Another News Mod

[Defyeler]

Is it possible to have this mod use my existing CSS on my website and not the forum template?

Also, I want to use this with a PHP Include rather than an iFrame. How easily could this be done?

(Go Belgium )

Yup, I have it using my new site I'm working on.

It uses the site's CSS template instead of PHPBB's.

Also if you notice, its not in a frame, its a PHP include.

You need to MOD the root path, remove the header / footer includes in the announcement.php file. Change the target paths in the news_body.tpl so the thing doesn't open in a new page via " target='_blank' ".

I may post a tutorial on my hack of this mod later after I finish the site.

Hi, how do i edit this section? what should I do about this message?

'Do it yourself' instructions need to be executed by you manually, EasyMOD can not perform these actions
Now you can add http://linktoforum/announcements.php into a frame on you website.
Use for this <iframe src="http://linktoforum/announcements.php" width="70%" height="100%"></iframe>

Also, how exactely do I get the news onto my main page? do I have to add a php extension? anyhelp will be appreciated.

Here are the links to my main site and the forum.

If your website is in php, I'd advise you using

Code: Select all

<? include("http://www.animegears.ej.am/forum/phpBB2/announcements.php"); ?>

Otherwise, insert the iFrame to your website.

Good luck,

Cheers.

Create new page and add is as an iframe is the easiest way

[silent1643]

yeah i eventually figured it out using the object code... i had to change some things around such as the "read more" link to go to the actual post instead of the article by itself. Now how do i make it where instead of the frame/object being scrollable, it just makes the page longer depending on the data. And how do i change the color of the text, its pulling the wrong color from the css i presume

[Janmarques]

Pure HTML!

hi, i tried to install this mode on my site. I thought, that all is right, but it give me this error:

Could not query announcements information

Code: Select all

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : -1 ERROR: LIMIT #,# syntax is not supported HINT: Use separate LIMIT and OFFSET clauses.

SELECT t.topic_id, t.topic_time, t.topic_title, pt.post_text, u.username, u.user_id, t.topic_replies, pt.bbcode_uid, t.forum_id, t.topic_poster, t.topic_first_post_id, t.topic_status, pt.post_id, p.post_id, p.enable_smilies FROM phpbb_topics AS t, phpbb_users AS u, phpbb_posts_text AS pt, phpbb_posts AS p WHERE t.forum_id IN (1) AND t.topic_time <= 1170862363 AND t.topic_poster = u.user_id AND t.topic_first_post_id = pt.post_id AND t.topic_first_post_id = p.post_id AND t.topic_status <> 2 ORDER BY t.topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,5

Line : 75
File : fetchposts.php

I was trying both iframe and include, and it do same. What's wrong?

PS: please excuse my weak English
