TOday while in class I was think on how it could do it... Can a CGI script use a mySQL database? That is the first question.
Then you just have a new way to make a thread. Like..
The Topic = Thread Subject
The Poster = Thread Poster
The Message = Thread Message
The Date/Tme = Thread Date & Time
Get my ponit? Everything could be forclly entered into a forum called News, and then the CGI would find the stuff it just posted in the database and create a comment link and post it witht he news... I mean.. this would be a great hack to invent.. I would use it and so would many other sites.
If anyone is interested in this, I'll need to first help get CGI/perl scripts working on my webserver, and then we could look at the code of news admin, which is pretty simple.
Anyone?
vBoard: yes. It could incress by one.
