Pluhnews question

Hi,

I?m testing around with Pluhnews. Now my Question is if I can use PluhHeader and PluhNews alltogether on one page (with include)? I?m getting PHP errors when I try that. Can that be done? I want to combine that with Anchor Links on top of the page.

I also would like to make the include call from a php page in another directory but I?m getting PHP errors with not finding ./global parameters.

The last one is the date format: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Are there some available in other languages (german in detail). I would just need the days.

Thanks a lot!

Lars

Yeah I'm having the same problem too. Can you tell us how you fixed it?

It has something to do with Multiple SSI tags on the same html page I think. I just did a search and it seems that ssi will only call once on a page.. not twice. But I have heard there is a away around this.

Here is the fix...

To fix the header issue, do the following:

In the PluhNews.php file REMOVE or COMMENT OUT
require("./global.php");

In the page where you want to display your news, insert this before ANY HTML
require("./global.php");

Go to your Admin Panel in vBulletin and under vBULLETIN OPTIONS
go to the section called HTTP HEADERS AND OUTPUT .

Find this section:

Cookie Domain
The domain on which you want the cookie to have effect.
If you want this to affect all of yourhost.com rather than just forums.yourhost.com,
enter .yourhost.com here (note the 2 dots!!!). Can be left blank.

ADD
.yourhost.com to the input box; save.

Your done.

This error was a combination of a few things. The cookies generated by vBulletin were part of the culprit as they were not being applied to any pages outside of vBulletin application. The second issue was that the global.php was being called twice by the [require('./admin/config.php');] by the PluhNews.php file.

I pretty much concluded that the error was either a cookie or a cache issue since the error was being generated randomly and on different machines. After that, it was just a case of sorting it out.

The author of this script should include this in his installation instructions. Would have saved me, and I am sure many others, wasted hours trying to figure out this error.

Enjoy!

Question: How do you prevent pictures to be displayed in the thread. I already disabled the [IMG] Tag so that only the link to that picture will be displayed but when I go to Pluh News, it still displays the picture. Pictures that are too big could ruin the layout of my page

Thanks
