Not sure how to pull the news onto my main page from the news.php script.

I would appreciate your help in doing this.

Thanks,

Gary

You need to use a server side include on your home page.

Well, unfortunately you cannot include the file on an index.html page.

The page has to be either .php or .phtml - whichever your server is configured to parse php code.

You can then include it like so:

Hope that helps.

Thanks for everyone's help, after making the post, I thought that maybe an SSI would work.


This hack is really terrific, and you can see my site at

Well....it's running on my home page as an SSI and it works. And, my home page is an HTML document. :)

Right Rob, in my last post I did not make it clear that it is working for my as an ssi on my html based front page.

Accually I am running mine on my index.html page. Via SSI. No problems as of yet.

sorry if this was answerd but

is there any news on getting vB code and line breaks to work yet ??

That's good to know, thanks.
They look nice, but personally I wouldn't need them. I'm sure many others would, though... Maybe have it as a selectable option in the next release.

Oh, I just thought of something that's possible with this hack... A picture for each news post! All one would need to do is make an <IMG src="webhost.com/news/images/thumbnails/$threadid"> somewhere in the HTML, and perhaps have it link to another image with the $threadid for a full sized image. Hey, that's cool... Thanks for the hack, it's very flexible! :)

Woa, I learned something new today about SSI's. :)

Line breaks and other stuff are on the way...
