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...*

OK here's my page. http://www.gameforumz.com

First off, how do I change font size and font color?

I tried this: , but it didn't work.

I am also having this error displayed at the top of the news:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /my/path/forumz/news.php:6) in /my/path/forumz/admin/functions.php on line 1500
(I added the /my/path/ instead of my real path though

)

But the wierd thing is, when I click "Search The News" and then click my browser back button, it's gone. What does that mean? My users complained about this too. How do I fix this error?

Also I would like to get the news and headlines on the same page, but one or the other error out.

Instead of the headlines taking you to the forum, how about having it take you down the page to that news post?

I tried to put this on a forum with a moderators queue and I got an error. Is this just my board, or does it not support that? If it doesn't support it, that is a really needed feature.

It would be nice if it got the time of the post from the CP of the person that has logged in and their time settings instead of the server.

It would be a nice feature to only show a certain amount of lines of the full post. That way you could post something big and it would be say 250 characters or so and then it would have some text at the end saying "read more" that you could click and it would take you to the actual post in the forum.

When clicking the comments it would be nice if it took you straight to the 2nd post and not the very first which is just a repeat of where you just came from.

It would be cool to set the search to be defaulted to the forum where the hack is getting the news.

To have an archived news by day, with text buttons on the front page that says, see yesterdays news, etc. maybe up to week old news, then it goes into a main archive or something.

The catagories that you have talked about are much needed. It would be nice to have some check boxes where you could check what catagories you would like to see.

Just a few

ideas I have that I think could make this hack even better.

If somebody can help me with my problem up at the top of this post though, that would be great.

Thanks!

No, that wouldn't work. You are assigning a color where you should be assigning a family.

It should be something like this:

got it. Thanks. What about that other error? I editted it in.

DrkFusion · #**325** 02-09-2002, 10:26 PM

I want to include my avatar on the news display. How would I go about doing this?

anders · #**326** 02-10-2002, 05:42 AM

This script doesent work out of the box in another directory than within the forum directory any plans on releasing something that does?

Gutspiller · #**327** 02-11-2002, 04:00 PM

Can somebody please help me with this error. Sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't. It seems like I can get the error toe quit showing if I go to the actual forumz and then come back to the news page and it doesn't show the error again. Here's the error:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /my/path/forumz/news.php:6) in /my/path/forumz/admin/functions.php on line 1500
(I added the /my/path/ instead of my real path though

)

I posted it a few messages above and got no reply. Also in my admin/functions here are lines 1496 - 1504

PHP Code:


			


// ###################### Start show_nopermission #######################

function vbdate($format,$timestamp) {

  global $bbuserinfo,$timeoffset;



  return date($format,$timestamp+($bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset']-$timeoffset)*3600);



}



// ##################### Save birthdays into template ###################

Can somebody please help me with this problem?

Thanks.

This may have already been done by someone, or maybe I missed it already, but could someone please bare with me and try to help me out?

Instead of all of the news appearing at once from a single post, is there a way to shorten it to a few sentences? (See below)

Say I have this:

Welcome to my site, this is the grand opening, I hope you like the site. We have been working hard to get the site up and running and we hope that you will enjoy your stay here.

But I would like it to be like this:

Welcome to my site, this is the grand opening, I hope you like the site. We have been working hard to get the site up and running and we hope that...... Click Here To Read More

Has someone already done this or would someone know how to do this, help is appreciated with this modifications.

Thanks ahead of time

You may want to try this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=latest

There is a setting that allows the latest threads to show part of the first post. The only modifing it would really need would be to make it so that when somebody replied to a post it DIDN'T move up.
