Testing this one now, and so far it looks interesting..
But I just wondered if it's possible to increase members post count when they post articles and comments on them??
(haven't read through all pages of this thread, so sorry if this has been answered before)...

Testing using a fixed style and have a couple of issues:

I am using 3.6.5.

1. The box for:
a. member menu
b. Author
c. Features
d. options
does not really use the default theme format.

2. When adding an article the edit article box exceeds the limit of the forum, in other words it sticks out to the right.
3. When viewing an existing news post it exceeds way to the right, actually, almost the entire post is out of the theme area.
The author box and features box take up the entire theme area.

Delighted to see it now supports RSS, going to try free version first though and if it looks good, will upgrade.

But first things first, I am getting this error;

Warning: main(vbnews/includes/functions.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dannyabl/public_html/vbnews.php on line 84

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'vbnews/includes/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dannyabl/public_html/vbnews.php on line 84

Can anyone tell me were I have went wrong?

Are you sure that you've upload functions.php at vbnews/includes/ and not in your_forums/includes ???
Also have you kept the structure as it's on the zip file?.

I really like this idea and can use it, but where does it get it's news source from? Can we pick and choose? The reason Im asking is because I run a gaming site and I would like the latest news coming from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and so on.

Thinking it was obvious, I was going to say yes without checking but I thought i'd be safe an check, and you were correct, that was the problem. I had the structure wrong.

Thanks for the swift help.

Any chance anyone could help me achieve what the following screenshot shows? Basically I just want to change the order the news is displayed.



Also, because of this and rather importantly, my breaking news block isnt updating when i add new breaking news. instead the old one stays there and the new one is archived which is because of the order which news is displayed when new articles are added.

Would be really appreciated if anyone could help, once I get this sorted I will then look to purchase the commericial version for RSS.
