Ok, I'll piece this together in this format:
#comment
$variable
------------- these are my current settings ---
# Change active.cgi to the name you change the script to.
$online_url = "$CGIURL/slashubb.cgi";# Forum number of the news forum (Must NOT be private or password protected)
$forum = 1;# Set to 1 for headlines ONLY, 0 if you want headlines + summary.
$headlines_only = 0;# The number of characters to display in the summary.
(I bumped this up to test although nothing changed for me)$SummaryChars = 800;# Number of news topics to display
$num_threads = 3;# 0 = Start at first post, 1 = Skip first post
$remove_first = 0;# Set this option to 1 if you want to used a fixed length summary, taken from the ?summarchars command line SSI call or from the above setting. If set to 0, put ---Full Story--- on a blank line to end the summary, if you do not put ---Full Story---, it will display the entire posted message from the SSI call.
(I tried this at 1 thus the bumped $SummaryChars variable. As you can see , even with this set to 0 it is not getting the complete messages)$FixedSummary = 0;# 0 = No Save, 1 = On (saves in NonCGIPath as "slashubb.htm") script instead of having the server read the news everytime the page is loaded. Will reduce server load at the expense of non-realtime news.
$save_to_file = 0;What do your settings look like?
Thanks for you help,
Jeremiah
