I kind of created a mod during my spare time over the past few weeks. This one display news from a specific forum that I choose.
I know a few exist but I'm not sure of their functionality. There's a preview below and I package this up if anyone is interested.

FYI, you cannot post news in the news forum because moderation is turned on. Well you can post, but doesn't mean it will get approved.
Download: http://www.twistingshadows.com/news.rar
Features:
Allows you to use the Forums post functions to create your news articles.
Displays comments which are actually replies from the topic.
Displays your avatar.
Displays your name with link to profile. Just a collection of posts routed to another page.
Displays the top 5 articles. Can switch to whichever or how many you want easily.< |

Do you by any chance have the capability to create the mod "rar" file in a "zip" format?
Some time ago I had an unrar utility, but can't seem to find it now.
If you cannot make a zip file, it is ok.
I will search the web. I know I saw a free one someplace.
Thanks.

I'm guessing that is on my forum. That is either Mike or Prodeurs upload mod. My members know the limit, I'm working on my own upload mod so I can extend it vidoes and their own gallery.
Well here's the package, I quickly did it soooo let me know if something isn't right.

Just download it, only two files. Readme.Html and News.asp. Just follow the instructions and you should be set.
Only two lines to change then drop the file in your forum and hopefully all is well.
Not tested on a SQL Server environment, but I ensure it should work.

Dummy me. I tried posting a photo in the news forum and got this message:
Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
Operation not Allowed
/forum/outputFile.asp, line 13
Also, in the upload screen, warn the user that large files will take a long time to upload, and you might want to suggest that they resize the image to smaller size if they can.< |

Oh, I need to start subscibing to my own topics. Sorry for the wait.
I will get this to you today.
Basically it is just another page that you just drop in your forum directory. Then you just specify which forum you want to pull from, thats it. You can also apply a link in your forum navigation to get to it.
Like I said, I'll package this up and post it soon. I have class atm in 15 minutes.< |

Zuel, nice way you did this. Pretty much the same way as I did with oxle.com.  < |

search for the simple slash mod to have it like zuel posted, to have a forum or category for news you could try creating a category and or forum called "news"?< |

Very nice job! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! So, is it possible that instead of the whole forum be news, just have one forum category be news? How difficult would this one be to implement? It would be very cool if you could package with instructions, I would appreciate this tons!< |
