Questions about Articles Content

[findagroomer]

In vCloud, 3 questions.

Is there a way for an individual article to appear in full display and the reader doesn't have to go to post or see more?

I added a new article, and on the start page of the articles section it appears on the top of the list. However, in Content Management Options I gave it a high number for display order. I have one article welcoming people to the Articles section that I would like for it to act as welcome message. How do I do that?

Within a category can I adjust the display order of the articles?

1. There is no option to show an entire article within the channel listing.
2. Display Order isn't implemented for articles in vBulletin 5.
3. Display Order isn't implemented for displaying articles in vBulletin 5.

For a welcome message to new users, I would use either

• A Notice (AdminCP -> Notices -> Notices Manager) that includes a link to the Node/Topic that you want them to read.
• A Customized Search module that points to the specific Node/Topic that you want them to read.

I think the Notice provides a better user interface because they can dismiss it on future visits. Notices are easier to implement as well. However some people may wish to have something always on the page and in the flow of content. This is better provided with a module. Showing specific content requires a search module.
