Mod Name: Front page news Mod
Version: v.01
Tested on: 3.3.05 only should work with any 3.3.x forums though
Databases: Only tested on MySQL v3.23.40NT
Creator Name: Wesley Brown
Creator Email: Burthold@yahoo.com
Download at: www.wesworld.net/mods/newsmod.zip

I wrote this to just display simple news on the front page.
Run the DBS or execute this query against your forums database.
You may need to change the table name to reflect your table name
struct you should leave the news part of the table alone.
This does not effect any other table in your database.
create table forum_news (n_text varchar(250), n_date datetime, member_id int)
Just copy these files into your forums directory insert into
default.asp around line 43
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_news_body.asp" -->
after
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_top.asp" -->
Insert this into admin_home.asp
<LI><a href="admin_newspost.asp">Add News</a></LI>
around line 70 where you will find this:
<LI><a href="admin_config_badwords.asp">Bad Word Feature Configuration</a></LI>
Also, in this archive is a copy of HuwR's (Huw Reddick) admin_mod_dbsetup.asp
YOU DO NOT NEED TO COPY THIS FILE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!!!!!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO COPY THIS FILE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!!!!!
Very minor change for MySQL support
Check around line number 228
strSql = "CREATE TABLE " & TablePrefix & strTableName & "( "
Added a space at &" ( " to make it comliant with MySQL CREATE TABLE spec
I am providing this mod without any real support. I wrote it quick and dirty to give me quick news on the front page.

I'll check into it I only run mysql but I did make a provision for MS-SQL I assumed that it would work with access if it works with MS-SQL.

Just cut and paste the code I put up into your inc_functions.asp or download the updated zip file and cut and past it out of there :)

It's working now but the problem is that when you write a long message
it's twisting the forum.because it's only on one line.
