (that I always used the same) but the fact that I didnt upload the frameworks folder again (I had the one from the previous version).

Also, is it possible to upgrade these modules (this one, or cbb for example) instead of doing a fresh install? I didnt see any info on how to do that, would overwriting the files just work?

thanks

Has anyone tried this in comparison with the Magazine module?

Or how would this stack up against the AMS Spotlight module or news 1.44?

Let's start with the fact that the "magazine" won't work with php 5, move to the fact that it's much more mature then the article module with a LOT of important feature (a lot of extra data can be attached to each article) + higly defined visual management of articles and categories.

So ... no ... the articles module as is now has much less features then the magazine module.
BUT
it has some great features that the magazine lake (the great "key words" feature, multi-category and multi-topic feature, friendly url's feature and so on...)
The magazine's support is far from being good and I actually don't know if there will be another version ... auther's site has a few English threads only.
I use it and am very sorry that there's no decent support for it.

The articles module is in it's first steps and is already great as is, phppp is usualy moving very fast with versions, and will probably support the module tightly.

I'm sure it'll be the best in it's category soon, so it's a better bet probably

Actualy, it's my bet from now on ..... from the minute I found out that php 5 is not supported at the magazine module.

Resized Image Yes this is a great module, it's more professional looking than others and really easy to configure the templates. It's running here:

One thing I cant get to happen is showing the atricle images on the art_list and art_archive templates. Otherwise it is great!

Thanks phppp!

Re: article 0.90 is released-- stupid user probem & a bug

rabideau Published 05/04/2006 13:55 Home away from home Joined 04/25/2003 Comments 1042

Okay so I feel really dumb....

How do I upload a text or pdf file. I've tried everything I can think of without success. HELP!!!

Now for the bug, this module has the same html/css error as the mediawiki module. I'll post a hack to fix page spacing soon. If you want to see the problem you may access the module on http://processteam.org -- although I hope the problem will be gone soon.

Please help with the upload issue though. I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

Re: article 0.90 is released - a few bugs?

tedsmith Published 05/04/2006 19:47 Updated 05/05/2006 18:06 Home away from home Joined 06/02/2004 Comments 1151

Well done on the module. Looks great.

A couple of issues though (not sure if already known about?) :

1) The Index Tab --> When I click 'Create Folder' for both the images and the files it doesn't create the folders and just loops back to the Index stating that the folders still don't exist.

2) The 'File' and 'Utility' tabs just seem to display the content of the Index tab.

I'm commercially hosted running XOOPS 2.0.13.2

Lastly, it would be useful to have a file attachment facility for PDF's. I note there is the facility for a logo\graphic, but not for actual files like PDF's. This would be useful.

That's a nice site! I like the way that articles is used.

Also, and maybe this is a stupid quetions, but why do you have a news module as well as a articles module?

News being general news and articles, being special features?

Framework files

cookie Published 05/05/2006 18:06 Just popping in Joined 10/25/2004 Comments 24

I just noticed that I have a Framework\art directory becauses I installed the CBB (forum) module. I'm running XOOPS 2.0.13.2.

I noticed that there are two files inside Framework\art directory (functions.php and objects.php) which are of different dates and sizes. The header file says that they are the same with the same date.

Does anybody know why these are different and which one should be used?

Thanks.

One essential feature (for me at least) is a way of ordering the articles (@ end-user pages) ... (may be in the articles CP as done in the category CP).

Another suggestion: an "article custum fields" feature (especially for the list view) ... to make the articles list more versatile if presented in a table view...

I posted some more feature requests @ XF site ...

Is there any estimation for the next release (release date + added features) ?

I just installed xoops ver. 2.0.14 RC1 and I noticed at the Article that the category permissions they DONT work.

I can set only the GLOBAL permissions. The pull down menu it doesn't change the page for the others (access, submit...) to set them.

Now I can't make anything with this module.

Please HELP.

I use it in a production site http://www.esathena.gr with 2.2.4 ver and it works FINE.

Finally the problem was with the "register_globals" of my server. When I turn it "On" it works fine.

But I think you have to take as a bug because it's not the best for the security to have the "register_globals on".

One more feature request (suggestion) that I forgot is "a printer friendly" version.

For now (after about 150 articles sent, the module is very stable, without any bug I noticed) ... thank you very !! very much for it.
