is anyone out the who is able to enhance this little script a bit ? It would be fine to pull the forum icon with the news text if a icon is set in the forum. This should be set on/off in in the script.<br /><br />Second wish: if you set newsbody to a value the '...more news' should be displayd under evere news that is longer than this value.

I'm in the process of re-writing all the add ons for Threads (plus adding a few of my own). I like (and currently use) the IIP add on but it's overkill for what I want to do on my site.<br /><br />I should be finished by the end of this week. If you want to see what it looks like so far you can check out my dev site. Keep in mind that it's not finished and I'm adding a lot more to it. Also I've completely re-scripted the add ons into a single php script plus a template. I still need to add a language file and I'll probably set up a seperate file just for the configuration variables. <br /><br />If all you need is the news add on then I could probably come up with somethign for you -but it will be well after I've finished my own scripting.

I have time and can wait. If you finished I will try to translate the english language to german ans send it to you.

you could set a symbolic link to the directory for your icons and images so that they get pulled in properly on the site that you put the news addon in. Thats what I have done at www.greatlakesalliance.com (message board) and http://fc.greatlakesalliance.com (news) this works only if they are both on the same server (or cluster) and you allow symbolic links.
