[adrianng1996]

how do i post a new article on the knowledge base section? there dont have new article button or something..

[seetharam]

Go to Knowledge Base from the Home Screen, Click on Knowledge Base under Categories, You will see all the articles, Click on the second or third article, when that article opens up, You will see a Create Article Button on the top right hand side.

Admin: Im not sure why this button is not showing up when we go to the Knowledge Base section itself, could be a glitch.

[Frank]

I have that button under Articles/Knowledge base (right/top) as well.
You can start as Ram wrote too.
-------------
Please click on Knowledge base under categories that the article is placed correct.

Hi Frank

As Adrian mentioned, Even i am not able to see the Create Article Button when i got to Knowledge Base, Only when i go into an article (Except mine) i am able to see this button. Let me know if you want me to send some screen capture, Thanks.

[AvianAquatics]

I'd love to start! But unfortunately I have nothing to write about, maybe in the future...

[PureShrimp]

This is a great idea to get more content on the site!

You get a bottle Mosura BT-9 on top if you finish until 31/08, so you better make some thoughts.

[seetharam]

WOW, That will definitely be a challenge, Would a moderate article do ? :D

[adrianng1996]

Ok then I shall start lol. I have this idea however not 100% sure on the facts, but oh well at least I will get it checked!

[imke_j]

Just brainstorming what might be worth an article, too:


Minerals for Shrimp
Water Changes and Shrimp Health
Shrimp Food Overview
Basics on Filtration of Shrimp Tanks
Shrimp Diseases and Cure (Meds tested with shrimps and their active agents)
How to set up canister filter in a row

[seetharam]

Hey Imke

Nice Ideas , have written an article on Basics of Filtration and Types of Filters :)

[imke_j]

That's real cool - thank you!

[adrianng1996]

[Frank]

Again to all:
Please load the pics in our gallery.
Over the time more and more pics are missing in the articles and species section.

@Adrian: Your new article is visible. Thank you.

[igorKanshyn]

I hope I've posted an article, but I don't see it in the list here: http://www.shrimpnow.com/list.php/category/43-Knowledge-Base
It might be should be reviewed first.

But why there is no message about it after I clicked an 'Apply' button. I still have the same 'edit' screen :(

[adrianng1996]

slowly more and more people writing new articles :)

igorkanshyn : you have to pm or notify frank and he will post it there for you

Adrian

[seetharam]

You have to hit the Save Button, Not the Apply Button. Once you do that you will be able to see your article as unpublished. PM Frank and he will review and if approved will publish it.

[Frank]

In this case I cannot approve the article.
It´s just a link to a homepage without any informations here.

[imke_j]

We already have some good contributions - thanks for participating! Anybody else having good ideas of what we are still missing? A presentation of a breeding concept for Wine Red or KK Taiwan Bee's getting from F1 Hybrids?
