    this is the main reason behind this thread ... we all *****ed when we saw it in the Beta and we didn't want it ... but we were stuck with it so we got used to it , our members got used to it and BAM it was removed and not even mentioned that it was being done , no mention of it in the change logs , no call out on the Hey the new features of VB.4.04. we decided to change the CMS comments section ...

    I have fixed more bugs with this release which added other bugs and stuff to tick my group of members off where half don't even post on the comments anymore either ...

    I noticed this as well but thought it was me.

All the comments are now in both areas, and regardless of where a user posts a reply, in the article comments or in the forum thread, they match.

    I'm not sure why this wouldn't work in your scenario? If I emailed you an article, and you wanted it on your CMS, don't you also have a forum category where it would slide into as well?
    Well I promise publishers that all their articles will be published under THEIR name. That's why i need a post of theirs to promote, even if they submit their article to me via email. I see no other way to publish an article under another user, unless I go into the DB.

    In time i plan to add their avatar, signature, and other details to their CMS posts.

    So I looked into the VB.org mod, and thats still a no go.

    I need a fix for this too, but wont use this mod. Reason? The only way to post an article in someone elses name is to promote one of their posts. Usually a completely unrelated post, if they have sent an article in via email, and never posted it on the forum. I've even removed the text that says where the article originated from because it's never related.

    So this mod is nice, but wont work for me. VB needs to fix this.

    I'm amazed that they left this functionality in long enough for us to get comfy, and then yanked it causing all sorts of issues. What is going on?

    Sigh....

    Simplify your life, your programming issues, and integrate your CMS and blogs so that cms comments and blog comments and forum "comments" are the exact same thing, residing in the exact same database, with the exact same permission systems, and the exact same search indexing and the exact same quick reply and advanced editors!
    Exactly!

    i agree. It is extremely frustrating that you left this in for 3 revisions and then yanked it on the fourth. Everyone on my forum uses it now and you've frustrated a lot of my users. Please release a php file so we can put it back and next release create an on off switch in the forum settings.

    *edit* i've just fixed it myself based on what mystics said:

    Comment out line 317 to 320 in showthread.php.
    PHP Code:
    //if ($thread['forumid'] == $vbulletin->options['vbcmsforumid'] and !can_moderate($thread['forumid']))
    //{
        //eval(standard_error(fetch_error('invalid_comment_forum', $vbphrase['forum'], $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
    //} 
    now open forumdisplay.php, scroll down to line 138.

    Replace the following
    PHP Code:
    if (!$foruminfo['forumid'] or ($foruminfo['forumid'] == $vbulletin->options['vbcmsforumid'] and !can_moderate($foruminfo['forumid']))) 
    with this:
    PHP Code:
    //if (!$foruminfo['forumid'] or ($foruminfo['forumid'] == $vbulletin->options['vbcmsforumid'] and !can_moderate($foruminfo['forumid'])))
    if (!$foruminfo['forumid']) 
    you will have to do this if you upgrade your forum again or when ever you replace the showthread.php and forumdisplay.php files. Hopefully next release vbulletin team creates an on/off switch for this.
    thank you!!

    I think this forum should stay a technical one, making comments to the articles become visible in the search instead.

    What are we becoming here, an election? How about setting up a vote before making drastic changes?

    I would only ask that in the What's new section there were showing comments from the CMS article, not from the forum - since users get frustrated once they can't get to some post.

    Also, if I make vbCMS comments forum unsearcheble - this means no one will be able to find comment in the articles? This also seems frustrating to me.. Wasn't this understandable from the very beginning that this type of software behavour is illogical and frustrating?

    I can't understand - vB developers remove this feature, also some ad places - why its 4.0.4 and there is still so many bugs and also the logic of the software looks undefined? Strange and annoying...
