UPDATED! Woohoo!

I just fixed/added stuff from version 1.0!

Download the new version 1.5 if you have the old 1.0 - lots of better features.

From the readme.txt:

Quote:

This script isn't really a hack, just an external script that pulls information out of the VBulletin Database for news
or whatever reason you see fit. It's easy to install and configure, and has tons of the same features that many other
news scripts have, except you don't have to modify any Vbulletin source code (which I'm never comfortable doing
for some reason, but that's just me

.

I had a really rough time finding a good, EASY news script that did what this does. I searched and found some, but
it really came down to easy installation. I didn't want to modify MySql tables or mess with the advanced Vbulletin
source (well, to me anyway). So I wrote this script. Yer.

This script was intended for VBulletin 2.0 only (I don't know if it will work with previous releases) and PHP4.

Working Demos can be found in use at http://pluh.com/forums/PluhNews.php and for headlines,
http://pluh.com/forums/PluhHeadlines.php

After you install, if at all possible, I would appreciate some credit to my script. A link to http://pluh.com
on your page before or after your news would be great. Let me know when you have it installed too - I love
seeing my stuff working on other websites!

You can check out the raw demo here for PluhNews: http://pluh.com/forums/PluhNews.php

And Headlines! http://pluh.com/forums/PluhHeadlines.php

Let me know if you like it! (Thanks Dark Wizard and Bane)

*NOTE: I will not be able to provide support for this hack, as I am extremely busy. Sorry...*

eh I cant get this thing to work for the life of me.

Goldfinger · #**213** 10-11-2001, 01:38 AM

try including the admin/config.php and the global.php on your main page before the <html> tag. and than take them out of the pluhnews.php

Hamma · #**214** 10-11-2001, 02:10 AM

hm when I do that it crashes.. My main page right now is .shtml is there anything I need to change beside adding those commands at the top and renaming it to .php? (i am somewhat new to PHP, just started toying with it recently)

I get a sweet assortment of errors

Hamma · #**215** 10-11-2001, 11:42 AM

btw I dont remember ever seeing anyone entounter these ones:

Warning: Undefined variable: REQUEST_URI in
\path\to\global.php on line 39

Warning: Undefined variable: QUERY_STRING in
\path\to\global.php on line 47

Warning: Undefined index: HTTP_POST_VARS in
\path\to\global.php on line 64

Warning: Undefined index: action in
\path\to\global.php on line 64

Warning: Undefined index: action in
\path\to\global.php on line 67

then there is this one which is what I did see:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at \path\to\vbulletin\global.php:39) in \path\to\vbulletin\admin\functions.php on line 1457

This is what I get when I include it on my index
Warning: Undefined variable: REQUEST_URI in
\path\to\vbulletin\global.php on line 39

Warning: Undefined variable: QUERY_STRING in
\path\to\vbulletin\global.php on line 47

Warning: Undefined index: HTTP_POST_VARS in
\path\to\vbulletin\global.php on line 64

Warning: Undefined index: action in
\path\to\vbulletin\global.php on line 64

Warning: Undefined index: action in
\path\to\vbulletin\global.php on line 67

Fatal error: Failed opening required './admin/config.php' (include_path='') in \path\to\vbulletin\global.php on line 72

This isnt fun anymore

Goldfinger · #**216** 10-11-2001, 06:35 PM

in your global.php look for all the ./global and replace that with the full path to your global.php than it should work.

Goldfinger · #**217** 10-11-2001, 06:37 PM

and your index should be a .php not .shtml because it cant phrase php . Try changing the file extension before you try changing all your paths in global.

Hamma · #**218** 10-11-2001, 08:34 PM

Yea, I have tried most of that. I will try it again though. One thing is that my Index is located in a different DIR than the pluhnews.php would that make a difference?

Hamma · #**219** 10-11-2001, 08:59 PM

I am getting closer now, I am now getting

Warning: Undefined variable: REQUEST_URI in
\path\to\global.php on line 39

Warning: Undefined variable: QUERY_STRING in
\path\to\global.php on line 47

Warning: Undefined index: HTTP_POST_VARS in
\path\to\global.php on line 64

Warning: Undefined index: action in
\path\to\global.php on line 64

Warning: Undefined index: action in
\path\to\global.php on line 67

And my news gets added at the bottom. BUT I have not seen these "QUERY_STRING" and all the other things mentioned anywhere else in this thread. \

When I do the require command at the top of my index page I get those errors at the very top above all the layout, no more header error though

Goldfinger · #**220** 10-11-2001, 10:14 PM

also try putting your PluhNews in the same directory as your index.php seeing thats what the instructions say

.

Hamma · #**221** 10-11-2001, 10:50 PM

Yep. Tried that

(thats where it is now with these errors)
