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...*

Lookin sweet to me ... no errors that I can see

What was it ?

Goldfinger · #**183** 09-15-2001, 12:53 PM

i dunno.. i just required the global.php before my <html> tag and deleted the require global.php from PluhNews.php and did that domain cookie thing and it works

.

Goldfinger · #**184** 09-15-2001, 12:53 PM

Yes i am very happy thanks for all the help guys.

#**185** 09-15-2001, 12:54 PM

Yep, thats exactly what I did

Cookies are evil dammit ... but they make life much easier than typing the username/password each time you visit

#**186** 09-15-2001, 12:55 PM

webhost, thanks for the cookie domain suggestion

Goldfinger · #**187** 09-15-2001, 12:55 PM

yes i think cookies were created by the devil. and are possesed.

#**188** 09-16-2001, 06:10 PM

Do you what is causing the header problem?

webhost · #**189** 09-16-2001, 06:35 PM

usbnuts

Go back and read the last 15 post's you will see how to fix the problem you are having.

Goldfinger · #**190** 09-17-2001, 11:55 AM

How can you make it so it only shows the last 4 headlines and still shows the last 10 news items? Cause i dont want it to show ALL of the headlines.

#**191** 09-17-2001, 06:29 PM

u have to define the two mySQL queries with different LIMIT value.

I use the PluhNews on my homepage and I would like to "ameliorate" it. I would like to log on my homepage and see new or updated news (pluhnews) with the arrow of the board.

PHP Code:


			
require("./forum/global.php");



if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  

print("<p align='center'>Welcome back,<br /> <b>$username!</b></p>");

print("<p align='center'><b>[ <a href='forum/index.php'>Enter</a> ]</b></p>");



} else {



?>

<form action="http://www.site.com/forum/member.php" method="post" />

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="login" />

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td align="left"><font class="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="1"><b>Username:</b></font></td>

    <td align="left"><input type="text" name="username" size="7" /></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td align="left"><font class="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="1"><b>Password:</b></font></td>

    <td align="left"><input type="password" name="password" size="7" /></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Login!" /></td>

  </tr>

</table>

</form>

<?



}



?>

this small code (see hacks for version 2.x) allow to login on a non VB page. When you log, you go on the index of forum.
I would like to stay on the homepage and view the news for my session.
I hope you understand what I said

Thx in advance for help

Ok, 1 problem and one request

PROBLEM
The PluhHeadlines.php file seems to be constantly connected to my forums as seen here:

This is wierd, any ideas as to why this would be happening?

REQUEST
Ok, if I turn off my board, here is how a section of my front page looks:

It would be awesome if it would display a little message if the board was turned off instead of getting the templates and stuff in there too...any ideas or suggestions?

thnx,
~Ian

Nice hack but I need categories! I want to be able to pull the latest news from all forum categories!

Example

Forum (NEWS)
-Category 1
-Category 2
-Category 3
etc

A few things like, "E-mail this to a friend" and "Print View" would be cool as well.

#**195** 09-21-2001, 10:25 PM

SirSteve,

I think you just have to change one line to grab any thread titles forum catergoies you want.

// create sql statement
$sql = "SELECT threadid, title, forumid, replycount, postusername, postuserid, lastposter, dateline, iconid FROM thread WHERE forumid = "1" AND forumid = "2" AND forumid = "3" ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT $newsitems";

#**196** 09-23-2001, 03:16 PM

Anyone knows what to change, that not the complete Article, but after 100 or 200 letters it ends with a "...more..." linked to the complete article???
