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...*

Whew, sorry I was away for a few days.

Okay, I'm going to go over all these additions and clean up the HTML code tonight most likely. I'll give credit where the credit is due!

As far as multiple news forums, I'll get cracking on that. Any suggestions on how to do this would be great.

Ohh, and headlines...I have a script for that too that I'll release with the next version!

i tried and i get an error

Okay, I have the script almost ready. I need Dark Wizard to send me those little fixes he made to the time bug (I seem to have misplaced them the first time he sent it to me).

You can see everything functioning (except for the fixes Dark Wizard sent me) for the news (including VBcode, smilies, and line breaks) here: http://pluh.com/forums/PluhNews.php

And here is what the headlines look like: http://pluh.com/forums/PluhHeadlines.php

I'll be tweaking the HTML here and there as well.

I have the news.php working fine. I must have missed the headlines.php or is this something new you are working on?

Kayn · #66 07-17-2001, 04:02 PM

Headlines is brand new to this script. I should be releasing it today -

Bane · #67 07-17-2001, 05:06 PM

Kayn, would it be possible for you to implement the ability to use a header and footer? I would rather not use this in a call if at all possible.

Kayn · #68 07-17-2001, 05:23 PM

Hmm...

I now have it where it calls the configuration from a separate php file, but that's it.

Elaborate please?

Bane · #69 07-17-2001, 05:30 PM

Sorry, what I had meant is that instead of using an include from a shtml file, it could be used by itself by using a header and footer file. For example head.txt and foot.txt to set the page up and then the news files within it. so I could just put http://www.??.com/news.php and it would pull up the full page.

Kayn · #70 07-17-2001, 06:28 PM

That would be easy...

You can include files inside the news script form separate new files, and it can be completely optional. Am I right?

If people would rather just include the news file on another page like it's set up now, they can. Sound right to ya?

Bane · #71 07-17-2001, 06:32 PM

Sounds downright perfect to me

SystemLogic · #72 07-17-2001, 06:42 PM

I saw one sites example where he had a source site which showed up as a seperate field in his news posts....how would i go about doing that?

sysmom · #73 07-17-2001, 06:50 PM

I'm using it as an include, and it worked flat out right the first time.

I especially LIKE using it as an include because I can hide the php source filename from public consumption. I wasn't particularly happy with the database name/password hanging out there. Yes, yes, I know, it's executed by the server, but now it's just that much harder to know where to look.

You should *see* the name I gave it... Heh.

And the page with the header and footer in it has a nice predictable page template named, news.shtml

But there's no news.php in my directory...

-deb (only mildly paranoid...)

Dark_Wizard · #74 07-17-2001, 09:14 PM

Kayn >>> I sent you the fixes again....check your email! I can also add the multiple forums for you if you want but would like to see what you have so far....actual code that is

Kayn · #75 07-17-2001, 09:21 PM

Actually, I think I've got that figured out!

I'm making some changes now...you'll see the new version out tonight.

Kayn · #76 07-17-2001, 10:36 PM

New Version is out. Go to the first page to get it!

Thanks for all your help ya'll!
