I got it, thanks anyway guys :)

@dmogg : OK ;)
@anabolicedge : idem ;) HTML isn't allowed, just bbcode but if you really want it I can make a small modification to allow HTML

@Dragon_IBA : Thx :)

Im sure this is a nice hack judging from what I have seen so far. Unfortuantely when I tried to install it, the bottom bar has disappeared, the news doesn't scroll, and it sits at the far right corner, mind you, on top of the news table.

I went thru the instructions twice step by step and I keep getting the same thing. I originally thought it may be a conflict with another hack or two I have installed, yet I'm unsure.

Anyone have any ideas?

hmmm, I guess not.

Thx. anyway.

I cant seem to find the ADMIN HELP MANAGER -

I added the "$debug = 1;" into my config.php , but still nothing ?

All it does is add "Developers Options" the side - but no ADMIN HELP MANAGER

works really well, thanks.

I installed everything and followed every instruction but what I got when I go back to my index, it shows me this...

Can you please help?

This occurs when I added the following lines to index.php...

how do i do the query thing for my database

Replace with


@wowiee : I don't know, it depends of your host ... haven't you an access to php my admin on their server ?

good taff la france ^^ thanks (merci les potos ;) )

yeah i do but when i go to query sql what do I do? what do I sleect from a dropdown menu that lists all the directories in my vbulletin db?

i put in debug whatever and there isnt anything there at all no developer thing nothing, now when i uploaded my RC3 vbulletin there was no cofig.php for some reason, in rc3 where am i supposed to put it?

i did everything fine but then when i go to my forums, i get this

Wowie, just copy this replace what you have in your /forums/index file. It should work...

i did that then i got this after turning on the news marquee when trying to access the forums:

anyway you can get the news ticker to only show 4 guests?

@VBDev:

Nice Hack, installed!

But, I ve changed the some sets into phrases, for example the menu of news. Can I also change the other ones to phrases without any probs? Like the whole menu and the red sentence showing up to guests??

@M@rkus : Yes you can change phrases without problems ;)

okay, ill change everything in phrases, if you want to, ill complete the .txt-file and you can upload it as english/german - Hack ;)

next question: is there any chance to show up the newest user?!

Nice hack! :) I have one request though... it would be better if instead of all the news piling up underneath each other, they just scroll continuously through a cycle. eg., news 1 scrolls, 2 second wait, then news 2 arrives.

I like everything to look neat and tidy on my forum. ;) If you aren't going to implement this - do you know how I could?

Thanks a bunch. :)

@M@rkuS : I didn't try but put in a news, the newest user should scroll in the news list ;)

@sephiroth : Remove the grom the news_news template ;)

I'll try these 2 mods now and say you if all is OK ;)

@sephiroth : Replace all then news_news template with :

You can add as much as you want ;) It just adds a space


@M@arkus : It doesn't work but it wasn't done for this ;)
There should be a solution by modifying the code, but it should work by adding this

At the end of the news template ;)

Thanks for the quick reply VBDev. :) Works pefectly!

will this hack work on version 2?

@ ronb : there's already a version of this hack for vb2 since a long long time, this was MY very first hack for vbulletin :) This hack must be 3 or 4 years old :D

Search 'news' in hack for vb2 and you'll find it

i'll do that. thanks

I did everythign it said...I see the admincp menu for the news, but no news box! I already added the last part to the forumhome template, and I uploaded the news file, I also clicked "yes" for show news

bump

Hi, nice hack but how can i make that guests only see the "You are not registered, click it to do it now !" Text.
My Guests see that

Hi VBDev, could you please make an option that let admins disable the marquee of the text and add another option (below 'comments') that let admin specify the url to the news. I ask for this add-on because I used to export news from some important threads and I want my members can easily go to the news by clicking the text.
Thanks in advance

@bigreefer : Use conditional in your template news_news, it's the best thing to do this and the faster ;)

@zerozone : I didn't understood what you wanted to do. Isn't it possible using BBCODE ?!

Took a little work to get it to integrate into my site, but it's a great hack and is working nicely. :D

I could not use the BBcode for this hack. Whenever I put a BBcode (like url, img....) in the comments it didn't show up in the news box (the script doesn't parse the bbcode)
One more question: I don't want to put the $news_affichage in FORUMHOME template but I want it to be in HEADER. I did put it the HEADE but it didn't show up. What should I do?

Ahhhh Just noticed a flaw when checking the hack with Mac's Safari browser. The text box stretches for however much news is contained within... gah.

Any idea how to have browser detection for this, so that either the news hack isn't there for Safari, or at least closed?

If you have Safari and want to see the occurance, my forum's here: http://www.animegamer.com/forums/index.php

You've got to reload your page.

first thank you for this great hack :)
i've installed it and it works great..however i am having troubles with some skins ..it just stretshed them to max..i have to place it over the board banner so the tables keep looking ok see the the 2 pictures bellow ..any idea what is wrong here?
thanking you in advance.
