Control of the Library list of Articles - sticky Article titles - latest X number of Articles - order the rest A-Z or chrono.
Article icon for its author. Author name.
Article templating so as to show a mini index of multiple pages for example. Rob is also discussing a tab view to show pages.
Link to Discussion thread on a forum. Either a new created thread or browse to an existing one to allocate it.

haha that's why i waited before I downloaded. Gonna wait a bit more. Thanks for updating this btw.

Looks good, noticed one little thing.

Discussion thread:
(Button) is phrased; waindigo_no_discussion_thread_library

That may be confusing to some users. "No discussion thread" might be better?

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

So Waindigo, any thoughts on adding a commenting feature?

This has already been added and is present in this release.

Jon, fantastic release by the way!! Can you give me a time frame for the alphabetical pagination? [A,B,C] instead of the default numeric pagination [1,2,3]? - I need to try and plan my migration of articles and need to hold off at least until then. Thanks mate

My first resource to hit 100 unique downloaders!

In future, add-on's are going to be released first on waindigo.com for early testers, with only stable versions then being released on XF.

Discussion thread:

Thanks. I had this phrase but I had assigned it to the wrong add-on. I will update in the next release.

I am going to release this as a separate add-on.

Hey um, the discussion forum for library articles is very huge so it does not show the thread that was already made about the article. There is no way to scroll down to search for the thread in the specific subforum. Can you create a fix for this?

Are you talking about when you edit a pre-existing article and try and add a discussion thread from a forum that has lots of articles?

Yes sir!

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the latest release.

I was just wondering whether you would consider instead of having the user avatar displaying next to the entry, but instead have a user defined picture.
