About Developer · **Released**: 07-02-2001

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...*

Any help would be cool.

I have this line in the body of a page: (content of the news to show up in a table)
The news shows up ok in the page but I get an error.

Error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\www\test\cs\index.php:5) in c:\www\test\forums\admin\functions.php on line 1649

Root of site /www/test

$siteroot/cs/Index.php: (page has its own <head> </head>)

<div align="left">
<?php include("/www/test/cs/news.php"); ?>
</div>

$siteroot/cs/News.php:
<?php
chdir("/www/test/forums");
include("/www/test/forums/PluhNews.php");
?>

only thing in the PluhHeader.txt :


<font face="Verdana" size="2"><b>Today's News</b><p>

Sorry for being a newbie but how do I make the headlines show up in forum main page, my header for forums is quite big and I have a table there where I would want the headlines to show up...

I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to php anyways. :/

santino · #**499** 06-26-2003, 03:05 PM

Egad - I changed servers and am getting a line exactly similar to yours:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/squareamp/public_html/index.php:6) in /home/squareamp/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php on line 1690

I have the output going to /home/squareamp/public_html/forum/PluhNews.php and when I load that by itself its just fine - it is only the file that has the include line in it that is producing that output.

Re-uploading functions.php zaps this problem, fyi.

yeah it's in the config file. Just look at the config file and it's all in there.

upnorth · #**503** 07-12-2003, 12:22 AM

These are the only items in the config file. I thought that $newsforums identified which forum to pull from, $newsitems identified how many threads to show at one time, and then $forumspath. Am I mistaken re $newsitems? IS this for the number of characters to display for each thread or am I missing something?

Code from config file:
========================
//Retrieve news from the correct forum, which is the forumid
$newsforums = 1;

//Number of news items to show at once
$newsitems = 10;

//Path to your forums directory (leave out trailing slash)
$forumspath = "/forums";
==========================

Gutspiller · #**504** 07-12-2003, 09:56 AM

I must be thinking abut the Latest XX hack then. I use both quite a bit on my site: http://www.3dnewz.com

upnorth · #**505** 07-17-2003, 07:36 PM

anyone know what would need to be changed to get an attached image file to be displayed with this hack?

D2Expansion · #**506** 07-21-2003, 07:12 AM

awesome script
got it in use and integrated into my site at
www.d2expansion.com

but i have one thing i want to do, and it doesnt really have anthing todo with the script but rather with php

i split the $dateposted variable into 2 variables

PHP Code:


			
//gotta convert that damn unix time crap

$dateposted = date("D, M j",$dateline);

$timeposted = date("g:i A",$dateline);

//end the goodies

wich displays it as:
$dateposted = Mon, Jul 21
$timeposted = 4:45 AM

i want $dateposted to display as Monday, July 21

is this possible?

thanks

Im getting this error:

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/green/public_html/index_uaap.php on line 313

FYI, i inserted this tag in my html file and saved it as php

<? include ("http://www.greenarcher.net/forums/campusbuzz.php"); ?>

Thanks

I added a simple bit of code to make it not say last comment was posted by $username when there were no comments. Here it is:
";
if ($replycount[replycount]==0]){
echo "<a href=\"$forumspath/showthread.php?s=&threadid=$threadid\"><b>$replyco unt</b> $commenttext</a>";
}else{
echo "<a href=\"$forumspath/showthread.php?s=&threadid=$threadid\"><b>$replyco unt</b> $commenttext</a> Last comment was by <b>$lastposter</b>";
}
echo"

Hoping someone can help.

On my site, we are trying to PREVENT certain sections from being viewed in the Actice Topics list (www.clanbrats.com).

Any offers of suggestion?

Any clues whether this can work with vB 3 betas at its current stage?
