Yup, it seems to work.
I just added this right below the global.php include in my copy of show.php:
Code:
include("./newsconfig.php");
$newsoutput=news();
And then inserted $newsoutput into a template. Obviously, the news adds extra overhead, so it seems wise to use a "clean" copy of show.php for most templates, and only use the modified copy for pages that need to include the news. I suppose you could include the news into just about any page this way, if there were a reason to.
Whee, this is going to work out great. Thanks for the great add-on.... it works exactly the way we need it to.
