OK here's my page. http://www.gameforumz.com

First off, how do I change font size and font color?

I tried this: <font face=\"#FF7800\"></font>, but it didn't work. :(

I am also having this error displayed at the top of the news:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /my/path/forumz/news.php:6) in /my/path/forumz/admin/functions.php on line 1500
(I added the /my/path/ instead of my real path though :) )

But the wierd thing is, when I click "Search The News" and then click my browser back button, it's gone. What does that mean? My users complained about this too. How do I fix this error? :confused:

Also I would like to get the news and headlines on the same page, but one or the other error out.

Instead of the headlines taking you to the forum, how about having it take you down the page to that news post?

I tried to put this on a forum with a moderators queue and I got an error. Is this just my board, or does it not support that? If it doesn't support it, that is a really needed feature.

It would be nice if it got the time of the post from the CP of the person that has logged in and their time settings instead of the server.

It would be a nice feature to only show a certain amount of lines of the full post. That way you could post something big and it would be say 250 characters or so and then it would have some text at the end saying "read more" that you could click and it would take you to the actual post in the forum.

When clicking the comments it would be nice if it took you straight to the 2nd post and not the very first which is just a repeat of where you just came from.

It would be cool to set the search to be defaulted to the forum where the hack is getting the news.

To have an archived news by day, with text buttons on the front page that says, see yesterdays news, etc. maybe up to week old news, then it goes into a main archive or something.

The catagories that you have talked about are much needed. It would be nice to have some check boxes where you could check what catagories you would like to see.

Just a few ;) ideas I have that I think could make this hack even better.


If somebody can help me with my problem up at the top of this post though, that would be great.

Thanks! :)

No, that wouldn't work. You are assigning a color where you should be assigning a family.

It should be something like this:

<font face=\"Verdana\" color=\"#FF7800\">

got it. Thanks. What about that other error? I editted it in. :)

I want to include my avatar on the news display. How would I go about doing this?

This script doesent work out of the box in another directory than within the forum directory any plans on releasing something that does?

Can somebody please help me with this error. Sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't. It seems like I can get the error toe quit showing if I go to the actual forumz and then come back to the news page and it doesn't show the error again. Here's the error:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /my/path/forumz/news.php:6) in /my/path/forumz/admin/functions.php on line 1500
(I added the /my/path/ instead of my real path though :))

I posted it a few messages above and got no reply. Also in my admin/functions here are lines 1496 - 1504

Can somebody please help me with this problem? :(

Thanks.

This may have already been done by someone, or maybe I missed it already, but could someone please bare with me and try to help me out?

Instead of all of the news appearing at once from a single post, is there a way to shorten it to a few sentences? (See below)

Say I have this:

Welcome to my site, this is the grand opening, I hope you like the site. We have been working hard to get the site up and running and we hope that you will enjoy your stay here.

But I would like it to be like this:

Welcome to my site, this is the grand opening, I hope you like the site. We have been working hard to get the site up and running and we hope that...... Click Here To Read More

Has someone already done this or would someone know how to do this, help is appreciated with this modifications.

Thanks ahead of time :),

You may want to try this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=latest

There is a setting that allows the latest threads to show part of the first post. The only modifing it would really need would be to make it so that when somebody replied to a post it DIDN'T move up.

Can somebody help me. I keep getting tons of emails getting these errors in them:

This happens when I try to include headlines and news on the same page.. I want to be able to include at least 3 headline files.. and the news.

I posted about this before but I really need help :(

btw, I also get an error on the page..

Warning: 1 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /path/edited/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 93

Check it out here:
http://www.dragonwolves.com/index2.php

If you are having the problem, with only 1 headline and 1 news on 1 page, then go around pages 12 - 15 of this thread and they talk about running the include statement in the header or the index file you are running to call your news. That should fix it with just using 1 headline, 1 news, per page.

My problem is that I need to run 4 headlines, 4 news, that look at 4 different configs, but they all need to be on one page.

Any help for me? :confused:

Exact same thing I am trying to do ;) I will want to run 4 headlines if not more, and one news. With different config files

Why don't you just put it in your forum directory like I did? Full functional using vbcode, etc.

just use the refresh command to redirect to it. No biggie.

See: http://www.GameForumz.com :)

Don't use 1 news, use 4 different news and just place them right under each other. :up: That is what I am planning to do. I have read every single post in this thread and I saw what you are trying to do hamma and that is the same error I get. It gives that error when you try to have multiple headlines, but it is ok to have multiple news and 1 headline, but as soon as you add 2 headlines into the index file it gives the error.

Maybe this info will help somebody troubleshoot this problem.

