You should be able to put whatever you could put into a regular post.  You'd probably have to upload the movie somewhere then use HTML code to post it in the tutorial, but I have never posted a QuickTime movie to be able to explain how to do that.

Hello Michael, hi all,

could you please tell me which line i have to edit to achieve list stile appeareance of the subcat's?

The related template is main_page

<div class="subcats">{$cat['desc']}[b]{$cat['subs']}[/b]</div>

I've searched in components_public > tutorials.php but wasnt able to find the html code which I'd like to tweak.

Any help would be much appreciated

[Michael]

Try this.  Open sources/lib/func_tutorials.php.  Find:

			$return = "<br />".$this->ipsclass->lang['sub_categories'].": ".implode( ', ', $cats );

Change to:

			$return = "<br /><ul><li>".$this->ipsclass->lang['sub_categories'].": ".implode( '</li><li>', $cats )."</li></ul>";

Save and upload.

[Tom]

Great! Thank you very much Michael!

I've tweaked the code a lilttle bit, to separate the links from the label 'subcats'.

$return = "<br />".$this->ipsclass->lang['sub_categories'].": <br /><ul><li>".implode( '</li><li>', $cats )."</li></ul>";

Cheers

Tom, Im interested in this also, can you post a screen shot of your result, so I can see what it does exactly, cheers

Sure: click

[RichardC]

aha, thanks Tom, nice result there

[Tom]

It needs to be a bit improved - i guess, a few small design changes will give a nice result.
I like the list style more than the line especially with low screen solution it looks much better and navigation is also a bit easier.


@Michael -
in the Jum-to-Category Drop Down it seems that in one path hierarchy a '-' is missing. Could this be?

I have
Parent Cat
-- 1st Path
---- 2nd Path
---- 3rd Path (should be ------)
------- 4 th Path


And at last it would be great if you could tell me, where's the proper place is to tweak the items which are listed in the menu-box.
I'd like to chance the appereance of the list 'new Articles', 'random articles' etc.

The thing with the dropdowns is a bug, I'll have to look into that.

The general area where those links show up is in the page_top skin template.  I'm getting to the point where I'm not going to be answering questions anymore when they are related to you guys wanting to tweak the crap out of this mod.  As I stated in the terms you agreed to when you purchased this, these mods are sold as-is, meaning I support them for how they are built to work.  Any extra stuff you want to do is up to you, it's not something I should be continually asked to look into the code to check on.

[Tom]

ok, understood. Sorry in case i've bothered you with my question. It wasn't my intention to do this.

Michael,

This mod really is awesome, thankyou for putting the hard work into it. I do have one question, are you converting this to run on the new IP3 when its available?

Many thanks

J

[Michael]

Yes, it will be.

[AshCool]

Rip off?

[Michael]

What?

[Adriano Faria]

Michael, how can I unapprove a tutorial, after he is approved ?

Just set a_approved = 0 on SQL Toolbox but members still can access the tutorial.

[Michael]

Yes, looking at the code, that's probably a bug.  There's no check when viewing an article to make sure it has been approved.

[Adriano Faria]

HUm... is there a possible fix do this bug ? It's important on my case.

I think just an IF on that column + groups that can approve.

[Michael]

It will be fixed in the 3.0 version.  If you absolutely need a fix for this right now, look at the code, it should not be that hard for you to figure it out.

[Adriano Faria]

No. I just didn't want to edit something there without your permission! Tks.

[WCSG]

Help, I have to update a tutorial with new info.

But when I arrive to the tutorial articles now I cannot edit them, the rating pulld own and options menu look different too.  I can pull down the rating menu partially but the "options" menu does not pull down now.  Permissions are correct, don't know what may have happened.

Anyone run into this?
