[XFA] Document/Manual/Tutorial/Article Writer

[XFA] Document/Manual/Tutorial/Article Writer [Paid] 2.8.3

No permission to buy (€12.00)
Looks like a great add-on. Couple of questions.

1) Can you sticky the documents per category?
2) Can there be comments added to document by other users? (discussion thread)
3) Can we print the document - especially to PDF?

thanks a lot!
 
XFA updated [XFA] Document/Manual/Tutorial/Article Writer with a new update entry:

Bug fixes and new features

Corrected bugs:
  • Adding/editing a single section document, clicking on the button Thumbnail or Full Image for an attached image leads to the insertion in the Summary editor instead of the content editor.
  • Error with watching all for documents and categories.
  • When a document contains sections removed from public view, gaps appear in sections numbering for user not able to see those sections....

Read the rest of this update entry...
 
In some way, but in fact it's very oriented towards document/tutorial writing, with pagination, sections and stuff like that.
 
Whoa ... Cool addon. Congrats on such a powerful addon.

I see this layout for the landing page : (which is List view)

Can you give some screenshots of Grid View and Article view ?

Q: Can the sidebar be removed ?
Q: Can you add a demo article with a discussion thread ? I'd like to see what it would look like.

The Manual ratings are awkward because the text appears to the right and the different sized text displaces the stars. I think the Text should appear to the right of the stars to avoid this.

I would love to be able to have the thread about the manual below the manual itself. Is that possible?
Great idea.

So is this basically like an alernate to the XF Resource Manager, in a way? Seems very similar in nature.
It's easy to assume that because the default (List View) layout seems identical.

I keep thinking the most natural view for an Article manager would be a category view. Where the landing page is a pretty list of the categories.

Find them attached :)

Q: Can the sidebar be removed ?

No not completely.

Configured our forum so that in test zone you get thread created in our forum test area.

Not sure what you mean.

Great idea.

The idea is not that bad but it hasn't been reported in our suggestion forum I think.

@XFA major bug, everytime I load a guide, it's doing huge amounts of inserts to the bbcode cache. Shouldn't it be only inserting once? It's inserting every page load causing slowdowns.
 
Seen you had lists and bold bbcodes so tried like that.

But I don't have such behavior so I must say am a bit surprised.

Do you have any add-on installed that messes with the bbcode or the cache somehow ?
 
Hi
I just installed this and am trying to import from Resource Manager.
I did an import of some of the categories (with documents) and it worked, no issues. This is importing from Resource Manager.
But now I am trying to import a second set of an am getting this.

Some caveats: I am also running Resource Managers from Audentia (I have been using this since it was Waindigo's). They have also written a custom addon that uses the RM for a Event Registration system. So it may be that there is a conflict there. I am trying to move everything out of the RM that is not part of the Event Registration.

Also, the documents that I have already imported seem to be fine. I can view and download them and I can create new ones. But any time I try to do anything in the ACP I get this error.

And I do mean anything. I cannot rebuild any caches or pretty much anything.

Any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks
Leslie

OK, so I tried disabling the Document Addon and I get a bunch of different errors depending on what I try to do. Essentially, my ACP is completely shut down right now. I have tried several things and all give the above error or a different one if I disable the Document Addon. The really bizarre thing is that I installed ths on my test site and had no problems. It's running fine over there.

Any ideas about what I can do to fix this? I need to get my ACP working again.
