It's beyond time that this become a feature. I just installed the program and love it, but i have over 30 forums. As it stands now I'd need to install it 30 times. So, we need categories. Were to start?

Do you want to mix the news? Or have it in separate areas?

Amy

Both would be good. Couldn't there be a main category where all the news is displayed, and then a sperate category for each forum?

Are you just trying to show the latest post(s) from each forum? That's not really a "news" hack.

Or are you telling me that 30 of your forums are news forums?

Amy

Yes, the latest posts. The main category should contain posts from all, or specified forums. I was trying to use this, but it wouldn't work:

// create sql statement
$sql = "SELECT threadid, title, forumid, replycount, postusername, postuserid, lastposter, dateline, iconid FROM thread WHERE forumid = \"2\" AND forumid = \"3\" AND forumid = \"4\" ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT 5";

Additionally, each fourm should be it's own category, with the latest posts from that forum only (I hope that makes sense :)). The author said categories would be easy to implement, but no one has created them yet.

We talked about it osme more in this thread:
