Regarding my last post, now it works. And a read-question [In reply to]	Can't Post

Yeah I bet Wink

But, I actually have one question regarding this task. How do we remove the ***image1:right*** things which also appears in the vbulletin-forum? It isnt quite nice to display these tags. Could the script parse these text-values and clean them?

And one other thing, we need to know how many people have read each article - and also display this in each article. An easy solution for this?

Regards!

instead of removing it, is there a way to actually translate it with vbulletin vbcode for image? Usually the summary includes a thumbnail.

BTW, I love using AM with Vbulletin. I am using the same vbulletin permissions: only members can read articles. Tongue

And two thumbs up for your support. I sent a few customers your way, telling them that you are one of the handful honest and helpful people on the web.

Hi Affi,

We should be able to put something together to remove those image tags. I will check with our developers and have one of them reply to you.

To refine the article summary that is posted to the forum, edit the goforum.cgi file at around line 115. This is where the text for the forum subject and forum body is built. Look for the line that begins with:

Code

my $forum_body = "SUMMARY: $rec{'summary'}...

This lines puts the summary of the article as the forum body. After this line, you can add you customization code for massaging the text. For example, to remove all the ***image*** placeholders, add this line:

Code

 $forum_body =~ s/\*\*\*image[\d]+(:(left|right|center|url))?\*\*\*//gis;
