I'm just wondering where you got your news module? From what I've seen from it, when an admin submits a news article, it also goes into the forums under the News catergory, and I like that feature. Can anyone tell me how to set this up?

It's the phpBB2News module for the Forums from http://www.portedmods.com
They stopped dev. on the Adv. Forum News, but I think they still may have the regular one we use over there.

The only bad thing about it is the index page for the News has to be modified to match the theme you use. If you use multiple themes, it really doesn't look good then.

I only use 1 theme, so thats cool

all I was able to find was ForumNews, which I downloaded and installed, but it isnt the same thing...I think I can get it to work correctly though

Cancel that...I get a 'you cant access this file directly' error

OK...
here ya go
Read the Readme.txt FIRST.
Install it.
You will need to modify the modules/phpbb2_news/index.php file
in order to make it match your theme.
Open that file and towards the bottom part you will see the html script.
Open your themes/Yourtheme/story_home.html as an example to match up the html colors etc. with your current theme.

Ok, much thanks....I downloaded the hack of it....so what would the hack do if I installed it now? Because the News doesnt look right now, will the hack fix this? Thanks again

hah! I'm having a mess of problems...I installed the program...and it ran just fine, then about 2 mins later it died...and now my home site is empty

It looks fine to me

Did you download the phpBB2_news modules link I gave you Kristic?
It is very easy to install.
Main thing is to READ the readme.txt


If you already tried to install the one from ported mods, I can't help you there too much. I don't know much about their version.
The link I gave you is the one we use here at nukemods. It is our own personal hacked version of the fetch_all for phpBB for this site.
