Replace the template news_fin by

@skullycapone : the text shown to guests (please register...) disapeared if the user is logged
To add new news, go to your admincp > News and manage them as you want :)

However : sorry for this "absence"

Hurm, I'll review the code this evening to make it 100% compatible with RC4, other templates code may have changed since RC1 and my code has to be improved and modified

Sorry for this :(

Are you sure you didn't do an error during the installation ?

Check up modifications in the index.php please

Have you well activated in News Options the option do display them on the forumhome ?

Ah, thanks for the info Pikok! That should help, big time. :D

ok installed with the advice you gave red_baron in the news_fins but now everything at the bottom is centered, example whats going on is in the center. Any solution to this would be greatfully appreciated.

sweet! installed.

I used this as a "now playing" ticker for the embeded music I play on my forumpage, worked out nicely! You can all check it out at:

www.hookupboard.com

indeed it fix the table but it center everything at the bottom of main page ...any idea how to fix that? thanking you in advance :)

i have checked everything
and everything was done
and yes i do have it turned on in the option
or i wouldnt be seeing anything on the forumhome
like i stated before
it shows the box just no news in it
i have added the news

We are doing a modified version with an automatic installation, it will resolve the problem ;)

If you can't wait, add at the end of your news_fin template

hello ihape one problems. The box not indicated into my forum has everything so inserted pointed there. Help please

thank you that did the trick

thank you very much..it works like a charm cheers :)

Guys will this work in conjunction with the shoutbox, I also have one on my forum?

regards

@steve : yes it should

@klaus die maus : I understood nothing

@skullycapone : give me an access to your board so I could verify it, but it's really strange it doesn't work if it was done correctly. When you insert a news, does it record it in the database ?

i had to redo the hole board due to a mistake i made
i am trying to redoo my hacks now
but it does say it was saveing it

i redone me board fully
and redone the hack still nothing
VBDev
i sent u a pm giveing u the info u need ot log into the board
thanks for the help

Is it possible to give my Mod the access to edit the news box through their mod cp?

thanks

@Matthew : herm, I've never used the modcp but I think that if you do the same modifications in admincp/index.php and modcp/index.php and that you upload the news.php in the modcp directoy there would be no problems ;)

Does this hack work on vb3 gold? i had it on RC1 and loved it

I post the version for vB3 Gold this evening, I have to test it, there were some modifications :)

Our team has opened its support forum.

Now we will make support on our forum

So if you want better support on our hacks go on our forum: http://www.vbulletindev.net/

There are not a lot of hacks for the moment but it will come.

Cya soon on our forum :)

It worked for me with vb3 gold.. So what modifications where made???

Hack updated

Some template modifications, an automatic installation
Templates cleaned ^^

was is necessary then in order to upgrade to the upgraded version???

I get this error when trying to upgrade.
This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.0.0
File version: 3.0.0 Release Candidate 4

any idea how to fix this?

@moley : in xml template's file, replace vB version with 3.0.0, I'll update the zip, I forgot to do it before ;)

It doesn't let me post long messages. It says MySQL error.

Haven't read this entire post, but this hack shouldn't be final.

The templates have french hard coded in them, and you can't input news with apostrophes in them; it doesn't look like slashes are added before the database query.

Typos also, like: News ofe "forumname."

Once you get all the little bugs and typos worked out, it works nicely.

One suggestion, is to have a text area for the input box instead of a one line input box.

Exactly, that sucks big time...

And another little thing, when I collapse the news box, it will not remain that way when I enter a subforum and then go back to the index. What's the use of that function if it's not configured?

Other than that, great hack!

its a very nice hack.
but i have a suggestion.
how about if u have built a own vbulletin page and let the users type in new from this page?
It would be better if avereybody could give some information in the newsfeed.
Would it be possible to create something like that?

In the admin penal <--- you need to look at that.

well i ran the auto install , done everything as stated and then got parse error index.php on line 50

which is

,
'danews',
'danews_news',
'danews_fin'

ive tried everything and just lost atm :( any help ?

EDIT: Thanks guys, i read the followups and figured it out that it was missing a debug line in config.php.

Works like Charm, it will be cool if the news ticket is going vertical, instead of horizontal.. because when we add more and more news as seperate ones.. we need a big amout of placeholder for the news. If its like a news ticker, which sends one news at a time but in horizontal or vertical way.. it wud be cool.

Just my suggestion :)

natrails,
In the index.php, when u insert those codes below the other bits, please do this:

Instead of adding:

,
'danews',
'danews_news',
'danews_fin'

Replace tat line with this:

'danews',
'danews_news',
'danews_fin'


Then go to the variable that is right above 'dannews', and add a comma after it in order to get ride of that parase error.

If u dunno wat i mean.. check this example:
Before:

'Test'
,
'danews',

After:

'Test',
'danews'.


As you can see, your comma is what was causing the pbm. I had this erorr and i done exactly like wat i am suggesting u and it worked :)

i get when i install it
If i want add news on sidebar how can i do that?
please help me
