And I thought all my problems were solved after I figured out the Custom Pages Plugin...LOL

At least the Site News plugin is much easier. However, I got tripped up with the code I am supposed to insert in my homepage.

Is there anything wrong with this code (is there anything missing?):

PHP Code:

<?php

define("IN_MYBB", 1);
define("KILL_GLOBALS", 1);
define("NO_ONLINE", 1);

$directory_to_forum = "asianadventures.org/forum/index.php"; 

require dirname(__FILE__)."/".$directory_to_forum."/global.php";

$plugins->run_hooks("site_news_plugin_run");

?>

This is what shows up on my home page:

Code:

run_hooks("site_news_plugin_run"); ?>

Please let me know what I need to correct. Thanks a lot people!

First I can tell

PHP Code:

$directory_to_forum 

is wrong. It should be a path like forum if I'm not mistaken. Also are you adding the above code to a page that ends in .html? Because the page must have the extension .php...

Thanks Nickman! I got it to work, finally (you can check it out - click the link on my signature).

I have another question though:

Where do I place the CSS code to format the site news area? Am I supposed to place it within the PHP code? and if so are there any vital tags I need to include?

Also, is there a way to automate this plugin? So for example, if I wanted it to automatically display the most current thread on my homepage, how can this be done, if possible?

Thanks again!

I'd think you could just put it in global.css.. however I've never used the plugin so I'm not entirely sure.

No offense Dalton, is there anyone that can help me with this?

Isn't there a CSS style in Templates & Themes --> *select theme* ?

None that I could see. This is a plugin as you probably known.
