In global2.php there was a require to admin/config.php and in the require statements on my index.php the suggestion was to require the same file. I commented out the require on the index page, that didn't work. Commented out the one on the global2.php file, that made things even worse.

I have it working fine, but mine doesn't know how to read bbcode. I was hoping all this would fix that.

hmm, You removed my path from the global2.php and added your own correct? (I think there were a few instances)

Yep, sure did.

k hmm if i remember correctly that is related to cookies, did you change the cooking setting in the CP to .yourdomain.com ?

also you dont want to include the file in the top line with the other files, you would want to include it somewhere else on the page

<? include('/home/sandieg/public_html/forum/PluhNews.php'); ?>

Ahh, I made the require statements the first thing on my index page and it worked :)

Now, the only problem is that the path to the smilies is wrong and I get the red x box :(

Nevermind, now the smilies work too :) It's all working 100% now! WOOHAW!

Now I shouldn't get any "Why doesn't this work?" questions from all the team managers trying to use it :)

lol congrats, always ends up bein somthin easy ;) Im gonna end up being an expert on this script lol

What about a teaser line and "Click here" for the full story where you get a separate page with the full article (that doesn't look like the forums)? And the ability to included attachments within the article...

Steve, we alreasdy have that in the character limit on page 11 or 13 I think. The problem is, only the latest article from any given forum can be shown on the websites template. See www.sianews.com/columnists.php for example. On each columnists page, I have their latest article, but PluhHeadlines can only link to the forum :(.

I was thinking of linking to www.sianews.com/forums/authorid.php?threadid in the Headlines file, but I don't know how to pullt hat threadid back out of the URL to make it display.

Does that even make sense :).
