What does this do? It allows you to take your news from your news forums (up to 9 news forums) and display them in a category-style fashion with the ability to add new content, reply to the original story, send to a friend, and print.

This is a limited 3.5.x version. For more features, such as parsing bbcode, you should use the 3.6.x version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133302

Thanks go out to sabret00the for his help on the project who helped out a lot, to peterska2 for testing and working with me on the templates, and to the beta testers for helping find potential problems and bugs to be fixed/worked out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the forumid?
The forumid is the id of the forum you have created. Each forum has its own unique number assigned to it. When you click on a forum link you can see a number that is assigned to it. This will show up in the URL of the page you are browsing. Another way of seeing the forumid is to go to your admin control panel => Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Click on [Expand All] and then move your mouse over (hover) any of the forums you've created. Your status bar (bottom of screen) should display your forumid (number at the end of the link/url).


Changes
Added security

Known Bugs/Issues:
1) - When you go to the page directly, the page acts as a normal page - however, if you click refresh on the page, the refresh stalls. I don't understand why this occurs.
2) - BBCode does not parse yet - I am looking into making it parse without causing problems.

Thanks - its an idea I had for a long while, but I had to learn a lot before I could actually put it to use. I've got a lot of ideas, but very few will see the light of day as I've not the knowledge to get them working.

I have it installed and it is working correct but it throws my New Thread link to the right. I have tried bothe versions. I am using the posbit_Legacy style on my forums, does that affect it?

I just added a default style (no parent) and still get the same results.. I have to scroll left to right

What you may need to do is create a new button for new thread and edit the vbnewscms_sectionhead template.

Change this
Code:
<img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[vbnews_newstory]" />
to the location of the new button.

Edit: another thing (based on your edit) you can change vbnewscms_articlebit to alter the width a little.

Change width="100%"
Code:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%">
to width="90%" and see if that doesn't help the width.

What does the button have to do with the table stretching to the right though? It even does it on a default style..

Can I just delete the new thread link all together?

If that doesn't work let me know and provide a link to the page and I'll make any changes required to the templates for you.

I'm wondering if it is a couple articles that are causing the issue, such as (SpeedwayMedia News Feeds)-Chase set unless something weird happens - the URL in there is stretching - along with the next article.

I got the main content to align corectly, done away with the New Thread button but now the RSS News Feeds title bar stretches to the right.. when I change the vbnewscms_sectionhead to a different % like 75% it leaves a gap to the right.. Instead of bringing it in.

Here is what I have now.
