Question. Is there a way I could display only the first few lines of the post? Like this:

Thanks!

Yes you can, a part of my pluhnews.php looks like this:

-----------------------------------
if (!$sql_result2) {
echo "<p>Could not get record in second statement.";
}

while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result2)) {

if (strlen($row2[pagetext]) > $car) {
$pagetext = substr($row2["pagetext"],0,$car);
$pagetext .= "...";
}
else {
$pagetext = $row2[pagetext];
}




//gotta convert that damn unix time crap
$dateposted = date("D j M Y, g:i A",$dateline);
//end the goodies

-----------------------------------


And my pluhconfig looks like this:
-----------------------------------
<?
//This is the Config file to get PluhNews running.
//**********************
//Set some Variables

//Retrieve news from the correct forum, which is the forumid
$newsforums = 12;

//Number of news items to show at once
$newsitems = 1;

//Path to your forums directory (leave out trailing slash)
$forumspath = "/forum";

//Number of characters to display for each news item
$car = 400;

?>

-----------------------------------

Hope this will help ya!
