Is there a way for the news hack to display links, bolded text, etc?
It only displays the normal text whether it was a link, bold, italic in the original post.

You need to manually edit the hack, removing substr(strip_tags(... directives.

Hi,

yes, this is right. the templates are defined as tables and cells and have a fixed width.
e.g. in hack_1stpagenews2.html you find the tag table width=150. remove the width tag or increase the number

1 problems i cant' seem to solve on my board:

I want to restrict the amount of "characters" displayed on teh front page of my site using the first page news hack :
i've set it as follows in hack_firstpagenews.php:

$maxTxtLength=25;
However, this produces no changes...any reason why it wouldn't?

So for example, if someone names there topic something really long:
i.e..// "This is a really long topic which is going to ruin my front page".

it would be limited to 25 characters, so would read:
"this is a really long topi..."

or something of that nature- any advice?

This setting affects POST TEXT length, not topic. If you want to limit topic length, edit script itself.

Look for

$topics[$tid]['topic_title']=$res[1];

it should be

$topics[$tid]['topic_title']=substr($res[1],0,25);

for example

Works like a charm Team....anyway i could could this to add the frontpage to be lets say 25 characters, and then add 3 dots (...) to the end...

i.e..//
this:
"THis is a long post that needs to be shortened"
would become:
"This is a long post that..."

So $topics[$tid]['topic_title']=substr($res[1],0,25).'...';

Multiple instances

I have MiniBB setup with 3 forums (1,2,3)

I've got the First page news hack working on my index as a php include showing the most recent topics for forum (1) - News

I also wanted to show the most recent topics or posts for the other two forums seperately (2,3), but although I managed to duplicate the first page hack, I can't operate a second instance on the same page. Any reason why?

I originally planned to use RSS for this role, but it won't work for my server unfortunately, I'm running a complex secured server and it cant pass RSS from itself. Bizarre.

A single instance of first page is fine, as long as it were to sort first by forum and then by topic with labels in between? Do I have any options?

Hmm, try to rename all 1st page files and edit for other forums id. might be this is a way to create a new instance. It's not really good but should be feasable.

Hi Fritzek,

I think I tried what you're suggesting - I renamed the .php and found the references to the two html templates and changed those to duplicates as well. This new .php only sought forum (2)

I checked that worked on its own, but when put on the same page as the original .php include, only the first one works. The other doesn't generate any html tags at all.

Unless I got something wrong?
