About Developer · **Released**: 09-01-2000

I'd like to have certain memebers of my forum, Admins, moderators and SuperModerators, be able to post news to the front page of my site, and have a 'comments' link at the bottom of the summary that links through to a new thread that was generated when the news article was posted. Then other members of the site can comment on the story from within the regular vB system.

Stallion and others talk about it in the Suggestions forum: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...?threadid=2746 and he says it would be a pretty easy hack to do.

One other thing about the initial news post. I'd like it to show a small mugshot of the news poster (here's mine:

) much like the ones used at http://www.highervoltage.net.

Also, since my forum is based on individual games, it would be cool if the news thread was created in the corresponding forum. Quake news goes to the Quake forum and such. Plus, a special icon, color or title should distinguish the news thread from the regular threads in the destination forum.

What do you think?

i have several pages set up with several cgi scripts already, converting them over to php pages would be a major pain, don't supose there's a simple cgi script that will read a particular forum and i could code the rest out to look and act like slashdot is there?

arg.. the weblog hack zip seems to be corrupted

I've downloaded it several times and its corrupted every time...

Me 2. Corrupted zip.

Yup, same here.

Can someone point me to the vBulletin code that's used to verify a person's username and pasword, and perhaps the code for the form as well? With these I should probably be able to handle adding the ability for little SlashDot-style comments on my own.

require("global.php"); and then call the verifyusername function:

$userid=verifyusername($username,$password);

Isn't there more to it than that? I thought there was something like a SELECT command to pull the username/password from the DB.

#19 09-02-2000, 03:45 PM

It's all done in that function - you have to use a require on global.php to use it though.

#20 09-02-2000, 03:46 PM

same here.... can you re-up it?

Much appreciated!

is there a cgi version of this? or is there an easy way to exec cgi scripts in a php document?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
