I am also interested in both ideas. I downloaded Ratorasniki's hack for NewsPro, but after looking at it, I don't think it'll work to well, because I have 2.0, and I am not sure it'll work with that. I am using ktalk, and I really do not like that program, and I would love to integrate comments into vBulletin.

leadZERO, I read this news post:

Well, I spent the last couple days roughing out a new news system that will integrate with the forum software and MySQL database. All I have to say is MySQL rocks... Such a powerful databasing engine. Hopefully in the coming days I will get more elaborate and incorporate new features. Right now it just takes any thread from this forum and makes it into a news item and links to the thread for commenting. (No you can't post your own threads, the permission SHOULD be denied, try it, and if you can let me know, I'd appreciate it.)

Let me know what you think, feel free to PM me or email. I will be writing a script to import all the old news into this forum also, look for that soon.

Your friendly RG administrator,
Ryan "leadZERO" Sommers
I love the little script you wrote, I may try it. I do have one idea for a script though. Maybe have it create different categories depending on the categories in the certain forum. For example:

--Forum: News (Level 1) - This is where normal news will go
---Forum: Gaming News (Level 2) - This is where gaming news will go
---Forum: Tech News....

So on. Then, when you load the news with <?php echo"$news"; ?>, you can specify another forum ID, which is under the main forum ID (specified in the variables) and creates a different category. I think that would be cool.

I hope you understand that, and I am interested in any updates in either of these addons/scripts.

Thanks!!!

I'm two steps ahead of you

I plan on adding categorical news. Then users can specify what categories they want to view, and it will combine them into one list using different colors or something to seperate categories.

At this point I'm just trying to get my new site design and layout up. Like today I added a "Latest Poll." It loads the latest poll from the news page and puts it on the same page as the news and allows peopel to vote and see the results.

I didn't realize there was such a want for this stuff, I was just developing it because I needed it. But if there are other people out there that want this type of integration I might package it all up when I get all the basic components and release it.

Here is a picture of my dev site (hence the 127.0.0.1 in the URL.

I am with you all the way, I know I want something like that. But, I wouldn't be able to create it. I only know the basics for PHP (if, else, echo, location, etc.).

Thanks.

Headlines. You need headlines. That way you can split catergories into different pages, and have each headline group one a different category, if you know what I mean.

Thats today's task. Yesterday I got the first draft of the poll system done. This morning I added polls to the news... This afternoon I will be putting the finals touches on it and then working on headlines. I would like to have like the latest 5-10 news items have direct links at the top. This won't take long since I can insert it into the news generator code. Then after that I will do a "Yesterday's Top Posters" table.

If you have other ideas of things you would like let me know and I will add them.

Cool, so now I get to basically supply with all the suggestions, awesome! I posted a message on my Forums, and I may get some responses soon, you never know what people want in this stuff.

But, another suggestion I have...

Something that could add a feature on to the categories. What I will run is a network of sites. Each site having it's own sub-domain. Each sub-domain will run a news script, and I would like this to be based on one central program, so I can have total control. What would be cool, is that you can load a certain category or categories on to one page. (have them mix, like after the newssubject, put the category).

Then, if you want, you can seperate them into page by page for different categories of category.

For example (my main page will have all news on the whole network, seperated by each site)

For example:

My Main Page:

Car Site News
-Headline
-Headline
-Headline
....so on.

Web Site News
-Headline
-Headline
-Headline
....so on.

Tech Site News
-Headline
-Headline
-Headline
....so on.

Then comes the MAIN network website news, the news for my site. But each above headlines link to a different page (eg: index.php?newsid=3)

Then, somehow through variables or the control panel, you can specify what catgories go into what newsid.

Then load them on the pages specified.

Did you get that? If not, tell me, I can try to explain it better. I think that'd be cool. I can keep you posted on any other ideas I have.

I kind of get where you are coming from, however at the current time I don't really have a need for that because I only have one site. Perhaps after I get the version for my site working how I want it I will explore options that don't benefit me particularly. The category idea I like but I don't know about all the resorting like you said. However, feel free to email me at the address in my sig or leave me a message on http://www.ravingaming.com/forum. Or post here

That's cool. I can understand where your coming from, not really wanting to add things you won't use. Sure, what you're making, would still be awesome. It was just a suggestion.
