[TH] Library [Deleted]

Ludachris · Apr 11, 2014

Questions on this plugin:

1. I have a set of forums that are set up like "article" forums - mainly just because replies by anyone other than the thread starter are turned off. They aren't meant to be discussions. Can I set up a Library and move those forums under the Library? Would they still function like forums or would new posts in those forums function like articles going forward?

2. Do posts in the Library have their own dedicated post count separate from the default XF post count?

3. Does anyone have a link to a site using this plugin so I can see it in action?

Thanks!

For those of us who use the Sitemap for XenForo add-on, I posted there a patch that adds support for Waindigo Library elements (Libraries & Articles), thus submitting your library entries to search engines crawlers.

where is it

I am suffering what I can only describe as an utterly inexplicable bug: everything operates fine. I can create a library, and do. I can click the create an article button, and then fill it out, click "create an article", it claims to have saved. It even shows up in the library list.

But the link is dead. The redirect after create and the link in the library list just drops into a 404 page. There are no logged server errors and I have all appropriate permissions, so I don't think that's the issue. The links just... don't work. I can create other XF objects (forums, threads, etc) and everything seems to work fine, so it's very particular to this add-on.

Yet, I can't think of a single reason why this might be happening.

This ended up being a silly server config issue where the protection of the 'library' directory was being overzealous

I'm having a bit of a problem here --

Using the latest version, everything works, except trying to delete an article, i get:

Code:

Not sure I understand your question. You can't automatically convert threads into articles. Articles are not like posts, so they wouldn't act like posts.

Yes. They are not posts. They are article pages.

Seems like a bug with ElasticSearch. Try rebuilding the search caches for articles and article pages. Have you done that before?

Is it possible to shuffle pages once an article is created? For example, if an article is 25 pages long, it would be a pain to copy/paste pages around to make a bit set of edits.

Hi and many thks for this great addon !!
I'm doing a tutorial system with your addon (article are tutos) but I miss some things :

convert a thread - post to an article ?
in conjunction with using custom fields, I need to recover the $user array from the user ID, 2 options (but I can't do what I want):
- I propose to enter the user ID in a custom field but I can't get the $user array (so avatar, name...)
- I propose to create a selectbox with all users and select the good one, but how to ?

Thanks

csgofrance · Aug 27, 2014

May I UP this thread ?

I guess

csgofrance · Sep 11, 2014

Is this addon dead ?

Jon W · Sep 24, 2014

Waindigo updated Library by Waindigo with a new update entry:

Version 1.3.10 released

New features:

Article view count now added;

Ability to edit article creation date in the Article Edit screen;

Read the rest of this update entry...

csgofrance · Sep 25, 2014

Ah, not dead

Thks for the update.

Do you have any clues to answer my questions?

csgofrance · Sep 28, 2014

I'm back

Does this addon allow user to create articles that are not listed in the library index ?
For example, I want to create a library where users can create article that are only visible by the authors, like a personal notepad.

Any advices ? (I can't do it by just using permissions..)

ManOnDaMoon · Sep 29, 2014

Yes, you can. From within your library node permissions menu : yoursite.com/admin.php?nodes/ then click the "Permissions" link beside your node name :
- Check the "Private" option;
- Then for your Registered usergroup (or any other you want), ensure the View Node permission is set to Allow, and the "Display articles created by others" is set to Revoke;
- You can then modify your Moderators usergroup permission to allow "Display articles created by others" for moderation purposes.

csgofrance · Sep 29, 2014

thks

edit : that's what i've done, but when I test permissions by using a "simple member" (with the test permission tool), I can view my own (not those of the selected member) articles...

I can't disallow viewing other article from the library node list (moreover, I can't disallow reading the content from the registered member group, even for "other" articles).

so... after installing and testing this plugin, i get a 404 not found when trying to view an article in a library:

https://squattheplanet.com/library-articles/test-article.1/

i'm running nginx with xf 1.4.1 and library by waindigo 1.3.10

csgofrance · Oct 8, 2014

hummmm is the addon activated ?

electrogypsy · Oct 15, 2014

yes. (duh?)

electrogypsy · Oct 15, 2014

actually, the initial error seems to happen when clicking on the create article button (after filling out the text). i get a 404 on creating the article, even though upon hitting back and refreshing the page in the library node, the article has been created. but, upon clicking on the article to view it, i once again get a 404 error.

i'm also using SSL on my nginx server, so i'm not sure if that's an issue. here's my test library node:

https://squattheplanet.com/libraries/test-area.211/

on a side note, if i can get this working, i was thinking that having thread prefixes available for articles would be a cool feature.
