[quote=Bacon Butty;1244321]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.

That's strange. I'm sure that I've update function.php in zipfile. Please open with a text editor functions.php (vbnews/includes).

For Breaking news goto line 193. Should say:
WHERE $where ORDER BY publisheddate DESC LIMIT 1");
If says "ASC" instead "DESC" please change it

For Important news goto line 224. If says ASC please change to DESC.

Do the same for Editor's choice (line 261) and video news (line 331).

If in all, you find (as I believe to) DESC, then check the post date of your articles. Something is going wrong there.

Thanks for the help again Maria.

As you said, they were all DESC and not ASC.

When I set older news to a day prior with the post date, it works... and the latest news is displayed at the top. However, news posted on the same day is still going backwards, maybe an idea to include a time as well as a date? Because at the moment, if theres 2 breaking news on the same day, I will have to set the first breaking news as a day earlier than it actually was in order to display the latest breaking news...

I thought I'd give this a whirl and so far nothing. I installed it according to the instructions. I named vbnews.php to news.php and put it in the web root directory. When I call it, I get a plain white page with nothing on it. I did go into AdminCP and create a category, and assigned a forum, and I turned on all the functions in the admin usergroup for vbNews. Any ideas what I may have missed?

Have you setup all paths and URLs in news.php file?

My post may have been overlooked, but I was still wondering about this...

Thanks for the reply. I did setup the paths/urls according to the instructions prior to my test. Subsequent to posting the problem, I took a search through your site and then through this thread and have since decided to remove vBnews. I found tons of problems navigating around your site and then with the reports here of problems, and your response to them... this one I'll pass on. Hopefully it will work out for others.

If you've seen in my index page, it says with big letters that my site is under reconstruction so many links don't works. And this has nothing to do with paths in vbnews which working fine in 99% of installations. Rest 1% is for those who have setup wrong paths.

(haven't read through all pages of this thread, so sorry if this has been answered before)...

Any comments on this suggestion MicroHellas?
Many members do really care about their post count, so this would be a nice addition..

Maybe after 1-2 months. Sorry, but I'm very busy right now. I already released a new commercial version, so I don't think that it can be done earlier than the end of June.