This happens even when I use one news and one headline =\ The second i post the headline file it errors

Are you inlcuding them correctly into your file? Some people use the pluhnews file and then put their stuff in the header and footer, but I just created a brand new php file and then included the headline and news parts into it. Either way, you need to make sure you have the require statements for the config,and admin/config in there. That could be your problem. Check on pages 10-15 on this thread. I believe it's in there. They talk about making sure to put it before the < html > tag in the file.

let me know if you need more help. :up:

Yep, did all that ;) I have the includes on the top of my index page. Like I said it works perfect till I place headlines on the same page. Ive messed with the Pluhheadlines file a bit and still havent been able to get it going

You have taken out the require lines at the top of your headline file, or placed "//" infront of the lines?

hmm, I didnt put in any //'s

But I took out the require lines that i moved to the top of the page... the require line for the config file remains in it. Because im using multiple config files

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat script and my first post w00tit00t I feel so good to own vb finnally I love the community.
/me smiles

I have another question. Is it possible to output something along the lines of this:

Title of thread with link to thread
First paragraph of the post <IMAGE HERE TO READ ON (Goes to actual thread)>

So it would like something like this:

http://www.slcentral.com/sldbbetatemplate (Where it says news coverage)

I think so if I am understanding you right. Are you saying you want both the title and the image to link to the thread?

If so I believe that is possible, infact I think the title links to the thread by default. I took mine off, because with such a big ass page it loads slow, and I figured cutting those urls out of 50+ messages on the page would help out a lot.

if you want to see what I have done with the hack you can check it out here:

http://www.GameForumz.com

Actually the main issue is getting it to just take the first paragraph of a post rather then an entire post. So for example if my post looks like this:

On the frontpage it will only show this line:

Mozilla has reached another milestone, and is now at version 0.9.8. While it's obvious that this is a horrendously slow process for one of the largest open-source program developments, it is happening.

with a link to read more which will go to the actual thread with the rest of stuff on it...

See this post in this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...323#post178323

It helps, because I have been through every post in this thread a few times so I know it pretty well. :D :up:

As long as you know basic html, I believe you should be able to change the "...More..." text to an image, and probably be able to adjust the character limit to your liking.

Yeah I can figure out the image thing....but as for the character limit, I don't even want that....I need it to be specifically the first paragraph because it will purposely be an overview of what the actual post is about...

hmm, so you want the first paragraph, no matter how many characters it has in it? I believe that could take some serious work. I don't know about that. You may want to ask FireFly, but I doubt you will get somebody to do this, without paying. But, you may get lucky.

Or did I completely misunderstand? :D

You're right, but it really shouldn't be too hard to do....I don't know enough PHP but I remember reading about something along these lines......for example, what if it just looks for 3 a break...Not really sure though as I don't know how to do it myself.

When I acces the online userlist i see something like:
Unknown Location:...
Those ppl are seyng the newsboard..

I want to know what modifications i need to make in online.php

10x

Is there anyway to force the headlines to be written in all lowercase letters?

Can I get some help here? Anytime I try to add the hack mutliple times I get errors. Can somebody PLEASE help me with this?

Also when I run the error just once on a page I get this at the very bottom of the page:

Warning: 1 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /my/path/forumz/admin/db_mysql.php on line 93

(changed the path for privacy)

I would I get it so that the headlines and news only show the latest news that was posted within the last 24 hours?

This would be really useful, that pages that have a lot of news don't take so long to load up, from loading old news.

If anybody can help with this, it would be greatly, appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm getting this error in the headlines:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /root/path/indexcopy.php:16) in /root/path/boards/admin/functions.php on line 1490

And this when I call the news:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stripslashesarray() in /root/path/boards/global.php on line 11

Any ideas what it is?

SL you are only running 1 headlines and 1 news on the same page right?

Right, http://www.slcentral.com/temp2/indexcopy.php

OK, make sure in your headlines php file that the only require line in there is

require("./PluhConfig.php");

Then in your php file that is calling the headlines and news files make sure that that these are before the < html > tag

<?
require("global.php");
require("admin/config.php");
require("PluhConfig.php");
?>

Rename the PluhConfig.php line if you renamed your headlines/news/config files. Let me know if this fixed it. :up:

It looks like it fixed the first error with the headlines header thing, but I'm still getting this error from the news:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stripslashesarray() in /usr/home/syslogic/public_html/boards/global.php on line 11

Any ideas on that one?

Oh I forgot. Check your news file and take out all the require lines there. I was messing around and I think we can actually take the require line out of the headlines file as well. So all the required lines should be in the main file calling the headlines and news. I think that should fix the news problem too.

Now I'm getting this:

hmm, I think I have seen that error before. I believe these are the only changes I made from the install. I do know that the hack was designed to place the files in your forum directory and not in a site root or anywhere else. Try looking through this thread. The most helpful stuff is around pages 10 - 15 I have read this entire thread a few times over so I know what most peeps problems are.

For those lines I gave to you, did you put the right path in?

Like I said put this line in

require("global.php");

but that's because my file that is calling global.php is in the same directory as global.php so if yours is in another directory then you would need to change the path to the global, admin/config, and news config files.

Right now that's the only thing I can think of. If that doesn't work you may want to try putting the file that is including the headlines, news, etc. in your forum directory where VB is installed in and see if that works. I think that could be a lot of peoples problems, but I'm not sure. :confused:
