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...*

Try and use your full path for the include. ie:

PHP Code:


			
<? include("/home/username/www/forums/PluhNews.php"); ?>

This is what I use on my website, I addapted it to work on multiple subdomains and multple forums.. etc.

well i got this to work, this is what i put in my index.php page:

PHP Code:


			
<?php include ("site url/forum/Pluhnews.php"); ?>

even thou my page is php I still had to put in the <?php why i dont' know cause I have that at the top as well. Don't know but this works. I swear I tried this before and it didn't work. Oh well.

There must be some way of doing this, and I know it's been discussed before but I'm not sure if a solution was found. Is there a way of using pluhnews to display posts from more than on forum ?? If someone can figure out how to do this then that would be VERY cool

Search this thread around page 20 or 25 and look for my name and somebody else (can't remember who) I was talking with, we figured out the problem.

Want to see an example? http://www.3dNewz.com

Your a star m8, thanks for the link it works a treat

Gutspiller · #**431** 05-15-2002, 07:31 PM

I have that hack installed and I still sometimes get that error location. Don't expect that hack to fix the problem completely.

This is a great news program, but I would like to know if there is a way for me to display 5 news headlines instead of the same number of News items it shows in the news?

Currently I have 10 news items to be shown, but I only want 5 headlines in that area. How can I edit this?

My site is at www.ac2hq.com

Thank you.

Hi,

I really like this hack/addon, but I have a request for a new feature. I use coranto (new version of newspro) right now and it has an option to display a dividing table after a new day starts. You can see that at www.cscentral.com Here is how it looks in the code:

PHP Code:


			
<If: Sub: isNewDate>

<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>

  <TR> 

    <TD ROWSPAN=3 width="206"> <IMG SRC="http://cscentral.barrysworld.com/images/devider_01.gif" WIDTH=206 HEIGHT=48></TD>

    <TD background="http://cscentral.barrysworld.com/images/devider_02.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://cscentral.barrysworld.com/images/devider_02.gif" WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=21 align="right"> 

    </TD>

    <TD ROWSPAN=3 width="44"> <IMG SRC="http://cscentral.barrysworld.com/images/devider_04.gif" WIDTH=44 HEIGHT=48></TD>

  </TR>

  <TR> 

    <TD background="http://cscentral.barrysworld.com/images/devider_05.gif" height="25"> 

      <div align="right"><font color="A7A7A5" size="4"><b><Field: Day> <Field: Month_Name> <Field: Year>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></font></div>

    </TD>

  </TR>

  <TR> 

    <TD HEIGHT=2 background="http://cscentral.barrysworld.com/images/devider_07.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://cscentral.barrysworld.com/images/devider_07.gif" WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=2></TD>

  </TR>

</TABLE>

</If>

edit: I have thought of another feature, maybe edit the format of the news date, e.g. just the date and time instead of the day, since when you have a daily devider table you dont need the date to be displayed.

Would it be possible to implement this in pluhnews?

Thanks,
Sebastian

Thank you.

Find this line in PluhHeadlins.php

PHP Code:


			
// create sql statement

$sql = "SELECT threadid, title, forumid, replycount, postusername, postuserid, lastposter, dateline, iconid FROM thread WHERE forumid = \"$newsforums\" ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT $newsitems";

replace $newsitems with the number of headlines you want to have displayed.

Hope this helps,
Sebastian

So has anybody figured out how to add avatars to the news events? I know others wanted this feature too.
