[RELEASE v2.x] OPNews v1.2 << More features!

Well, after very little effort on my behalf, i have released version 1.2.

Not much new, however-

I have added a headlines system, which is basically it

Anyway, it works exactly the same way as the original, just setup a news forum(you can set its display order to 0, if you wish for noone to actually see it. i also recomend only allowing normal members to reply, not post

Just create a template, headlinebit and add the following

<smallfont>-></smallfont> <normalfont><a href="$forumspath/showthread.php?s=&threadid=$newsarray[threadid]">$newsarray[title]</a> by <a href=\"$forumspath/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=$newsarray[postuserid]\">$newsarray[postusername]</a></normalfont><smallfont> ($dateposted)</smallfont><br>

You can customise it, and you have access to all field names in the thread table. (check out the ERD in the members area, Keir )

As easy as it is, to access the headlines(or include them) add

?action=headlines

or to include

PHP Code:

<? include('/path/to/news.php?action=headlines'); ?>

Not much else i can rant about, im a bit lonely tonight

Anyway, heres the script:

(attached)

PS. like most scripts, just place this into your /forum/ directory, where its with its buddies(like index.php and global.php)

I just thought of another feature to add, which will come later tonight hopefully!(most commented news items, of course which would expire after a certain date offset of the current date)

If anyone can figure out how to make the smilies show up correctly, I'd appreciate it. I want them to actually show up, so the changing the one 1 to a 0 isn't for me.

As far as i can tell, you just need to set the full path to the images folder in the admincp

under styles

Unfortunately, as IanMFT already pointed out above, that doesn't work.

Im a bit tired atm, so excuse that post

Anyway, you may want to check the properties of the image that is showing as a X, and see exactly what is causing it.

Im not actually having any problems myself, but i use the news script in the forum root.

It may be a good idea, if your including news.php, to do:

PHP Code:

<?
chdir('forum/');
include('news.php');
?>

Yer, im not sure :|

Just tried it... no good.
