Hack News v3.0

[grog6]

I finally decided to translate it in english (i'm french) :nervous:

This hack allows you to add on your index page a system of news viewable by all your members. You manage news via the admin CP, they are displayed on the forum in the shape of a "marquee" text.

You can insert HTML when you add a news in the admin CP and so, you can insert images, or effects on your text.

You can have the number of news you want, display will automatically adjust :)

You can totally customize the display too by editing the 3 new templates to make it more beautifull or adjust it with your visual theme !

Colors automatically adjust too with your themes but you can change it (put a background...) by modifying the templates

Have fun with it, i hope you will like ;)

Dont put this variable in the header but in your template forumhome ! ;)

For Ninth Dimension Each news is defined a a mediumtext in the DB, you can increase it by longtext but i think it is enough so !
All news you add are displayed, there is no limit, to remove a news item, just remove it from the DB via the admin CP ! ;)

Choose a number as id for your news item

Each news has to have a different number id ! ;)

I have installed newshack 3.0 and went over to check and see if all the installation was done correctly (and it was) but the news does not appear. I have pasted $news_affichage right after $header and still nothing.

Could it be that the weatherhack is causing some problem?

[maverick1969]

Alors la je dit bravo pour ce hack

[grog6]

Thx a lot Maverick1969 (Merci beaucoup ;))

K_2 : Can you create me a member access to your forum to see the pb, normally there is no pb to install the hack ;)

[maverick1969]

NEW VERSION : 4.0

Here is the new version of my hack

Modification between version3.0 and version4.0 :

- Best integration in the forum due to the variable {contenttatblewidth} in the news templates concerned, so, news templates'width is now the same that your forum's width.
- you can now add smilies directly
- You can now put vbcodes directly
- You can choose to display or no news from your admin CP

The archive countains an upgrade file to upgrade from v3 to v4 easily ;)


Modification par rapport a la version 3:

- Meilleure integration dans le forum grace a l'insertion d'une variable {contenttatblewidth} dans les templates news concernees, ce qui a pour effet d'ajuster automatiquement la largeur des news a celle de votre forum (par ex si vous avez defini une taille differente par rapport a l'origine)
- Affichage des smileys directement via leur code
- Possibilitee de mettre des vbcodes
- Possibilit?e d'afficher ou non les news, gerables directement depuis le CP

L'archive contient egalement un fichier de Mise a jour pour passer plus facilement de la version 3 a la 4 ;)

Here is the french version
Voici la version francais

[grog6]

Here is the english version
Voici la version en anglais

ARCHIVE UPDATED
The news.php for the admin CP is now in english ;)

[grog6]

with news display options in the admin CP
avec option d'affichage des news dans le CP admin

[grog6]

and result with Vbcodes and smilies
Resultat avec des vbcodes et des smileys

:banana:

[VampireMan]

Merci! :-)

[cirisme]

Umm, the English version(4) has a French option...

INSERT INTO `setting` VALUES (201,2,"Afficher les news sur votre forum ?","news_affich",1,"Cette option vous permet de choisir d\'afficher ou pas sur votre forum le systeme de news","yesno",7);

Is a translation available?

[yxboom]

Babelfish says: To post the news on your forum?", "news_affich",1," This option enables you to choose to post or not on your forum the system of news

Anyway when you click Submit it resets itself.

[grog6]

Hummmm .... Where do you see option in french in the english archive ?? I've just downloaded it again and my query is in english :

INSERT INTO `setting` VALUES (201,2,"Display news on your forum ?","news_affich",1,"This option allow you to choose or no if you want to display news system on your forum","yesno",7);

[One-Team]

wooow
one team installed :p

[yxboom]

When you use the news update 3_4 it is French.

[yxboom]

I can't get the news to stick everytime I press submit it goes to 0 when adding a news.

[Entourage]

Got the same as yxboom, I installed it, everything did go perfect. But when your in the admin cp, and press: Manage tour news or add --> the things there are in french (like yxboom says: news.php is frenche)

pls upload an english version. Tnx

[grog6]

Oups, a file is in french in the englsih version ?
Sorry, it's too late now for me to dot it, it's 3:42AM in France ;)

Do it tomorrow ;)

[Entourage]

hehe np, thank you in advance.

[grog6]

It's now OK, I've updated the archive here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&postid=369447#post369447

News.php is now in english ;)
Just replace your by the new of the archive

[Entourage]

is it me or is the news.php still in french? pls recheck the zipfile

[Dan]

/me clicks install

Thanks

Edit:
Is there a way to make the text smaller?

[grog6]

@oricon : Which text ?

The marquee text ? Just use Vbcode to reduce the size ;)

[grog6]

@Entourage : It's you ;)
Remove your Internet temporary files and dl it again ;)

[chitown]

is there anyway to set this up for only certain usergroups to see?

[grog6]

Add restriction access to modification to add in the index.php such as

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X) {

............ Modification for my hack .........

}

;)

[mitomcua]
