This hack is write by gogosoft and edit by ztsky.
I have post it before,but in Chinese.Many people PM or email me want to get a English version,So I re-release it in English.
This hack can work on all vb versions

index.php
template to be edit:
forumhome
how to install it? :
down zip file.
there are three files in it.
fader.js newsfade.php and installnews.txt
**********upload NEWSFADER.PHP to you vb/ADMIN
**********upload FADER.JS to your vb/
**********edit you file or template as installnews.txt

**********go to you vb/ADMIN modify or post a news!


this all
NEW ZIP FILE SEE THE NEXT POST

I tested it before I replied to you. When the URL field is blank, the news post does not appear as a hyperlink. When the URL field contains "http://" even without the remaining portion of the URL, the news post appears as a hyperlink.

Is great hack. I like having it on my board.

One thing I've noticed, however, and I've seen at least ONE other in this thread has seen this.

Occasionally, when a new member registers, all the newsfader entries 'leave' the database!

This has happened to me three times in the previous week! I have about 10 news items in the fader table, and they are scrolling along, just fine.

Next thing I know is I get PM's from my membership saying they are gone! I look in CP, and WOW, none of my 10 news entries are there any more....Ok, so I add em back!

Two days later, same thing! I check logs to see whose deleted them, because, surely that's what has happened, but, no log entries!!

Ok, so what was the only other activity at the time??

New user registered themselves to board.

??????? ANybody else see this, or am I blind, and missed the fix in an earlier post?

people dont like to sit in 1 place too long so is there a way to speed it up?
I am assuming it is a setting in the .js file but i cannot find anything!

This fader does not work on *** 2.2.0 anymore. As soon as I up the INDEX.PHP , the board give me a SQL Error like:

Invalid SQL: SELECT title,pagetext FROM announcement WHERE enddate>= AND forumid=0 ORDER BY startdate DESC
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'AND forumid=0 ORDER BY startdate DESC' at line 1

But when I look at the News in my Admin-CP (I had to change some Code to make it implemented there), the News are there and ready to edit.

Whats wrong ?!?!
