vB News CMS

What does this do? It allows you to take your news from your news forums (up to 9 news forums) and display them in a category-style fashion with the ability to add new content, reply to the original story, send to a friend, and print.

This is a limited 3.5.x version. For more features, such as parsing bbcode, you should use the 3.6.x version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133302

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the forumid?
The forumid is the id of the forum you have created. Each forum has its own unique number assigned to it. When you click on a forum link you can see a number that is assigned to it. This will show up in the URL of the page you are browsing. Another way of seeing the forumid is to go to your admin control panel => Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager => Click on [Expand All] and then move your mouse over (hover) any of the forums you've created. Your status bar (bottom of screen) should display your forumid (number at the end of the link/url).


Changes
Added security

Known Bugs/Issues:
1) - When you go to the page directly, the page acts as a normal page - however, if you click refresh on the page, the refresh stalls. I don't understand why this occurs.
2) - BBCode does not parse yet - I am looking into making it parse without causing problems.

Just added to our site and is a Excellent addition to vBulletin Thank you for your contribution.

We want to be able to have multiple vbnews.php (pages). In our case we would like to use vbnews(1) as a Builders interviews, and vbnews(2) as Vendor Interviews and so on.

So... the question is; what would it take to make multiple vbnews (pages)?

We've already experimented with this and got it to work. There are a few things to do - one is to rename the script and edit a section within the script.

For the script, rename vbnews.php to whatever.php and then edit this line:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'vbnews');

changing the vbnews to whatever you named the script. Then alter the variables on this script.

In the product, all the variables will need to be altered (to match the variables you changed them to in the script), along with certain names (product name, template names, etc.). This would take some work, but it can be done.

Btw, I also have a 3.6 version of this script that has more features - including bbcode support, plus don't forget to click install .

[molieman]

Thank You!!!!

and OOPS.... Posted in the wrong thread. I do have the 3.6 version... does the changes you mentioned, apply in the 3.6 version also?

Maybe I don't.... are you talking about the legacy version?

[davidw]
