Ok finally got this hack ported to 6.1. A very special thanks to LK and freeTV who helped port the hack to 6.1, and added a few code changes that I've implemented. Thanks again! Hack is very similiar to the 6.0X version, almost all code is in the same place. If you are upgrading your board from 6.0X, just re-install the entire hack by following the included Readme, there are no other upgrade instructions for the V2 series.

Post any bugs or problems here as well.

Enjoy!

Changes in 4.1
* Fixed a bug with the added Graemlins feature.
(Thanks LK!!)

Upgrade instructions for 4.0 TO 4.1 are available in zip file.

Current Version:
Download News Fader 4.1

Previous 6.1 Versions:
Download News Fader 4.0
Download News Fader 3.5
Download News Fader 3.1
Download News Fader 3.0

Yes this appears to work with the accelerator, at least it does on my test board.

If you are unsure what the News Fader is, see my board at http://www.vhforums.com. Now I haven't upgraded it to 6.1 yet, but it's the same thing on the 6.05 board. I have it working on a 6.1 test board, but I am not providing access to that currently.

Guys, I'm about to upload 3.1 to the server. I advise EVERYONE who installed 3.0 to upgrade to 3.1 The code has been cleaned up A LOT (thanks LK) and the post and topic count feature works again. See my first post for the new download link.

i have 2 tiny problems.

1. if i want to update the news, i have to do it in the text file, update to my server, then do the samething in control panel then it work. If i just add or change news in control panel, it won't show up.

2. I use 3.1 now. I select dispplay both topic and post, but the topic and post didnt' show up. I went back to my control panel and see my previous selection uncheck. confused

Anyone know what the problem?

I installed the script and now when I go to Control Panel >> NewsFader Settings, it gives me an error message:

"Can't find string terminator ")" anywhere before EOF at /home/gamepro/public_html/needforbetterspeed/cgi-bin/cp_news_fader.cgi line 23."

Also the there is a bit of code on the very top of the page: Content-type: text/html .
I rehacked the script but I am still getting the same error message. I didn't get much sleep last night, and it is possible I made a mistake, any chance you could point me to the right direction, where to look for a fix? confused

Thx Laszlo

Open CP_NEWS_FADER.CGI and find the line print qq(Thanks to LK for 6.1 optimization
. Now add a ");" to the end of the line. Simple mistake.

OH, this line in your upgrade.txt file is very confusing:

You say to find that first line, then add all that stuff below it (which is already there...), then replace "that code" with what we found in the first place. By trial-and-error I figured you meant to delete all that code except for the original return ($PageTop); . Perhaps you should make that a little clearer smile .

Guys I have fixed some mistakes with my code I made in haste today. If you are having problems, redownload 3.1 and re-hack your files and use the new files I put in there.

Influenza - Thanks for catching the problems. smile With regards to the update directions, I worded it the way I did to avoid confusion. smile If people seem to be having trouble understanding that, I will switch it.

Sounds like file permissions are off somewhere. Make sure that newsfader.txt in your non-cgi directory is chmoded 777.

Ok guys, LK came up with another breakthrough today so there is about to be a News Fader 3.5. I know all these releases are annoying, but we're just trying to get this thing running as smooth as possible, and this recent fix is a BIG HELP to putting in your headlines. You no longer have to worry about the ","", stuff that needed to be after each line, and you can now use all "" in your HTML tags. Also, the need for the newfader.txt file is now gone. At one time it was only like that for a possible SSI thing, but I've never bothered with it.

Ok check my first post to download the 3.5, and there are upgrade instructions. It's a very easy upgrade, apart from of course re-entering your news headlines again.

Ok just updated zip file again, with a little change to some code, BUT if you have already loaded 3.5 don't worry about it, your code will work fine. Just a little re-write, nothing that major to worry about if you've already got 3.5 working.

Ok, got it working smile It was the cp_common.pl file. It seems it wanted the proper formating. Typicaly I cut and past from the hack doument to the file. In this case I had to format it the same as the rest.

Thanx!!!

Cool SI, that damn wrap issue is really causing a problem. Never had to worry about it before, have no clue why I can't seem to get the wrap correct for some.
