I do the best I can
I still have a small improvement I need to add to the borders of images (to do, but not that high on the list)
I think you might need to ask your users to upload high quality images
I'm still working on the next release, the next release so far has the following:
Fixes
- Fixed a minor bug with the carousel (no horiz padding)
- Fixed a minor bug with the carousel core script (pagination not always correct for x/y divisions)
Enhancements, Article Tools (admin / mod tools on published articles)
- Added Functionality, Article Tools: Remove Thread Association (so an admin can remove a discussion from an article)
- Added Functionality, Article Tools: Create New Associated Thread (so an admin can create a new thread associated to an article if they need to )
- Added Functionality, Article Tools: Associate To An Existing Thread Thread (so an admin can associate an article to an already existing thread... the thread must be in an article forum (default or one defined by categories)
- Added Functionality, Article Tools: Modify Publish Date (for admins that want to play around with the publish date of the article)
- Added Functionality, Article Tools: Delete Published Article (so.. well, so you can delete a published article should you want to... but why did you allow it to be published in the first place :s )
Enhancements, Thread Tools (admin / mod tools on threads)
- Added an option to convert Threads to Articles within the thread tools. I've done this in such a way that:
- The option only displays if the Thread is in an Article Forum (default or defined by categories)
- The option only displays if the user has this permissions to convert Threads to Articles
- The option does not display if the thread is already associated to an aricle
- I have done this using 0 queries overhead to the thread view!!!
The options for Threads to Articles contain the following settings:
- Use a custom article image (upload an image at the time of conversion)
- Category Selection (pre-populated as the 1st category for this forum)
- Article Title (pre-populated with the thread title)
- Article Summary (pre-populated with a snippet of the thread content)
- Replace First Post (defualt: true. Once the article has been created from the first post, replace the first post by a "read more" link
- Create Article as Published ( Ticked by default. Ticking this option converts the thread into a published article. However, if this option is un-ticked, the article will be created as an unpublished article and will remain in the users unpublished list until they submit the article for publishing)
- Use post_time: (ticked by default. Use the first posts post_time value for the articles publish time (instead of current time))
There is also an option to Convert Article to Thread (just in case you convert a thread to an article by accident)
When converting an Article to Thread / Thread to Article attachments get moved over to the new entity
Additionally I have added options:
- Hide side bar on Article Page
- Move Share buttons under Article Summary
I'm currently looking at "default images per category", since this will work hand in hand with the Thread > Article conversions (so you the admin can use the defaults and just tick submit for each thread... )
It should be ready within the next few days
(@peopleThatHaveBoughtThis if you want a pre-release to test, let me know... but you can't currently add images to articles at the point of converting thread->article)
