Modification Name: [6.5] UBBNews (perl)

Author(s): Allen Ayres

Description: Allows you to use SSI to post news via a forum.

Demo: https://ubbdev.com

Requirements: UBB 6.5 and mod wordlets

Download Link: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/ubbnews65.mhp

Credits: JB007 for the original version and Mastermind, LK, Burak, and many others for updates

Notes: This is a medium/minor update with several bugfixes and lots of small tweaks to the code. Not as good as a full CI ubbnews, but works until that one comes along smile

Input for further refinement is always appreciated smile

Hey allen, anyway to get a textbox with forums listed like in the CI list?

Allen, you may want to add that people need to add a folder named "ubbnews" to their cgi directory... Otherwise theil get:

Where you select forums you want to use, it'd be better to have a textbox showing the forums you have then having to go and find the forum number for each forum smirk...

SSI call, PHP include, etc...

I believe the file you'd call is in the cgi directory (i don't use it that much)

Code
<!--#exec cgi="http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1" -->
Code
<?php print implode("n", file("http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1"));?>

Hey allen, quick little thing... When I go to http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1 to view the news id, it shows the wording as my background color on black (not my text color) any idea why? Better yet, anyway to get it to not output colors at all so i could use css?

You can use css, just adjust it on your template file. It shows the colors you see because normally the text color is set by the rest of your page (within the ubb it's in the small bit of css charles has added in public_common.pl )

it's a yes when 6.6 is final smile If you already had it installed on a previous version, your newsfeeds will still work, it's just not integrated into the cp

I had to modify the hack somewhat to work on 6.7. I added additional variables required.
It works if I manually add the news session files.Add one in the ubbnews folder and then edit the var file.
Intergrating it to the control panel would be really tough for me though.
Maybe infopop will add topic text to Content Islands someday.

It has not been updated for 6.7, nor do I know of anyone who's planning on it.
