Problem Solved: Need a simple news publishing script with vB integration
Ok, So on my site's home page I post the latest news. I am using vBExternal but this script is causing a bit of a problem when pulling urls from the forum.
Before I describe what I need, take a look at the article system. http://www.grandtheftcentral.com/ When I post news articles in a designated forum, it publishes it to the front page where it displays the post, post author, number of replies, date and so on. I need another one though since this one is a bit buggy. Requirements - I should be able to post articles from some sort of admin panel via a simple WYSIWYG or HTML panel - It should output basics like Title, Post Body, Comment Numbers, Post Comment Link and so on - People would need to log on first to post a comment Simple as that. I don't care where it stores the news, it could be in a forum or in an independent db table, once it does the above jobs. Any help. Thanks a lot. |

The problem is that vbAdvanced controls the entire front page. All I want is to manage the news. I just want to include it within my current template.

How are yo pulling the content from your forums to the front page now?
Could you not use RSS? |

Well the comments people make are the comments in the post.
Code:

All you would do is add the feeds to your page where you wanted them to show. Here is an example on the bottom left of this page that i done for a customer. I'm just tossing out ideas someone else may have something better. http://www.countylineracewaync.com/ --------------- Added [DATE]1196480179[/DATE] at [TIME]1196480179[/TIME] --------------- I built the feed using this site. http://feed2js.org/index.php?s=build |

Ah yes that's basically something like it. The only difference with mine would be it would need to pull news from a certain forum, and then display the first post of each thread with the comments and so on. Would it be able to display images and other forms of HTML?
I honestly don't know, haven't worked with RSS before. |

You can pull fees from any forum. I use Fire Fox and whenever Im viewing a forum the feed icon shows in the address bar. I just click that to jet my feed url.
http://www.localracechat.com/news/ex....php?type=RSS2 Not sure about the photos, maybe if they were at the top of the post. I would create a blank page on the site and experiment with it. The site above is really easy to use take about 5 mins to set up a feed and you can preview it as well. I don't think the comments and posts #'s will show up like this, I could be wrong as there may be another way but this is all I know of personally. You will also need to make sure your external feeds options are on in you vB options in the control panel too. |
