Ah... yes... hard to believe we had this conversation 3 years ago about whether there was native treatment of fields in Pages. In essence I think I understand what you did since Pages doesn't have that field created natively and ultimately can't know where to look for an excerpt database field without specifying it. I recall being able to do this on another site.

Ah, the text is very light and was difficult to see. It looks like the default may be the new IPS default skin with tabs, which has also been improved since I last saw it a while back. Nice theme. I'd want to make a few tweaks for visibility and probably remove the animated area in the header and reduce the size, which I'm sure can be managed with just a little bit of code. I like the cleanliness. Well done.

Kudos. When I was active here before Pages was not really ready for prime time even though it worked. Looks like much has changed and presentation with your addon looks excellent and pages load reasonably quickly too. A couple of questions: - Are there any templates you'd suggest? I want to make sure that it retains the crisp simplicity you've displayed for a professional/business appearance - which might be using a theme by Heosforo? - I've noticed that the templates use the existing text in blocks from the article. I can't remember but I'm very sure that you can also use snippet summaries instead (or "excerpts" as they are called in Wordpress) Can you confirm? -

Can I assume that the demo for this theme is the default on the forum? I think right now you're defaulting Chocolate - which is way cool but I'm looking for dark text, light background. Looks very nice and clean.

I just realized what you mean. When going into a forum and browsing a list of topics, this can show an ad after a certain number of topics, e.g. between ever 5 topics on a page so between 5 and 6, 10 and 11, 15 and 16.

Not sure I understand what this does. Would help to have a longer explanation.

When you're not logged in you get an ugly IPS error. We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2D161/2 Sad. Ridiculous. <facepalm> No, not you @Adriano Faria - your addons and modifications are legendary. I look at your Tutorials addon and I'm wondering why on earth Pages wasn't created in this fashion. One guy puts together some incredibly nice looking work, takes it a very long way and URLs generate just a tutorials slug and an articles slug (which I guess could even be shortened. No categories are part of the URL. Thus you can move tutorials wherever you want to go, similar to the way forums work. While it's a bit similar to blogs I'd say that this is well designed and has some other advantages. Really great work. If I could use this instead of Pages I would... will take a closer look, just wanted to tell you about the above, let you know you should put the demo info in the addon listing in the download page too.

I agree with the OP even though you do have a point. Perhaps "urgent fix needed" may be technically the most accurate. While I can appreciate your workaround I can say that on active or visible sites the notion of editing away mass spam is an utter nightmare. You'll spend significant time needlessly deleting automated entries or those created by human drones. It's why I haven't implemented certain features as of yet.

A Best Answer mod isn't so simple. It MUST be tied into everything related to awards like the core. It's useless to have a reputation/like system if BA doesn't factor into the final equation. User cards need to have BA's appear, which is probably at least as significant if not more than Likes. Promotions need to be tied in along with a value associated to BA. While I like the simple concept of "pinning" a single post, the proper execution of a BA mod really needs the whole gamut you'd expect.
