Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (N/A)
Modified By Rodney Joyce  on 6/3/2008 11:12:06 PM)

Can we integrate userprofile with Ventrian's Article Module like the core forum? I want to place something like "view all my articles" (just like view all my posts in the forum) on the profile page. Can I do it? How? Thanks.


6 months ago I did not know how HTML was spelled.

Re: Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (Australia)

Yes, you can. What you have to do is work out what the other module is doing. For example, click on view all my articles in the Ventrian module, and grab the URL. Work out which is the UserID and add this into the profile template like the Forum change.

I think there are some posts in this forum that discuss this - search for Ventrian on this Forum (another user posted the solution I think).

I show the authors photo in the Ventrian Articles module - see this poker article as an example.


Thanks

Re: Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (N/A)

Yeah, I was thinking about the same thing. I would like to show the pic of the author beside his/her article. Can you please tell me how to do it? I don't know anything about html or programming. I am new to all this stuff. Thanks.

Re: Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (Australia)

I have now also customized the comments to show the author - here is an example on this poker article (I've also changed a lot of language strings to make it more "casual"):

 

<table cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="0" width="100%" align="center" border="0" ID="Table1">
    <tr>
        <td class="articleTable">
            <table cellSpacing="1" cellPadding="3" width="100%" border="0" ID="Table2">
                <tr align="left">
                    <td class="articleTopCell" align="left"><span class="NormalBold">[PUBLISHSTARTDATE]</span></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td class="articleContentCell">
                        <table width="100%" ID="Table3">
                            <tr>

                                <td class="Normal" align="left" width="100%">
                                    <span class="articleTitle">[TITLE]</span>

Re: Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (Czech Republic)

Hi, I am sorry for asking my question, but i can't find solution in forum. What should I write into template in ST User Profile, when I want display link "View all user Ventrian articles" ? I was looking for ID in link on my website, but my Ventrian articles don't expose it. For example like this: http://kamzol.dnh.cz/Blog/tabid/56/ctl/MyArticles/mid/508/language/cs-CZ/Default.aspx Can you get me an advice please?

For your profile template, try adding: < a href="/Articles/tabid/122/articleType/AuthorView/AuthorID/[USERID]/Default.aspx" >My Articles< /a > less the extra spaces before > abd after <. Plus make sure you have the correct page and tabid.

Re: Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (N/A)

Something you may all also find interesting:

In NA, you can now add a photo from ST in the NA archives module for your author list. This would be implemented the same way as adding the profile image to an article. See this post:

http://www.ventrian.com/Support/ProductForums/tabid/118/forumid/4/postid/31840/view/topic/Default.aspx

These tokens have been added to the most recent release of Ventrian NA (News Articles)

Re: Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (N/A)

Out of interest, I have done another custom template for the Poker Blogs section on PokerDIY with the Ventrian News Article module and the UserProfile Module. You can see an exampel of a poker blog post here too.


Thanks

Re: Integration with Ventrian's Article Module  (N/A)

Hey Rodney,

Looks REALLY good! BTW there is a new update to NA and is the most promissing yet. Thought you would also like to know that when hovering over the RSS icon in the right sidebar for your bloggers, a nasty token is showing in the description rather than their name..........

Cheers!

Not at the moment I'm afraid - I spent about 3 days of solid work on this and I would like to retain the uniqueness on PokerDIY. I may change my mind though so ask me again in 6 months ;)


Thanks
