News Generator?

hmm?i've installed it but this is what I get

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to fetch topic list.

I am trying to generate news from the general discussion forum. I want this news to be the first thing you see on the website.

Any ideas?

Enable DEBUG mode and try again. Then post the full error message.

Well, it basically means that the forum with ID 18 is empty.

viewforum is where you should be looking, you were looking at a topic

You include that file in the front page of the site in some way

Well, it's up to you to integrate it, all the news generator does is give you the HTML file

Well, adding it is a simple

include forum/plugins/AP_News_Generator/news.html

(assuming you're including from http://www.stephenkelman.co.uk/index.php or something)
The issue is styling it I believe

I pretty much literally just gave you the code

Assuming the page is www.mysite.com/index.php and your forum is at www.mysite.com/forum/, you would put the following code somewhere in your index.php (put it where you want to output the HTML)

include 'forum/plugins/AP_News_Generator/news.html';

The only thing to do then is style the output using CSS

its a nice plugin. but is there any auto generate feature? do i have to generate manually each time i post a new topic??
