Basic vb5 developer information?

[Dead Eddie]

I gave him this solution on .org yesterday....

[Dead Eddie]

Which is a fairly silly limitation. Is that a bug, or is it intended to be that way in the final version?...

[Dead Eddie]

Seems like there are a few bugs in the system yet.

It does canonicalize the URLs based on the forum (the original moved post updated the URL), but swapping categories didn't update the URL....

[Dead Eddie]

Indeed. I've moved the linked thread above to a new category/forum. Neither the URL, nor the breadcrumbs, have updated....

[Dead Eddie]

Can't say for sure, but that'll probably get messed up in the routing, since /forum is a valid route....

Here ya go:

The linked post in that thread is pointed to a moved...

Thanks Wayne. I'll look forward to it.

I think I see how to do a few things I'd like to do with vb5. However, I'm not sure about the api extensions that have been discussed. Is it as simple as extending the api file, and pulling the information...

Personally, I'm not familiar enough with Drupal nodes to answer. What specifically were you comparing?

Think of the structure your forum. You've got categories, forums under those categories, threads within the forums, and posts within the threads. Within 5, the first 3 are contained entirely within the...

[Dead Eddie]

Think of nodes as defining the structure of your site. Forums, threads, blogs, and placeholders for the content beneath. The disparate content types that 5 supports each have their own table for their...

You've got some kind of flag mod outputting a blank flag image next to the "Musko" image. That's pushing the user info down....

[Dead Eddie]

Use whichever of the vbcms_article_populate_* hooks make sense and wrap your code in

if(self::VIEW_PAGE == $viewtype) 
{ 
} 

That only fires if it's putting...

How about Search Queue Update? That query looks suspiciously like the query used to index articles.

You may have an article stuck in your index queue that the system can't process because...

[Dead Eddie]

Perhaps I'm just being pedantic, but the author's id is already in scope, so your code should be able to be reduced to:

require_once('includes/functions_user.php');
$avatarurl

[Dead Eddie]

Not to shamelessly self-promote...but I'll do it anyway.

I had some of the same frustrations. The documentation I found was inadequate (I don't know if it's since been updated), so I wrote...

[Dead Eddie]

I was seeing it too. Like you, I had to mark the Announcements forum read in order to get it to go away.
