Which thread did you reply to?

yes when i add my post there isn't any comments but now i see 1 comment so strange :p

Just to let you all know, I am still working on the next version of this. I would say I'm about 2/3rds done.

In the meantime, anyone that has already installed the existing version, you can delete the field "summary" from the thread table. It isn't used at all, and I don't know how that part got in there! :o

Any news on the next release?

[QUOTE]In the meantime, anyone that has already installed the existing version, you can delete the field "summary" from the thread table.

There is no summary feature. It's not part of the existing hack or the planned update to the hack; it was just one way I thought I was going to do something, then I decided to do it a different way, and forgot to take it out of the instructions.

I installed this hack, and I really like it. However, I have encountered some problems.

1. It seems to include the Admin forums on the sidebar. I would like to have some control as to elliminated certain forums from the latest posts.

2. The script right now seems to ignore my custom icons completely. Is there way to make these work?

3. I would really like an option to 'cut off' my news articles. Is there any way we could include a [snip] tag on the article and that would cut off the article right there (manually, rather than after X paragraphs).

1. I'll be sure to fix it so it excludes forums a user does not have permission to view in the next release. (Does it do that with the main news, too?)

2. Are your custom post icons named the same way as the standard icons? In other words, with the file name being "iconx", where x is a number?

3. The next release will include a way to let you change what shows up in the news page, so that it does not have to be a direct copy of the thread's first post. So if you wanted to post an entire article to start the thread, but trim it down to the first two or three paragraphs for the news, you could do that, or if you put your articles in quote tags for threads but don't want the quote tags for the news, you could do that. Basically, when you submit a thread that you've checked to be a news item, you will be taken to a new form with a copy of the thread's first post (what you just typed out), where you can make separate edits to the message body to control what appears on the news page.

There will be an option to not have the summary - just the headline - show up, right?

And will the URL field be in the next release?

Any update? I'm a little anxious in case you can't tell :).
