vB News CMS · **Released**: 08-29-2006

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.

I think it is useless. Nobody wants something like this if he can have a complete Portal like vBadvanced.

Interesting.

Come on...please show a little bit of respect, honestly people like you make it suck to be a coder sharing work for free.

I run vbadvanced on my site - and there is nothing wrong with theirs. However, I wanted my news in a separate area and I've read some requests for something like this for people who do not use vbadvanced or phpportals (or any other CMS that displays news on the front page). This makes my content page smaller (trying to reduce as much as I can) and easier on the eyes for my portal.

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