The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 09-01-2000

I'd like to have certain memebers of my forum, Admins, moderators and SuperModerators, be able to post news to the front page of my site, and have a 'comments' link at the bottom of the summary that links through to a new thread that was generated when the news article was posted. Then other members of the site can comment on the story from within the regular vB system.

Stallion and others talk about it in the Suggestions forum: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...?threadid=2746 and he says it would be a pretty easy hack to do.

One other thing about the initial news post. I'd like it to show a small mugshot of the news poster (here's mine:

) much like the ones used at http://www.highervoltage.net.

Also, since my forum is based on individual games, it would be cool if the news thread was created in the corresponding forum. Quake news goes to the Quake forum and such. Plus, a special icon, color or title should distinguish the news thread from the regular threads in the destination forum.

What do you think?

that are outside of the forums directory?

i keep getting pathing errors back to the admin/config.php file (i think because i'm trying to include() the news.php file in another php file which is outside of the forums directory.)

how do you go about doing something like that?

you can set the PHP include_path in your .htaccess file to put the config.php file where ever you need. Then you won't get path errors. I have done this so long I probably forgot to mention it, it's so convienient when working with inc'd files (because of the DUMB way that PHP remembers the path to inc'd files that breaks paths if you try to go to different branches in a directory tree) you'll never go back. Do a google search for it or try php.net, it's a simple process.

Heads up: I programmed a user-comment system for my site (MovieForums.com)...people will be able to leave comments with their username and password FROM my copy of vBulletin...it'll also count their comment total in their profile...like the post total.

It's a very cool integration...

#36 09-22-2000, 12:42 PM

using the same type of intigration with my backend. Comments made will actually add to the total post count

Thats interesting...due to the nature of mine, however, it makes more sense to seperate them.

What site is it for?

A digital art site

#39 09-23-2000, 01:07 PM

I see...very cool.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
