What It Does:
This allows you to turn one of your forums into a news blog.

Live Installation: http://www.crackedeggstudios.com/news.php
This site is usually an update or two ahead of what's available in this thread, because that's where we do all our testing.

Products to Install: 1
Plugins Included: 14
Files to Upload: 7
Files to Edit: 0
New Templates: 8
Template Edits: 0

Mod Features:
- adds options to the Forum Manager

- set number of articles and comments per page
- turn on/off announcements in news display
- turn on/off attachments in news display
- turn on/off last comment in news display
- ajax quick edit in news display (basically, quick edit in forum display)
- display articles on every comments page
- limit size of article preview
- additional BB-Code tags for articles

BB-Code Tags:
[previewlength]value[/previewlength]
Placing this anywhere in an article overrides the preview limit for that article only. Multiple [previewlength] tags are cumulative. A "Read More..." link will appear if this tag is used.

[preview]value[/preview]
Placing this anywhere in an article defines text that will only show on Newsdisplay. Text contained in this tag completely replaces the post text on Newsdisplay. Multiple [preview] tags are cumulative. A "Read More..." link will appear if this tag is used.

[more]value[/more]
Placing this anywhere in an article defines text that will only show on Shownews. Text contained in this tag does not replace the post text on Shownews. It only hides text from Newsdisplay.

Okay for some reason the Inline Mod class is breaking on Internet Explorer and causing a whole bunch of problems. I will try to figure it out even though I don't think I ever touched that stuff in the first place.

EDIT: Fixed this issue. Your cookies error is most likely a direct result of the array_slice() warning because by outputting the warning the headers were sent. I know why this came up and I'll correct it for next fix. Haha, I just wish I had seen your post before releasing 1.3.1 or I could have actually made it a worthwhile update.

On the other hand that Postbit Switch Glitch on Quick Edit is quite the bugger. I had quick edits turned off on my forum so I never noticed this before. I've followed Quick Edit through vBulletin's code and still have no idea where this switch is taking place.

If somebody knows where the vB_Ajax_Init class is defined, that would get me on the right track. If you don't know off hand don't waste your time because it seems to be pretty well hidden.

I don't understand your redirect issue. I have disabled my news forum, it displays as a regular forum, and all the links still work...

I don't know why there was an issue with that. The way the hack was configured, any thread or forum could be viewed as news by using news.php or shownews.php. I have fixed this behavior for 1.3.2 so that if it's not a news forum or article, it redirects to the appropriate forumdisplay or showthread page.

Right now I'm trying to fix the array_splice() error you reported.

Sorry I took so long to post a fix tonight. In the process of making all these changes, I hit the PHP Memory Limit for my server and it took me a while to figure out where the conflict was that I even needed to increase it beyond "No Limit."

The link to the live "demo" is in the first post. Not really a demo, but that's my forum with it installed and working. Please note that what you see in the demo can sometimes be an update ahead of what you can download here, because well I need to test things first.

For now, unless someone knows where in the code this happens, my "fix" will just to avoid the glitch by disabling Quick Edit in the first post (article) of News forums. This will be in the next update, but this time I'll wait to release so you can list the 12,000 errors you find first, TheMilkCarton.

EDIT: Found it and fixed it by updating a plugin. That was a really convoluted search, though.

I've been putting of updating this on my live website as it worked well (earlier version) with Andreas sidebars hack.

However now you seem to have moved or done something with $spacer as i tested it on my local machine and the postbit is breaking out of the style and pushing everything to the right.

What did you remove from postbit ?

OK found the problem i think

Its in ces_news_comments

removing
Code:
<div style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]; text-align:$stylevar[left]">
<div style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
Fixes the problem.

What was that included for ?

That is $spacer hardcoded, so removing it should make no difference.

If you still have a showthread_postbit_create plugin, then that may be the cause. Remove that plugin if it still exists. Also, try removing $post[news_comments] from your postbit template.

Another cause may be if you have not uploaded the most recent shownews.php.
