It would be great if this can be implemented. Other than that, this plugin is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for developing it.
BTW…I also have the Gravity Forms installed (which is an expensive premium plugin that supports front end posting), but i would choose your plugin over that any day.
Keep up the good work. Great job!
I’ve been trying to make this work for hours with no success. Can anyone help? Here are my questions again:
1. How to add resource box?
2. How to show only one category on the submission page (i.e. Blogs)?
3. How to allow users to add new tags for every post (instead of selecting from the existing ones)?
Thanks

Hi,
1. I don’t understand what do you mean with “resource box”. Is it something related with attach some files to the post?
2. It’s not so complicated to change. Replace the line 248 in includes/social-articles-manage-functions.php, for this 2 lines:
$myCategory = get_category_by_slug( 'YOUR_SLUG_HERE' );
$category_ids = $myCategory->term_id;
It should works.
3. This is complicated, because you should implemente the same behavior than wordpress. I mean, ajax validation before save.
Thanks for using our plugin!
Hi Broobe,
Thanks for getting back to me.
1. I meant to say signature box. Here’s an example:
http://www.empowernetwork.com/blog/power-of-mastermind/?id=godiamond
If you scroll down to the end of the post, you’ll notice an “About the author” box with the user’s avatar and a few words about himself.
Is this possible.
2. I’ll make the suggested changes right away. Thanks.
3. If this is complicated to achieve, then I think I’d rather not use tags at all. How can i disable them completely and remove them from the submission form?
Thanks and great job for creating such an AWESOME plugin.

Hi,
1. This is not something related with the article. I mean, you should resolve this requirement using the BP member fields. Then, you will have to modified the post loop to retrive that information.
3. Just remove the lines 61 to 67 in includes\templates\members\single\articles\new.php
😉
Thanks Broobe. I’ll do that…
BTW…I sent you an email a few hours ago with a couple of bugs i encountered with your plugin. In case you didn’t get it here they are again:
1. The images gets uploaded and set as Featured image for the post but it’s not displayed in the post.
2. The blog post content gets formatted upon submission and the line length is shorter. What I mean is that each line is shortened to about 70 characters.
I’m using WP 3.5.1 and Buddypress 1.7. You mentioned in another post that you’re working on a new version that supports BP 1.7. When do you think you’ll release this next update?

Hi again 😉
1. Social Articles uses the WP feature image. So, you template must show the featured image. If no, you won’t see it 🙁
You can find some information about how to show the featured image here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails
2. This is wierd. I’m gonna check it.
I hope to upload a new version this week…Sorry for the delay.
Keep in touch!
Broobe,
I’ve just noticed another bug. I can’t get a new post to be submitted for For review, no matter what i do.
When i submit a new post, it is saved as a draft, even if i check the “Submit post for review” checkbox.
Any ideas?
