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:

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.
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!
I think so if I am understanding you right. Are you saying you want both the title and the image to link to the thread?
If so I believe that is possible, infact I think the title links to the thread by default. I took mine off, because with such a big ass page it loads slow, and I figured cutting those urls out of 50+ messages on the page would help out a lot.
if you want to see what I have done with the hack you can check it out here:
Actually the main issue is getting it to just take the first paragraph of a post rather then an entire post. So for example if my post looks like this:
Quote:
Mozilla has reached another milestone, and is now at version 0.9.8. While it's obvious that this is a horrendously slow process for one of the largest open-source program developments, it is happening.
A number of improvements have been made since the last release, including load times, RAM usage, and of course numerous bug fixes (and, as is the usual fair, a few new bugs too). I have actually come to the point where I can use it in place of either Opera 6, or IE 6. It loads quickly enough so that it is no longer horrendous waiting in comparison to the integrated IE (though there is an option to keep Mozilla in memory even after it's closed).
What does everyone else think? Of all the sites that I go to, I've had few, if any problems. The only thing I currently find lacking is the dearth of usage for the scroll wheel on my mouse (admittedly a microsoft one). Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I'm too lazy to look it up myself
On the frontpage it will only show this line:

with a link to read more which will go to the actual thread with the rest of stuff on it...

It helps, because I have been through every post in this thread a few times so I know it pretty well. :up:
As long as you know basic html, I believe you should be able to change the "...More..." text to an image, and probably be able to adjust the character limit to your liking.
Yeah I can figure out the image thing....but as for the character limit, I don't even want that....I need it to be specifically the first paragraph because it will purposely be an overview of what the actual post is about...
hmm, so you want the first paragraph, no matter how many characters it has in it? I believe that could take some serious work. I don't know about that. You may want to ask FireFly, but I doubt you will get somebody to do this, without paying. But, you may get lucky.
You're right, but it really shouldn't be too hard to do....I don't know enough PHP but I remember reading about something along these lines......for example, what if it just looks for 3 a break...Not really sure though as I don't know how to do it myself.
