It rocks. Take a look at my front page at
www.tribforcemail.com and see how it pulls out the latest topics from my forum and displays them on the front page.

And with a little more of imagination, this can be use in other stuff too, as for example in this test layout [ http://animedj.com/home ] I'm using the a modified slash mod 3 times at the same time to show top discussions, news, and a commentary for the splash of the week.. so basically with some creativity and programming skillz, one can acomplish a little more than for what it was designed ^^

animedj,
Great MOD. I like the Mod Commander and how it implements changes. I use that and mod_dbsetup for just about everything now.
I am looking at trying to use this as a basis for a quick and easy way to allow only certain users to post news to a home page. Is there some easy way to modify the current code to be able to select items from a specific category only (in which case I'll be able to designate who posts to the home/news page), or should I dive in and start rebuilding this to do what I would need? Just want to check with this MOD's guru before I go getting myself into creating a MOD and really increasing my responsibility level from 0... (hee hee!)
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

yeah.. in the slash.asp there is a variable called strCustomSQL, you just need to add your custom SQL there.. for example, I want to show only post from forum 'news' which forumID is 9, with this I'll replace the current line :
strCustomSQL = " "
with
strCustomSQL = strTablePrefix & "and FORUM.FORUM_ID = 9"
and that would do the trick.

Are there any tricks to getting Slash 2.10 to work with SQL Server? I manually created the rows in the FORUM_MODS table but the mod doesn't appear to be connecting to the DB.
Any ideas?

Can't get the strCustomSQL variable to work correctly... Help? I tried what you wrote (mine happens to by FORUM_ID = 18...)
it is at http://www.warriorweb.com/mcgctrial/. Click on the Mssg. Board graphic to get to the board... The home page is supposed to bring up the slash.asp code...
ARGH!

Ok, so I am a dork and forgot the word "and"... Oopsy!
So now that I got past that part, the part that stumps me now is that it works great on the Admin page, but not at all on my main page. I get the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01c9'
This key is already associated with an element of this collection.
/mcgctrial/forum/mods/slash.asp line 30
Argh! Everytime something goes right, Murphy whacks my computer! Maybe it being up until 3 and 4 o' clock in the morning that is frying my head...
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks!
while not objRec.EOF
objDict.Add objRec.Fields.Item("m_code").Value, objRec.Fields.Item("m_value").Value
objRec.moveNext

Thanks, gimpism. I had been moving the database back and forth so much that I forgot I had changed a few things... Again, that's what I get for frying my brain until 3:00 in the morning!

Hi...
Could someone give a basic explanation on what this mod does and how...
Is it similar to the COntent management mod?
Thanks for your time,
Cheers!
Rob

Hi,
I've looked at this entire thread and at the text file in the zip of the mod, and I cannot find any information on exactly HOW this mod works... I have a small idea of what it does, but not how it does it -- can anyone help with a brief description?
I've been looking at the slash_admin.asp page (I use SQL 7) Should I set up the DB in advance of running the slash_admin.asp page (I don't use the mod commander) or do I do it after?
Finally, I'm using a modifed version of sr2 -- any "gotchas"? (I know about the cookies)
Cheers!
Rob
