POLL: Do you use the 'Article Module'?

[crodexter]

For me articles are great way for good position on Google. I am "beliver" that original content helps and I have good Google rank. Maybe you can think about improving SEO for articles if that is possible.
It is also good way to present news and write about topics that are related to your videos.

Hello,

i always use that module, but i need some module or upgrade, maybe you can thing about on next release, we have anatolian and traditional music and nearly all of them have a story, when i write lyrics and story on article they directly find me from google, my opinion is, on article can have music videos if we can chose related videos for article will be great

Thanks

We're working on connecting articles with videos and viceversa. However it may be a bit hard to come up with a solution that's not resource intensive. This would make for a great option but we'll have to see what can be done with the existing setup.

Thanks.

Do not use.
Since there is no time to complete the article and write texts. It is better to have it filled from rss to be able to add the feed labels and receive news directly.

Now that's a good idea.
Add 15 news feeds and your don't have to look at it anymore.
Autoupdate and all.

I have used it a few times.

I just feel it needs a few more features.

And yes, RSS is the main feature I have been waiting for!!

yes me !!
I use it to promote new videos on the website " Teaser , trailer "

yeah i would use it if i was able to show posts on the index page from different categories and if every post had 2 types of thumbs it would be great!

[rapimdk]

See the demo for the new version 1.6.3: http://www.phpsugar.com/pm_demo/

Is this what you're talking about?

[louis]

me I no thumb in home page for the location article
small image does not appear, however I did like you.

how to fix this problem?

I think q'il lack something in the code for index.php?

Code: Select all

if (_MOD_ARTICLE)

{

   $articles = art_load_articles(0, 3);



   if ( ! array_key_exists('type', $articles))

   {

      foreach ($articles as $id => $article)

      {

         $articles[$id]['title'] = fewchars($article['title'], 55);

      }

      $smarty->assign('articles', $articles);

   }

}


[Andrew]

First you should check if it appears wherever there are 'related articles' listed.

The equivalent code for what you posted is:

Code: Select all

if (_MOD_ARTICLE)
{
   $articles = art_load_articles(0, 3);

   if ( ! array_key_exists('type', $articles))
   {
      foreach ($articles as $id => $article)
      {
         $articles[$id]['title'] = fewchars($article['title'], 55);
      }
      $smarty->assign('articles', $articles);
   }
}

Hi Andrew,
its not working I also look in my 'related articles' as you have and ask the same thing

Louis
version 1.6.3

[louis]

sorry andrew
it works now.
I know that it works for the local server, no for image links.

[Andrew]

Good. Now, let's keep this ontopic.

I am using the article module but I do think it can be improved a bit,
In my opinion its easier to show the articles in the backend the same way as the frontend,
And just one edit page where the admin can edit the article but can also delete comments straight away.

As a noob to phpmelody I would like to have been able to feed it an rss to publish articles from other sites I actually write articles for. It's the only reason I deactivated it, don't have time to copy and paste each and every entry I write for others. I think many sites would use it if they could aggregate stories/news from other sources. Since we can already import from a ton of sources it would be cool if the article module was capable of this as well.
