PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting → news generator and frontpage
I've searched the forums and didn't really find an answer. I installed News Generator, and it shows up fine in the admin options. Whenever I click on "generate News", I get: "There are no topics to generate news based on in forum with ID = 21." thoughts?
I also would like a frontpage that is controlled by punbb, does the news generator do that?
All help is appreciated.
it's certainly because you have no message in the forum with id=21
have you got a link of your website?
Moreover, I suggest you have a look at miniportal made by Connorhd
Ludo,
thanks for the reply.
all you guys really make this forum awesome.
my forum: www.officequarterback.com/oqb
id love to have the main page (thats the mini-portal ?)
Where it asks for forum id 21, is that the same as the position?
for example, on your site, you only have one forum which has id=2
Si if you want the newsgenerator to work, you must change AP_News_Generator.php
you have
// The forum from which we'll pull the news bits
$forum_id = 11;
you must put
// The forum from which we'll pull the news bits
$forum_id = 2;
and it will work.
To have the post generated on your front page you must put something like that in the code of your front page:
<?php
include('/forum/plugins/AP_News_Generator/news.html');
?>
The main page of punbb is not released. The miniportal is something different.
Ludo,
one last question for you, your site: pluriservices.net
What did you use for the main page? Hand coded or a mod/plugin?
By the way, it looks great
pluriservices is based on punbb. I modified the miniportal with the help of Connorhd in order to have 3 col.
It took some time but it's not really hard. I'm also just using newsgenerator plugin.
The front page of pluriservices is totally independant and I did not have to mod punbb. I did not modify punbb at all (except parser.php for floating images with code xp's help). So, I won't have any problem each time I'll update punbb. That was what I wanted. I did not want to have to update manually, what people who have a punbb modified have to do.
Ludo,
