News in Portal module for vBCMPS
Mod Version: 0.1beta, by M4GN3T

This is for use with the vBadvanced Portal not the vBCMS!

Hi all,

This is my first mod here on vB.org. I'm not really experienced in coding for vBulletin but i did achieve something i wanted to. I created a module which basically loads a news topic out of your forum within the vBCMPS portal. This gives the website a better look instead of everything looking forum-based.

I would also like to say that everyone is free to add or enchance the script, the only thing i ask is upload the one you modded/enchanced here in the topic .

Demo; http://www.ps3-sense.nl/?pageid=nieuws&t=5445

Install:

1) Upload all contents in the upload folder.

2) Go to the admincp of your vBulletin installation and navigate to the vBCMPS tab. Click on 'Add Page' and select Module page.

Settings for page;

Page title: news
Page identifier: news

now save.

3) Now go to the vBCMPS tab again and hit 'Add module', now choose for PHP File Module. Under file to include choose news_in_portal.php

Settings for module;

Module title; Just type something
Module parent; none
Initialize BB Code Parser; yes
Initialize Forum Permissions; yes
Clean file output; yes
Use Module Wrapper Template; no

4) Now place the module on the page you created @ step 2.

5) Type the following url in the browser;

http://www.your_forum.com/?pageid=[Page identifier (step2!)]&t=[Thread number]
