This is a great hack, thanks alot, was just woundering if you could sort me out, iam missing a few images and as far as i know they are all in the correct place, can someone take a quick look at my page then point out what i must do.

When i change the image folder to forums/images i nolonger get images on my forum but ok on portal page

Installed and working nicely although it took longer than anticipated due to me leaving a dot in the path (instructions are not idiot proof :D ) - very nice hack!

I have a problem, dunno what I did wrong...

When I run the adv_index.php file, the different boxes seem to work, but the middlesection is not there...


Here?s a sg...

Anyone got an idea what I did wrong, or am missing to do?


Thanks,

Dan

Rids, I did the same thing. I left the period in the forums direct path in the config.php file and it took me about an hour to find the proplem.

Dan,
Make sure you set up a forum called news and a forum called polls and place a test thread in each one. Also make sure that the news and poll forum ID number is placed in your advanced home options page.

I also have one question, when you install the hack it gives you the option to set the correct URL to your image folders. I need to change the url path again because my news icons(icons.icon1.gif) are not displaying correctly. Where do I change this path at?

**Update - Thanks Tigga, I changed the path on options>thread display options and it works.

How can I change it so that people can see the attached pictures on the news o the portal? So not a link but seen on the news complete!?

Texas & Snowbot - The script uses vBulletin's default navbar, so if you wanted to add a link to the forums there it would need to be added to your navbar template. If you only wanted the link to be displayed on your homepage you could add an if condition like this around the code for the link.
<if condition="$index_header">
(Kind of a cheap way to do it, but it works :p)

Blackbeard - You have to change the image paths to /forums/images

Dan - As Jeff said, you have to create a news forum and make a post in there before the newsbits will work.

Jeff - If you're talking about the default icon that is displayed if no icon is selected, that's listed in your main vBulletin options => Thread Display Options => Show Default Post Icon. Did you change the path at all during that part of the install? The script *should* be able to determine the correct path and update that for you in most cases, so I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem with that part. ;)

Symbian - Currently it will display the thumbnail of an image if you have image resizing turned on. Otherwise it displays a link to the file/image. If you wanted to change that you would need to modify the file and remove all of the code for the attachments except for the part that actually displays the images. If that was done though, you wouldn't be able to attach files other than image files in your news posts.

Stupid me, wrote the wrong ID number for the news forum, everything is working like a charm now :)

Thanks for the help guys!

A request. How about a custom block to your newsforum as links and when you click on them they not only display the news but under that a react system where reply's kan be added so...you have a newsitem and under it a display of instant reactions.

Dan - Glad you got it figured out. Hope you enjoy the script. :)

Nuclion - I'm not sure I completely follow you here... Are you basically saying you want to display the replies to a news post under that post on the homepage?
