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

Mod Features:
- adds options to the Forum Manager

- 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

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.

Just upgraded to latest 1.5.0 version

Something is still not right. There is a forum blog post I made on 09/02/2007. It shows up first in the list, even though newer blog posts have been made after, twice. Why is that? It is also the only one with actual comments made (since I finally enabled that option for members). Is that the reason?

thincom2000 · #**213** 09-10-2007, 01:16 AM

The default sort order for your forum may be set to "Number of Replies", "Last Post Time", or something (I'm pretty sure the second one is the default order for any forum). I'm pretty sure for most news forums, you want the forum's default sort order to be "Thread Start Time," but you have to configure this yourself when you create the forum.

Also, I just noticed your comments header does not look quite right when there are no comments. Did you remember to revert this template? Actually, did you revert any of the templates? Because when selecting Hybrid or Threaded Mode in your News forums very weird things happen. Make sure to check the readme for the templates that have been changed.

on my forum.. it displayed a blank? on http://millionwebmasters.com/news.php?f=2 ... idk why.. would vbseo or vbadvanced cmps cause errors on this.. please help me asap thanx

thincom2000 · #**215** 10-28-2007, 04:23 PM

Well I checked it out and everything seemed fine. There's no way to navigate there from the rest of the site but that may be because you're still testing.

blastup · #**216** 10-29-2007, 05:35 PM

dame lol i replaced it with another news program that i found lol.. but it displayed blank for me before.. for your program.. i would really like your program better if it worked.. i dont know what caused the error.. but i think maby with my vbadvanced cmps or my vbseo that caused the error but i dont know.. what do you think would cause a blank page? let me know asap thanx cuz i would really like your program

thincom2000 · #**217** 10-31-2007, 06:06 AM

You would have to check your error logs and see what happened or show me a setup that can reproduce it. Again I didn't see any errors in the mod when I browsed your site last time you installed it.

blastup · #**218** 10-31-2007, 01:04 PM

um that was another program not from yours.. on news.php ...becuase yours dosent show up on my site so i switched it... ill try to see what happend.. then till you later

SBlueman · #**219** 10-31-2007, 11:54 PM

Is there a way to integrate:

* Thread Prefixes
* Zoints Topic Tag

And also is there any way to display the news in a vbadvanced news module with pagination?

thincom2000 · #**220** 11-01-2007, 04:33 AM

For the first two, there should only be the issue of editing any templates. All the hooks from showthread and forumdisplay are the same in this mod, so any plugins should affect it in the same way.

As for the vbBAvanced module, I have never been a fan of vBA, so I'm not sure how it really works. If you have "Grab articles from child forums?" enabled for a forum, or any values filled for "Other forums to grab articles from.", then that particular forum should be functioning similarly to what you may want - that forum will include articles from its children, etc, in its pagination.

This is not working right with highslide mod that I've installed.

It shows highslide image view on the blog main page, but not the submission (post) directly.

Example:
http://www.talkjesus.com/newsces.php?f=72 (works)

Ewample:
http://www.talkjesus.com/shownewsces.php?t=16696 (highslide image missing)
