UPDATED! Woohoo!

I just fixed/added stuff from version 1.0!

Download the new version 1.5 if you have the old 1.0 - lots of better features.

From the readme.txt:

Quote:

This script isn't really a hack, just an external script that pulls information out of the VBulletin Database for news
or whatever reason you see fit. It's easy to install and configure, and has tons of the same features that many other
news scripts have, except you don't have to modify any Vbulletin source code (which I'm never comfortable doing
for some reason, but that's just me

.

I had a really rough time finding a good, EASY news script that did what this does. I searched and found some, but
it really came down to easy installation. I didn't want to modify MySql tables or mess with the advanced Vbulletin
source (well, to me anyway). So I wrote this script. Yer.

This script was intended for VBulletin 2.0 only (I don't know if it will work with previous releases) and PHP4.

Working Demos can be found in use at http://pluh.com/forums/PluhNews.php and for headlines,
http://pluh.com/forums/PluhHeadlines.php

After you install, if at all possible, I would appreciate some credit to my script. A link to http://pluh.com
on your page before or after your news would be great. Let me know when you have it installed too - I love
seeing my stuff working on other websites!

You can check out the raw demo here for PluhNews: http://pluh.com/forums/PluhNews.php

And Headlines! http://pluh.com/forums/PluhHeadlines.php

Let me know if you like it! (Thanks Dark Wizard and Bane)

*NOTE: I will not be able to provide support for this hack, as I am extremely busy. Sorry...*

While were requesting things

I run a news site and post news in a news program I run and in my forum. Would there be anyway to.

1. Include a checkbox on the new thread page that says "Add this thread to front page"? Otherwise that particular thread isn't included.

sianews · #**258** 12-18-2001, 04:50 PM

I finally got the script running and have an even better suggestion.

The way my news is set up now, the headline link goes to the acutal news source. Would there be anyway to have a "URL" field placed under the title field on the new post thread where the user would put the URL to the source? Then have Pluh use that, rather then the link to the post, for the headline?

Instead of include "PluhConfig.php" you would have include "/home/username/dirctory/PluhConfig.php"; I am doing it across 3 domains, and it works like a charm.

Let me get this straight (haven't had the time to read the entire thread) - if I want to include the news script and the headline script on other domains I have to put the full URL's to everything in my forum's global.php and the Pluhconfig.php and that's it? Not in any other script(s) or forum files?

Sean · #**260** 12-18-2001, 09:21 PM

No, not URL's, your ROOT PATH

eg: /usr/sites/yourname.com/forums/public_html/

You need the FULL PATH It is relative right now.

KuraFire · #**261** 12-18-2001, 10:10 PM

Aww crap, it's gonna be hell setting up my network of sites then, cos I'm building them on my own computer, Win2K with Apache+PHP+MySQL installed, but it'll all be different on my webhost!

Crud..

So in Win2K, should I use directory paths then? I.e. g:\program files\apache\apache group\htdocs\board ?

Sean · #**262** 12-18-2001, 10:22 PM

Same here, I wanted to get it running on ym computer, you could make two different globals, and just rename them when you upload...

That path, I am not sure of, because you may need c:\ (or whatever your drive is) in there.

Try both..

Sorry, could you point me where in global.php? I only changed in Pluhconfig.php and sure it doesn't runs properly. The coments links are using a wrong url.

Thank you!

And now a little help translating the news. I can manage it all, changing some variabkes and template, but I have a little problem with the date.

Could you help me on translate it into another language? I can have another format but only in english. I need them in Spanish, so any help with that please?

Really new in PHP at this time

Thank you!

Sean · #**265** 12-20-2001, 07:19 PM

Yes, just do a search for ./ or ../ I don't remember which. Then ust replace it with your path.

Good luck.

yulee · #**266** 12-21-2001, 10:45 PM

Thank you very much Sean. It's done!

Now I have my problem with date. Any idea to have date in another language. I know in PHP you can get the server time and get into the language you want, so it should not be very difficult. I tryed to do a simple replacement but it doesn't runs

I'd ike to have all my forum dates in another language, so could you point me where in the PHP files of VBulletin is managed the date?

Thank you very much.

Sean · #**267** 12-22-2001, 01:17 PM

Good, glad I could help.

I am trying the same thing, with a header problem, which I will soon fix.

The date it managed by PHP itself. That format is what PHP changes the UNIX time into. You'd probably have to look in the php.ini file.

Good Luck.

KuraFire · #**268** 12-22-2001, 05:06 PM

You can convert time and dates in PHP easily.
Just read up on how to use the date function (php.net/date or so) and you should be able to get it exactly the way you want to.

SystemLogic · #**269** 12-24-2001, 02:37 AM

Is there any way to setup the date per day....like these two sites for example:

www.techimo.com
www.hardware-one.com

I think that would prove to be very useful for many of the sites using this.

sianews · #**270** 12-26-2001, 04:43 PM

When going to the Headlines page, it works great. I included it on my front page and got some errors. I fixed the errors and nothing shows up. I know it's included because I got the errors, and I know its working because the headlines page works. Also, everything in my HTML after the <include> tage is not there

. What could be wrong?

sianews · #**271** 12-27-2001, 01:26 AM

I included the URL rather than the path and it worked.

Any plans for categories in the near future? I have close to 30 forums and there's not a chance I'm installing this 30 times.
