[TH] Library [Deleted]

Hello, need a bit of help with this addon....
I just setup a brand new XF site and plan to use this library to host editable pages.
My structure will look similar to:

->Forum
->Amenities (libraries)
-->Marina
-->Stables
-->etc...

I created a library node...
I looked to add "articles" as a child to this node and I don't see it.
If I click directly on this new library node I get a Server 500 Error.

I am not using Friendly URLs yet.

Any ideas?


***FIXED...
Apparently Nodes as Tabs is required?
I just installed Nodes as Tabs and all is well....
 
Question...

How can users receive alerts for new Articles?

Suggestion...

Provide a "Sibling" menu option - similar to XF pages "List Sibling Nodes"
 
Interesting error...

So copying and pasting text from HTML pages into Articles.

One more comment....
I noticed when you upload an attachment (image) and you insert it into your article page.
When you reopen the page for edit, you do not get the image showing - only the |ATTACH|000|/ATTACH| placeholders.

Also...

Non-Image attachments don't seem to show when viewing the article.

This should not be the case. I will look into this.

An option to "Watch" for new Articles would be a good idea for many library deployments.
I'm not sure if this is planned. If anyone is interested in contributing towards this feature, please send me a message.

Suggestion....
Add ability to delete a "Page"
On my to-do list. The current system is very 'bare bones' so anything that is not absolutely needed has been skipped for now. For example, you could delete a page by creating a new article and copying all the other pages into it.

I thought this was consistent with forum pages, but I could be wrong.

Non-Image attachments don't seem to show when viewing the article.
Allowing other attachments is not allowed at present. My intention is to have a separate tab for attachments but this is not a high priority at present.

Thank you for any help you can offer. If you can in dummy terms would be great. :)

Thank you!
I'm just glad it wasn't something I did. LOL

Thank you so much for the time and effort you are putting into this.

This Library is so awesome it functions as several different modifications at the same time. Earlier I mentioned that it was like a comic book mod but now it's also like the resource manager in the way the threads are connected to the article.
 
It needs a way to create more than 1 page at a time, as it doesn't look very professional if you use it on a serious website as you have to create an article, everyone sees it and then you add more pages to it, but people could have already seen the article with only 1 page and not come back.

I think originally we did talk about having a [pagebreak] tag, which could be implemented quite easily. I think what you are discussing is a bigger issue though about articles not being ready.

Even with the paginate tag, you might still want to go back and edit it, and people might not want to write an article in one go. Therefore, it might be useful to have a checkbox to allow user's to "hide" their article until they are ready. Unfortunately, this is slightly more difficult because, for example, we would possibly want the article to show as being the newest article in a library at the moment when it was un-hidden, otherwise it would be confusing. Any thoughts?

Possible future solution :
On my forums, we have a semi-private category where members/authors can work on their topics/articles without the others seeing the work in progress. Then moderators check for articles quality and move the topic to the destination forum.

That's why I'm awaiting the "Move" function for Library before installing in production environment. :)
