This script is to make a html file with your news. Its uses the vBulletin user database, and also many functions. I have decided to export it to html as this reduces sql quarys. This is ment for the main page of your website. Everything is administered through your vbulletin control panel. You can add, modify, and delete posts. Installation is very simple. Just download the zip file, extract it into your admin folder, and run installnews.php, then folow directons. This is currently in beta, so there may be some bugs. It has only been tested on 2.0.1, but should work on others. Features i hope to include in later releases are comments(users can post comments on the news), catigories, and display order(like you can "bump" it to the top, and "stick" a news post). Any info would be aperaciated. Thank you, Mentor


Fixed Bug 7-17-01
Fixed bug with vb code and smilies. Just overwrite news.php

Can we see a sample url with the hack working?

Sounds cool, but I'd like to see a demo as well. :)

Hmmm. Its really all admin interface. I can post screen shots of the admin interface, and i will post an example output. The output is essentially the same as a newspro out put. All it is is an raw html(or text file if you set it up that way). I will still post it. :)

This is the "add news" page :)

The first modify screen

Second modify screen

:) Im working on it... I seem to have found a little bump in my parsing smillies and vbcode :(...will be fixed soon.

About your quiestion about comments. It does not currently have users comments yet. Meaning, users cannot posts comments :(..That will be in a future release

Ok, here it is. :)
For anyone with experance with newsPro, that is what im trying to replace. How its used, is in your PHP page(or shtml, directions are included) you can include this page. Instead of sql querys every time the page is loaded, it only needs to execute the include() command. Everything needed is in the directions! :)

:eek: wow, very nice......all we need now is an import script from the old newspro :D
