Thanks
It's explained in the readme. One line where you want the news table.

Hi Greg,
I know we have to call that <-#exec --> command but I don't know where to put it. I know that these SSI call only works in .shtml file. We don't have any .shtml file in the UBB at all. Should we create one and put this command inside? I mean how does it all work together? Can you explain alittle more.
Sorry, I am new to this SSI, please patient with me.
Thanks Greg

This is to include news into your webpage. Put the code on your web page.

Should there be a file included named "vars_ubbnews?
And is this what gets added into the template: "...cp.cgi?ubb=view_newssessions&r=$ran"

Redo the cp.cgi file hacks, making sure it requires at least one file.

First set of problems fixed. Reupload ubbnews.cgi, cp_ubbnews and redo cp_common.pl and cp.cgi carefully.

Hello Greg, thanks for this hack, ive used it on 4 ubb versions now. I am posting for a request. The date format on a standard install displays the date in a number only format (ie: 02-10-2002). I wanted to request a date which displays the month in its full-name form. (ie: February 10th, 2002). Ive done this hack on all the prior ubbnews releases. And, its getting old  Here is an example of a hacked ubbnews hack, displaying a full-name date (as well as a divider): http://www.altereddestiny.net Also, if possible, the addition of an option to add a page divider would be fantastic. Thank you again, --Corona

Bug found:
Install text doesn't mention what to do with the included vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file included. Theres also a field inside the included vars_wordlets_mod.cgi which doesn't need to exist -- key is named: mod_wordlets.
Also, minor spelling error exist in cp_ubbnews_add_newssession.pl and cp_ubbnews_edit_newssession.pl. Status is misspelled as Satus.
I'll ship ya my ubbnews files after i hack the full-name date into them.

Heres my quick and dirty way to get the month to display with a full-name. in ubbnews.cgi: ## find: # strip off images - DONT. # $name_space{topic_body} =~ s/ ]+?>//ig;
##Add below:
($name_space{GetMonth}, $name_space{GetDate}, $name_space{GetYear}) = split(/-/, $name_space{topic_date});
my @UbbnewsMonths = ("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
$name_space{topic_date} = $UbbnewsMonths[($name_space{GetMonth} -1)] . " " . $name_space{GetDate} . ", " . $name_space{GetYear};

Can someone please tell me how they got into the control panel? There are so few things to modify here, and I can't get in.

In: "use vars qw(%vars_ubbnews %vars_ubbnews_sessions);"
should this be:
"use vars qw(%vars_ubb_news %vars_ubbnews_sessions);"
When I made that change, I got in the control panel! Yeay!

bug -- when using ssi to call the news, the body text color within the news appears black, regardless of style settings. Also, body text does not follow style template text size setting.
To fix:
## in public_ubbnews.pl
## find:
$name_space->{topic_body}
## replace with:
$name_space->{topic_body}

[code][/code]Thanks. [/b]
Me too...
Also, does this automatically create a sidebar or do I have to install the sidebar first? ... Can I decide where I want this to appear?... right, left, top, bottom? ... is it on the front page only or can i have it in every forum?

This hack puts news posted in a single forum YOU set on the main page of your site... There SHOULDN'T be any indication this exists if you dont add the code to your index page.

I DID add the code to my page... and there is NO table or news or anything... I set it up to pull from forums... headlines only... yes, I put only the forum numbers seperated by spaces... I followed your installation instructions word for word... did not add anything or subtract anything... I did exactly as I was told... and I have NOTHING!... please do not patronize... I thought this place was for assistance... and learning... I didn't know that a pre-requisite was to be an expert... if I were an expert, I wouldn't need your assistance, now would I? ...

No Kel.
Try this:

Remove the spaces if UBB added them in the above code.
