MyBB Community Forums

I followed the instructions in the read me, but I get this on the page where I want the recent posts displayed

run_hooks("site_news_plugin_run"); ?>

Add a <? in front of it.

<?$plugins->run_hooks("site_news_plugin_run");

Change that to:

$plugins->run_hooks("site_news_plugin_run");

I just looked at your site and looking at the code above you need to save the page as index.php not index.html.

Any page that contains php scripts <?php ?> tags needs to be saved as a php file not a html file.

I tried both of these things, but it still doesn't work. I also tried changing it to index.php, and it still didn't work, and also when I uploaded it to my server it gave me an error:

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './inc/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /homepages/19/d230750232/htdocs/forums/global.php on line 13

OK hascet i think i can see your problems

the code for the plugin script is wrong and should read as shown below

			    <?php

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

// The Directory to the forum you are using this on. 
// You do not need a beggining or trailing slash
$directory_to_forum = "forums"; 

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

$plugins->run_hooks("site_news_plugin_run");

?>

remember to save the file as index.php for the server to run your scripts.

Cheers Fishntassie...
