News Box v5.1

With this hack, you'll add on your board a news system that you control from the admin control panel. These news, you choose them, they appear on the forum in a box, with marquee text viewable for each member. They can be used, to display a general message to your members ...

you can insert VBCodes and smilies. You can choose to display or not the news box on the forum.

Improvment in comparison with VB2 version :
- Display of a special news if the user is unregistered. THe news is a link to the register form.
- Use of expand/collapse system to reduce the box. The position of the box is saved



Ce hack permet d'ajouter ou vous voulez sur votre forum un systeme de news que vous gerez via le CP, ces news c vous qui les choisissez, elles apparaissent sur le forum sous forme d'un texte deroulant visible par chaque membre. Elles servent en fait a faire passer un message a vos membres ...

Vous pouvez inserer du VBCode dans ces news et des smilies. Vous pouvez choisir via le CP admin d'afficher ou pas le systeme de news sur l'accueil du forum.

Amelioration par rapport aux precedentes versions VB2.xx :
- Affichage d'une news supplementaire si le visiteur n'est pas enregistr? lui disant qu'il n'est pas enregistr?, le texte est un lien qui lui permet d'acceder a la page d'enregistrement
- Utilisation du systeme expand/collapse pour reduite l'affichage de la boite de news avec enregistrement de la position de cette fenetre

Haven't read this entire post, but this hack shouldn't be final.

The templates have french hard coded in them, and you can't input news with apostrophes in them; it doesn't look like slashes are added before the database query.

[JonP]

Typos also, like: News ofe "forumname."

[JonP]

Once you get all the little bugs and typos worked out, it works nicely.

One suggestion, is to have a text area for the input box instead of a one line input box.

Exactly, that sucks big time...

And another little thing, when I collapse the news box, it will not remain that way when I enter a subforum and then go back to the index. What's the use of that function if it's not configured?

Other than that, great hack!

its a very nice hack.
but i have a suggestion.
how about if u have built a own vbulletin page and let the users type in new from this page?
It would be better if avereybody could give some information in the newsfeed.
Would it be possible to create something like that?

In the admin penal <--- you need to look at that.

[natralis]

well i ran the auto install , done everything as stated and then got parse error index.php on line 50

which is

,
'danews',
'danews_news',
'danews_fin'

ive tried everything and just lost atm any help ?

EDIT: Thanks guys, i read the followups and figured it out that it was missing a debug line in config.php.

Works like Charm, it will be cool if the news ticket is going vertical, instead of horizontal.. because when we add more and more news as seperate ones.. we need a big amout of placeholder for the news. If its like a news ticker, which sends one news at a time but in horizontal or vertical way.. it wud be cool.

Just my suggestion

[BlazeXXX]

natrails,
In the index.php, when u insert those codes below the other bits, please do this:

Instead of adding:

,
'danews',
'danews_news',
'danews_fin'

Replace tat line with this:

'danews',
'danews_news',
'danews_fin'


Then go to the variable that is right above 'dannews', and add a comma after it in order to get ride of that parase error.

If u dunno wat i mean.. check this example:
Before:

'Test'
,
'danews',

After:

'Test',
'danews'.


As you can see, your comma is what was causing the pbm. I had this erorr and i done exactly like wat i am suggesting u and it worked
