Well, I've updated the hack, here are the fixes, new features:
1. When I was developing the hack, I added the hashes to the use vars statement in cp.cgi but forgot to mention that in the installation file, this is now fixed. 2. Applied MM's fix. 3. Added 'View Headlines Only' feature, you can enable it from the news session addition/modification page. It will show only the forum,topic subject and the posting date of the topic ( like Ted's old news grabber ). 4. Minor changes in the templates to be more ubb-style compatible. 5. Minor change in the wordlets file, actually there was a typo in one of the hash keys.
To update, just perform the first new step of the cp.cgi instructions and reupload all files.
For those who want to upgrade from previous versions, you must uninstall the old hack, install the new one and create a new session that matches your old settings.
Allen, the instructions for creating the new directory are already there ( in the 'preparing for install' section ).
