I have a question here.
Will the news still be viewable if I close the forum ?
Do you believe in love at first sight,
or should I walk by again?

Well, I made some fixes that hopefully will fix the problem. All you've to do is to re download, reupload the templates and ubbnews.cgi file.

Chuck, Well, the ubbnews.cgi file does not check vars_forums.cgi because I don't want to do a lot of file I/O operations. So it will display the news of that forum even if it is closed.

Hehe. I wouldn't be that hasty. Newspro is a MUCH better script than UBB News.
I mean that in no offense JB. Your script is awesome, for something that is feeding off of a forum. It really is.
I like newspro because of it's versatility. I use it from news to release dates to previews to even affiliate managing.
I love UBB News though, because my forum members can post to the news =).
I just need to have 2 UBB News programs, than my site can open.
I would like to die like my grandfather; peacefully in his sleep, unlike the screaming passengers in the car he was driving.

what about it saying which forum it pulled it from say you had movies, video games, and anime it would say From: Anime or From: Movies down where it says how may replies(or else where) the would be helpful if you covered more than one topic on your site

Wait. Dude, what JB did is that he allows is for ONE ubbnews.cgi to load news from more than one source. I am talking about having 2 different ubbnews's.

M2sc-com, you can easily do what you want through the templates [ public_ubb_news.pl ]. The forum name is the variable: $params->{forumname} , just move it where ever you like  Axeone, So you want the ubbnews.cgi to be called with parametres like these: ubbnews.cgi?forums=1,2,3 .. ? this will allow you to choose different forums for each session.

yes PLEASE JB007 do a feature like that! I have 5 sites that share the same UBB that each have their own forum. And i need each site to have it's own news on the front page. Could you do something like this? If you do, you will finally help me put my site online! Thank you very very much in advance if you do that!

Ok, I'll do it! You'll be able to choose 'default' forums from the CP and the script can accept other forums numbers from the URL too! if you didn't specify the default forums it'll just display forums you select from the URL.
M2sc-com, make sure you clear the summary cache.

I've done it. Go and redownload, you'll find a file named 'ubbnewsupg1.1.txt' follow the instructions if you are running version 1.1 [ that supports multiple forums ]. If you are not, follow the instructions in in ubbnewsupg.txt first.

Really nice, just one bug: IT DOESN'T WORK!  Execution of ubbnews.cgi aborted due to compilation errors. It only happened after upgrading to 1.2 from 1.1.

(or something like that, the same as in your manual and the same as the one that worked in 1.1):
Software error:
Execution of ubbnews.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
(or something like that, the same as in your manual):
[an error occurred while processing this directive]

You've to add: in your SHTML page so that you can view the smilies correctly [ ubb does not store the full path for them ].

Yeah, I haven't gotten THAT error yet...but something weird. The function "EXEC CGI" no longer works. I had to use the INCLUDE VIRTUAL function. Must be the new coding

Ok.. that new update knocked down more than 1/2 of the junk code that was getting spit out. There is a little more its pumping out. Could you check: http://207.106.139.34/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi **Which works fine and the ssi call at: http://207.106.139.34/mmb_bak/ **Still shows some additional output. Thx JB007!

I installed UBBnews and when I try to adjust settings in Control Panel, I select 'UBBnews Settings', and it displays
"UBBNews Settings" in bold above the drop down menus, and nothing else.
Any ideas?

xtrecate: you are probably missing the templates. upload cp_vars_ubb_news.pl and public_ubb_news.pl from the zip to ure boards 'Templates' directory.

ok i still haven't gotten it to work but i'm going to upgrade my ubb to the newest version and then trying the news hack again. i sure do hope it works this time.
hey mr. bond i have another idea for a feature. I love the idea how you can retreive the news from different forums and call them from different pages but can you make it so each one can have a different template so each one can have it's own color scheme? This would be great and then this would be the best script in the world!

ok i've upgraded UBB and reuploaded UBB News. Now i have a few questions in the UBB News control panel. Maybe put a wrong setting in there last time.
Where it says 'Forum(s) to grab topics from'. What exactly do I put here? I don't quite understand it.
Where it says 'Maximum forums to be called via URL'. What exactly does this mean? And what do I put there?
Ok hopefully you can answer these questions and it then UBB News will work. I'm scared to access from the page and get an error again so I just want the setting to be exactly right.

This would be great if we can do this. Our one UBB supports about 20 news pages. Some of them are the exact same forum but we format them differently per the color sets of the sites. Example www.shatteredcrystal.com shows news from 5 different sites plus it has it's own news in full form. Then if you look at www.markeedragon.com you will see that it's main body news was the headlines for Ultima Online on the other site. Having the ability to run multiple scripts would be the answer for us as our setup is complex in the fact that we have different color sets and we also have multiple news styles. All of these are running from the SlashUBB for UBB5.

For those who are having troubles with SSI check the perl path and the SSI statement.
Thanatos, "Forum(s) to grab topics from" option sets the default forums that you'd like to retrive news from. For example, if you want to retrive information from forum1 and forum2 you put: 1 2 [ Separate numbers by spaces].
The other option indicates how many forums that could be called via the URL ( ubbnews.cgi?forums=3,4,5 ) It's very necessary to set it to a small number , for example: if you specificed 3 then only three forums could be called, any extra forums will be dropped ( ubbnews.cgi?forums=3,4,5,6,7 forums 6 and 7 will be cancelled ).
