Fixed? the Sytles problem, or my problem? I ask, because I download the zip again, and then checked the sized of the files, and the instructions. All of the files are the same size, and there is no change to the instructions.

If my problem is fixed, then I assume I need to redo the install? Or is there one file I need to reupload and/or edit?

Thanks!

Ok, ive got this working, but its displaying:

How do I set it so a) It doesnt put the forum name at the start of each topic, and b) remove the time and date at the end?

thanks!

I've managed to remove the date, time and forum description, but I am left with the brackets that would normally be before and after the date and time, and also the colon after the forum name ie:

E46 M3 Discussion: TEST ( )

Ive checked the code, but not being mr coder, im not sure where these are?

OK! found it in the template!

Ok, I have everything working great, but I notice that the script only collects a list of NEW topics, and ignores updated topics..

Is there any way of amending, or adding a feature that allows it to include a thread if it has been updated/replied to as well?

That would be great.. this tool is brilliant.

[code][/code] [/b]</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok so the colours are back now thanks But I really want my header to show and be changeable from the Cp as per the normal template!! how does one get this to work please?

Everything works peachy, except for the fact that it has set any other SSI's after the UBB News to read images from the noncgi directory which I don't want it to do..

Here's an example:
http://www.liberifatali.com/umbrella/index2.shtml

Notice that on the right, all the images have '/noncgi' in them which shouldn't be..

Any ideas please?
Thanks

[EDIT]
I fixed this by FORCING my other images to read from their exact path.. But this should be an issue that needs fixing..

Realised the maxchar is not being updated...

found that in your cp_ubbnews.cgi

there's this

print FILE "foo1 => q~$in{foo1}~,n";

changed it to
print FILE "maxchars => q~$in{maxchars}~,n";

and it worked.

Any chance of allowing multiple HTML templates?

Greetings.
I installed this hack and it works with no major issues, however the one that I do have is the following:
I have only two choices, display only the headlines, or the entire topic.
I tried the check features and that did not do it, I also tried limiting the number of characters and that also failed. Is there a way to show only a part of the topic and have a link to "read more" as in the ubb front page? I'll appreciate any help I can get in solving this matter.
Great hack!!.

Never mind I tryed it again and it works flawlessly.
I must have them gremlins in my server....

Excellent work!!

I used this hack to add the latest topics to my homepage, and it appears to work fine, but...

It doesn't seem to address new REPLIES. That is, if someone posted a message last week saying "How do I do this...?" and then a week later, someone else posted a reply saying "Here is how you do it..." then I'd like that to show up as a news item. That is, I want a list of current topics, not just a list of the last posts.

Can that be done? Or is it supposed to that and something is wrong?

Todd: It is not supposed do that, its the designed behavior.

Is it something you'd be willing to help me pursue, or do you think there is not a demand for it?

Shoot me a PM with details on what you want (much detail, i'm not very smart at figuring it out... ) and i'll see if i can do it.

i've got bluedomino.com has my host and they said i can't call "exec" in ssi code, but the rest of the variables should be ok, so that doesn't necessarily mean no UBB News right? i really don't no the first thing about ssi. not a damn thing. lol

my second question is...does this work with the JC Templates yet??

gost95 i am useing bluedomino.com as well and ubbnews will work for you.

but you have to call the ssi like this for it to work on bluedomino.com.
i use to use exec to call it till they moved me to a new server then the exec call would not work any more.
so i sent them an e-mail to find out what was going on and they sent me an e-mail back saying i had to use the call i posted below.

[code][/code]

but...the big question is does this work with jc templates...about a month and a half ago greg said it didn't.

thanks for the info though man.
