What It Does:
This allows you to turn one of your forums into a news blog.

Live Installation: http://www.crackedeggstudios.com/news.php
This site is usually an update or two ahead of what's available in this thread, because that's where we do all our testing.

Products to Install: 1
Plugins Included: 14
Files to Upload: 7
Files to Edit: 0
New Templates: 8
Template Edits: 0

Mod Features:
- adds options to the Forum Manager

- display articles on every comments page

- additional BB-Code tags for articles

BB-Code Tags:
[previewlength]value[/previewlength]
Placing this anywhere in an article overrides the preview limit for that article only. Multiple [previewlength] tags are cumulative. A "Read More..." link will appear if this tag is used.

[preview]value[/preview]
Placing this anywhere in an article defines text that will only show on Newsdisplay. Text contained in this tag completely replaces the post text on Newsdisplay. Multiple [preview] tags are cumulative. A "Read More..." link will appear if this tag is used.

[more]value[/more]
Placing this anywhere in an article defines text that will only show on Shownews. Text contained in this tag does not replace the post text on Shownews. It only hides text from Newsdisplay.

why?
I want download file it. and I want see demo

I'll upload screenshots in a few minutes :D

i must be using 3.62? or 3 ... it wont let me install.. other hacks i can still install, but this one is being a skank.... i'd like to check it out, if you code it to accept my settingss

Okay, I didn't think people would be PREVENTED from installing it if they had lower, I will downgrade the version requirement to 3.6.0 for the next update. I already found an annoying visual error with the SHOWNEWS template, so it will be soon!

Waiting for the Demo :)

Looks great :) Waiting for the changes.
Beduino

sounds interesting....how are those screenshots and demo coming along??

it not pro.
But I like it

demo please :)
sounds interesting

Demo and I'll install!

I highly recommend you integrate this hack into it so it updates all the services to give you the blog and ping effect ;)

Ok i've installed this on my forum but if I choose any forum to be a news forum, I get a page 404 error. I turn the news system off for the forum and it works again.

I'm interested to see what this is supposed to do.

Any idea why i'd get a 404 on any forum this is activated for?

Thanks

Oops didn't upload the news.php file.

I get the following error when trying to view the "news activated" forum:

Code:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

                FROM user AS user

                LEFT JOIN avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid

                LEFT JOIN customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid

                WHERE user.userid =;

If that hack already automatically updates services when a new thread or post is created, it should require no integration.

I cannot replicate this error on my installation.

Also that SQL code is not mine. What products do you have installed that use forumdisplay hooks?

(Hook) : forumdisplay_complete

Forum Display Stats Cache Serialized
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
Zoints Thread Tags (Forum display)

(Hook) : forumdisplay_start

Cyb - Sticky-Closed-Poll Prefixes
Do not show who's online for guests (2/3)
Echo the Javascript Inline Subscription Management
Forum Statistics (2)
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
thread visitor counts

Please list the products. Some of those are plugin names and I can't find them on here without knowing the product.

Or we can save some time if you feel comfortable giving me a temp admin account to figure out what plugin is causing the error.

Ok - i've found what is causing the avatar query problem for me at least. It's the avatar thread mod that puts the avartar of the thread starter next to the thread title in forumdisplay.

I have found a little bug. The link for the post icon for the thread is broken. Here is what it's trying to display:

Code:

http://www.littlewales.com/images/greenfox/statusicon/post_.gif

You can see it here:

http://www.littlewales.com/news.php?f=202

Thanks. That little bug was actually on a low priority but I have fixed it for the next update. ;)

Excellent - many thanks.

I've just found another little problem. If you take a look at the same thread/forum:

Code:

http://www.littlewales.com/news.php?f=202

I've attached an image but I think the formatting is missing a </tr><tr> somewhere.

I'd also like to make a request - hope you don't mind.

Would it possible to have an option at forum level to select to display attachements or not.

And here is why:

I have some custom image positioning bbcode so I can really make the news article stand out. I'd like to attach the images I want to use with the thread and use them positioned within the post so having the ability to hide what is attached would really enhance the appearance of the article.

Would this be possible?

Thanks.

Sure that should be simple, just adding another setting. Will be in the next update.

I'm not seeing the image in your forum level. Please note that html, bbcode, img code, and smilies are not being parsed on the forum level in version 1.0.1 (I have fixed this in the next update).

Also, I get a 404 when I try to view the thread, and session data is appearing in your sites URLs (this should be a problem elsewhere). Have you uploaded shownews.php?

EDIT: Seems to be working now. Thanks for pointing this out.

If anyone has found any more bugs, please report them so I can include them in the next update later tonight. :rolleyes:

I've haven't noticed anything after the last update.

Would there be any chance of adding the option to hide the attachements only when viewing the article?

Do you mean on the Comments page?

There is already the option to hide attachments at the forum level.

Oh yes - i've only just noticed the new option - brilliant! Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is working but please correct me if i'm wrong. I have the new option chosen but looking at the same link I posted previously:

Code:

http://www.littlewales.com/news.php?f=202

The thumbnail area is still visible for the article.

It is working fine on my installation. Please make sure you have reverted the templates and uploaded the newest version of news.php.

Also note that "yes" shows the attachments on NEWSDISPLAY while "no" hides them.

*bump*

Just bringing this to the top of list again because the new version is much much better than the previous one, in terms of performance at least. :D

I'm not sure why, but when I upload everything and install the product, it keeps trying to access mydomain/news.php instead of mydomain/forums/news.php like it should be.....

Is this a bug in your code? Everything was obviously installed right.. the install was very simple.

I mean, I even put a copy of news.php and shownews.php in the site root despite what your instructions say to do, and I just get a bunch of PHP errors.

Am I missing something?

You're right. This was a bug in the code. Thanks for reporting this, I will include it in the next update.

That's sad to hear. I was hoping it was my fault. :)

Is there any straightforward way of fixing it? I'd really like to try the system out.

I was just surprised no one had noticed it earlier.

Also a little surprised because the files were originally copies of unmodified forumdisplay.php and showthread.php (now quite modified), did you have to change those?

*bump*

I've made some very slight updates to the mod again. I would have released 1.0.8 already, but I would really like some more input for more features, any bugs I've missed, etc. before releasing such a minor update.
