What's the best news hack out there?

[Gutspiller]

I have seen all sorts, but which is the best? Or maybe the better question is, which do you like the most? I am looking at installing one, but since they all take quite a bit of time to install I didn't want to waste my time and find out I didn't like the one I installed and there was a better one out there.

Any help would be good.

Thanks! :up:

It depends... where do you want to put the news? Do you already have a PHP-driven front page?

Well, I was thinking of putting it on my main forumz page which can be found at http://www.TheForumz.com and it is currently a php extension, but I don't know php, I just had to do that because I wanted a latest threads part. If there is a news hack that works acrossed domains though, that would be totally kick A$$, because the site I would really like to put the news on is http://www.CuttingTheEdge.com (going to redesign it of course)

Let me know, what you think my best bet is. If there is a really good news hack that doesn't work acrossed domains though, I would sacrifice it being on http://www.cuttingtheedge.com and have it on http://www.TheForumz.com for it to have more features / runs better.

Thanks.

Every script can be used accros domains, very easily.
Placing this code:
readfile('http://www.domain.com/script.php');
in any of your pages will give you the output of script.php (from domain.com, even if you are on site.net).

Good info. :up: So does that mean, that I could actually, steal err, I mean borrow another sites php files without them even knowing?

very interesting. This could come in, VERY useful.

MUHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH! Yes, very useful indeed.

OK, now back to this "best news hack" thing. Maybe I should ask you this, If YOU were going to use a news hack which one would you use? (And don't tell me you would just make one yourself :D )

Thanks for the info so far too.
