I'll do some reworking after I finish a server upgrade for EN World.

Off the top of my head you'd have to add the news thread's query, then use that. When I can find the time I'll look this up.

I have been heavily modifying your code to fit my site (this is a fantastic script by the way) and I have run into a wall. I have split up my news posts into their respected category forums, but there is one annoying problem. The main page does not sort the news by time posted. Instead it is done (I believe, could be mistaken) by which forum it searches through first. How would I go about changing this so it is sorted by time posted? Again, fantastic hack!

It's been awhile since I've looked at this hack, so I'm not sure how to dodge that problem. I'm currently enrolled in an SQL course at ITT Tech, and once I finish it I should be better equipped to deal with this functional but still somewhat glitchy hack. This is what I have in mind for the next version.

1. The hack overall will become a display mode for news.php and exist in the same code. I intend to retain most if not all of Brian's original functionality for the news module. Basically you'll see one new line on your vbacmps config: Display as Digest? *Yes *No; with the default being no.
2. I'm now aware some of the ugliness in the code is due to the fact you can't nest while loops - so I'm gonna have to put a stop to that.
3. The number of days will still default at 7, but modifying it will be possible from the admincp
4. Users will be able to submit a scan range to the page in two ways determined by the admin. Method one is to allow them to choose weeks (i.e. Week starting Monday, January 3rd). The week starting will refer back to the user setting for start of the week in the case. Or the admin may simply set a day range, but be careful with that in case some yahoo decides to, say, search all news items between a couple of days that are months apart (which would set up a highly intensive query on the server). Obviously, a max time differential would be needed, now that I think about it (14 days sounds good to me).

Any other suggested features would be welcome.

I really wanted to see this mod into action :ermm: anyone has a live link? this is what i'm getting in the link from the first post:

I have modify this mod a little bit, but here's my link:

You can see the real mod in action with this link:

Sorry bout that - moved the furniture at EN World

The link above's corrected, but it is now at simply http://www.enworld.org

I really would like to use this... But I'd like to keep some of the functionality of the original news posting for vBA. Namely being able to reply to the news posts and being able to "Read More" ... Any quick fix for this?

GiJoe,

Take a look at my site: http://www.ahazi.org

It has the comments which was added in from the discussion on the 2nd page of this thread.

Is that basically what you mean?

This has been installed on my website :)
