PluhNews 1.5

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.

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

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!

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...*

Just an update, I fixed all MySQL errors, and now I've hit a message parsing problem. Im confident that it is the last issue, right now pointing my browser shows the forum title, poster, date etc everything except comments and the posts content. So Im working on that now

Post content is shown. Pluhnews is working almost 100% on Vb3.5!! Im working on parsing now, and once thats solved Ill probably re-release this as its the best hack I've ever used and lets face it, the 3.5 world NEEDS a news ripper and ONLY a news ripper! Not some CMS bull! You can view it for yourself here:

Got it working 100%. Ill be posting it in the 3.5 section in a day or so, I just need to clean up the dirty "my site only" code. Though it seems youll have to do some text edits, since a lot of the pre-defined info no longer works with 3.5.

Did anyone ever put out an update for VB3.5+?

Not that I know of.
