News Post php script combined with VBuser db

[PennylessZ28]

Well here is the idea I have been fiddling around with and working with.

I've seen and tried the other hacks for adding news to your website, been there done that all lame. I've downloaded and tried the lame free php scripts.

Heres what I'm working on creating,

A news posting hack of sorts that allows users (if approved) to post news on a main page of your website not the standard /forum/ a non vb page.

But it will display news the same way a new thread is displayed allowing comments and being posted the same as a new thread.

I'll see what I can pull out of the hat, anyone else ever do somethign simlair?

yeah i've done something similiar... but i didn't reall do the comments end of it... other then that i made it pretty much vb orientated but to work on my site not my forum... regards...

if the intention is to create a "news script" it's not logical to drag all replies to your main page either since:
a) People can post unappropritate content to your main page while they are replying a news message
b) If a news gets 50 replies, your main page will be drown to messages
c) This makes the script a thread viewer not a news script.

So every news script author preferred to link the comments only with their number, not append them to the main page message. If this is what you intended then yes all released vb news scripts have this feature..

This is what I intended, but most of them like vbindex link to a forum on vb, rather link the comments to another page outside of the vb, and my idea and my moderators is instead of there being some sort of new forum that is private, have a panel in the CP which will updated it.

Complex huh?
