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...*

So how would I go about making my avatar viewable?

[Darren Evans]

I've followed the instructions to a tee and can not get this script to run including it in a page.

I ran it in raw form from PluhNews.php and PluhHeadlines.php with no problems.

Included in a root index.php file will not work. I keep getting the following error:

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='') in /home/site/public_html/forums/PluhNews.php on line 5

The include looks like this:

PHP Code:

<? include ("forums/PluhNews.php"); ?>

My PluhConfig file (placed in the forums directory) was tried with vared paths with out success:

PHP Code:

require("global.php");
require("PluhConfig.php");
require("admin/config.php"); 


Yes, I tried it with full path info (ie, /home/site/public_html/forums).

This thread is very confusing with posts from way back in July 2001.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Darrenn Evans...

I am having the same problems, but I have managed to get it working, but not completely. Do the following and at least it should show up:

Change:

PHP Code:

require("global.php");
require("PluhConfig.php");
require("admin/config.php"); 


to:

PHP Code:

include("/home/site/public_html/forums/admin/functions.php"); 


Then, change:

PHP Code:

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


to:

PHP Code:

$bericht=bbcodeparse2($pagetext,"1","1","0","0"); 


Then, you have manually set the variables for your database (i.e. $servername, $dbusername, $dbpassword, and $dbname)

It should work on your main page, however it won't parse the bbcode.

I am having the exact same problem as you, so hopefully we can bug the hack creator enough to help us out!
