Modification Name: [6.5] UBBNews (perl) Author(s): Allen Ayres Description: Allows you to use SSI to post news via a forum. Demo: https://ubbdev.com Requirements: UBB 6.5 and mod wordlets Download Link: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/ubbnews65.mhp Credits: JB007 for the original version and Mastermind, LK, Burak, and many others for updates Notes: This is a medium/minor update with several bugfixes and lots of small tweaks to the code.

you can always export a text file from a multihack file.

Hey allen, anyway to get a textbox with forums listed like in the CI list? Allen, you may want to add that people need to add a folder named "ubbnews" to their cgi directory... Otherwise theil get: quote:
An error has occurred:
Unable to create a new configuration file: No such file or directory at /var/subdomain/tavern/html/cgi-bin/cp_ubbnews.cgi line 107.

Where you select forums you want to use, it'd be better to have a textbox showing the forums you have then having to go and find the forum number for each forum  ...

SSI call, PHP include, etc... I believe the file you'd call is in the cgi directory (i don't use it that much) <!--#exec cgi="http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1" --> <?php print implode("n", file("http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1"));?>

Hey allen, quick little thing... When I go to http://www.undergroundnews.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1 to view the news id, it shows the wording as my background color on black (not my text color) any idea why? Better yet, anyway to get it to not output colors at all so i could use css?

You can use css, just adjust it on your template file. It shows the colors you see because normally the text color is set by the rest of your page (within the ubb it's in the small bit of css charles has added in public_common.pl )

it's a yes when 6.6 is final If you already had it installed on a previous version, your newsfeeds will still work, it's just not integrated into the cp

I had to modify the hack somewhat to work on 6.7. I added additional variables required.
It works if I manually add the news session files.Add one in the ubbnews folder and then edit the var file.
Intergrating it to the control panel would be really tough for me though.
Maybe infopop will add topic text to Content Islands someday.

It has not been updated for 6.7, nor do I know of anyone who's planning on it.
