Here is a different problem for you.

Ive now hacked this in for the 2nd time - including the user selectable part.
All the options show up fine at both an admin CP and user CP level.

But as soon as I switch it on, I get a blank page returned when trying to access /forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=2 (or any other forum).

Has anyone else come across this error ?
Or have any idease on how to resolve it ?

I have this hack working but the options under the ACP to turn it off or on are missing. any help is appreciated.

great hack!

check your setting group number as described earlier by hovering over the options of forum news in your ACP look at the bottom of your browser for the id no if this is diff to that of the last 3 sql changes you did then you need to edit those in sql to this number

installed on 2.3.0 and running fine with no problems. Thanks

I fought and fought with this only to find out that I had made the modifications in code I had commented out due to a previous hack :)

I had to work it around some other hacks I had but once it was working it was slick. Very very nice hack. Thanks

This is one excellent hack!
Thanks for your work on this. I love the 'offbeat news' area for the nonsense forums :)

Quick question, is there any way to add the option of forum news on the main forum home page? This would be an excellent addition as well if it's possible.

I have this running with 2.3.0 and it works perfectly. Great work.

To anyone who has this installed:
Have you been having problems with the moreover.com newsfeeds lately?

This hack was running perfectly for the last few weeks, but now it's not pulling news from moreover.com. So it takes an incredible amount of time to actually get into any forum which carries a news feed on my board.

Something has changed at moreover.com, and I'm hoping it's only temporary. I've had to turn off this wonderful hack in the Admin Control Panel until it can pull the news feeds again. I haven't been able to pull in news feeds for about 24 hours now.

If anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Working fine for me at the moment. :)
