Does this make sense? Good idea? Bad? I have articles to post and feel stupid putting them in a forum called "articles". How soon can we get a fully integrated CMS? 1.1? Later?
The only problem with it is a forumly feel. Not all sites want that.As I've said before in a few other threads, I think your best option would just to be use the current threads as articles. This way you aren't altering the structure of the database. You could then customize your templates, make the first post of the thread look like an article, and make the replies, look like comments. In this regard you maintain the data structure, searchability, etc, but still have the look and feel that you want.
I've posted some screenshots

ATM it's not possible, but it's planned.I really like the look of this add-on and especially the ability to set permissions for who can view articles. Is there any way that a teaser 'text'or page' can be viewed based on permissions.
What I mean is that if you're unregistered then you would be able to see some quotes from the articles with a message saying register here to read the full article. But if you're registered you would just see the full article as normal
Was this ever done with vB ? Do you know of an example ?Would probably be far easier to edit templates and just make the first post of a thread appear as an article and the subsequent replies look like comments.
I'm working ATM on an article system.
If you're interested i need some testers in 2-3 weeks

Looking good so far.
Has LIKE already !
Should this addon get it's own entry in the Addon section ?
Xenforo have a great framework, which can be used as solid base for "everything"!
The search + node handlers (+nodepermissions +etc...)can be used for "everything", so the general xenforo search form (in the navigation + http://xenforo.com/community/search/ ) handels every content type => cross type search
Then you can also have own search forms for only your content types.
There are IMHO only some "small mistakes/things which could be done better) to make the framework more powerful and easy to use for 3rd parties..
Not everybody want to search for "foobar" and wants to get resulsts from threads, gallery images, articles & links, that's why it's (for me) important to seperate this stuff.
