MOD: News Page
Author: Tony Basallo aka, snaayk
Version: 1.2
Diffulculty: 2
Download: http://www.realmslore.com/files/newspage_MOD.zip
Demo: http://www.realmslore.com
What it does:
This mod will select the topics (only topics) from a given forum and display them on a separate page. To be used as a News section for a homepage or as a dedicated page in itself. Very easy to customize the way it displays if you are a bit familiar with what the code looks like. The variables are set in an include file and everything else is taken care of.
An admin or the poster can edit,delete or make a new post via the link available on the individual post (avoiding going to the forum to accomplish this).
The main page will show x amount of posts. Another page will show everything else not listed on the main page. And yet another page will list all the items that have been archived through the forum. This page will show a list that will link to the post itself, displaying it individually. This will avoid displaying 100 topics on a page or creating a paging system. Only the subject is shown and this will link to the post. I have no demo of this since I deleted my archived posts  while testing.
The only problem I see now is that if there are fewer than the amount of posts you do not want to show on the secondary page it will show nothing. I am working on this, and I might post an update, if i find one

The zip file I downloaded doesn't have the file inc_news.asp included in it.... So I was unable to try this out.

The code quoted is an END IF short....
In the middle of the code you have one
<% end if %> statement.
I think you need two, placement of the second one I'm unsure of.
Looking at the code I can see three IF statements and two END IFs.
Can't test this though I'm at work.

I've made a MOD similar to this myself (see http://www.councilofgrey.com). Assuming your MOD supports it, I find this works best by using the feature to Moderate New Posts for that forum. By doing that anyone can post news, but it doesn't show up on your News page until you accept the submission. But anyone can reply to it. That works out pretty nicely.
Just a suggestion for people who implement this. |

The zip has been updated, I also added that file by itself in case you didnt want to download the entire thing. I had in fact removed an end if by mistake.

I don't have it available for download - since I've not taken the time to make it stand alone. I can however send you the code I use. Feel free to drop me an email, or send me a Instant Message. All my contact info is available on my profile.
Just FYI - I am connected to every IM network 24/7, but I won't see your IM until I get home from work.
