The CSS affecting all of your forum now?

Nevermind...hot linked images are quoting in the regular forums.  I was looking at an attachment that was added into the post from my upload system (it looked like a hot linked image)...no attachments will quote, only hot linked images.

I'm good!    (for now, anyway!)

OK, I have a request!  I tried tinkering with this but it appears to beyond my skill level!  LOL...

My members would like a side box or something added to the article gallery that would show them the author's other article posts.  In my case, I am using the article gallery as a type of Wiki and Member Blog...so when a member starts a blog, they want to be able to see the other posts in their blog.  

I already have links to their articles in their post bits and profile page, but it would be nice to have them displayed on each of their article gallery posts for others to reference.  This box should only be on the atcgal_showthread template, for example...here is part 2 of a members blog.  I would like a box that shows a link to his part 1 blog as well as all subsequent blog posts.  This box should be right under the search box (above the comments) and contain just the thread title as a link.

What do you think?  Can this be done?

Do you mean like a "Related Article"?

Possibly...if we can filter related articles by author and only from the article forum?

I want to call it "Author's Archives" and have a clickable list of maybe 10 other articles that the author has written.

What I meant by the "Related Article" is, try to look at this Lyric thread:
http://www.14.mynie.co.cc/showthread.php?tid=173

At the right box, there is a Related Song. It is a link to the other thread, specified by user, when they create the thread.

That could work but I would rather have a short list of the author's other articles so a member can see them and click on one much like the archives in a wordpress blog.  I don't want to be picky!  LOL...I'll use what ever we can get working!  Actually...something specified by the author wouldn't work, they would never take the time to enter the info.  It would have to be automatic.

OK, I got a side box added...it is titled "Author's Archives" but I don't know how to get the articles into it!

I would love for it to adjust the size of the box according to how many articles the member has to display.

Unfortunately, you need a plugin for that.
As an alternative, you can put the "View All Articles by This Author" link, using the uid filter.

I would love to write a plugin, but unfortunately, I have no idea even where to begin!  LOL

I guess I'll have to try the alternative link method...

i added this:

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=33&amp;filterxt_uid={$post['uid']}">Display All Images By {$post['username_formatted']}</a>

---

But it doesn't seem to work properly.  It pulls all articles sorted by author.  I would like to display just one author's article list?  This is the same code I used for postbit link...?
