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,
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...*

From what I've seen this is a top class hack, but i get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bbcodeparse2() in /home/nebby/public_html/vb/PluhNews.php on line 111


and line 111 is

$bericht=bbcodeparse2($pagetext,"1","1","1","1");

[Nebby]

double post.

for those that have been having problems, change your required shiznit to this

$vbulletin_root_path = 'http://www.THEFULLURLTOYOURSITE.com/vb';

include($vbulletin_root_path . '/global.php');
include($vbulletin_root_path . '/PluhConfig.php');
include($vbulletin_root_path . '/admin/config.php');

that's the full URL, worked for me (on other hacks.)

[Nebby]

Bump!

Argh. i urgently need this mod!

any help from anyone please!

Can't really help, it works for me! No errors! Maybe, just by chance you had a brainfart and uploaded the file as ASCII? Or maybe you need to chmod it to at least 755? I FTP all my PHP files as binary and they work fine.

Example:
http://www.tlplanet.com/new/

What I would like to know is, is there anyway to truncate the number of characters to display? And is there anyway to display posts from more than one forum?

[Nebby]

Thank, i'll give it another try.

What version vb are you running?

and as for the cut of limit and multiple forums there's info deep inside this thread... somewhere.

[Nebby]

EDIT: Heh, i'm such a dumbass.

Got it working! cheers.

I LOVE YOU HAHA!! THANKS SO MUCH MAN!! THANXXX!!

[Nebby]

Is there any way I can add an avatar to show with this?
