NEWS

Alright people, lets not argue over who deserves it. Matt will pick whomever he deems worthy.

no way they dont know how to be admins we do

That may be what you think em. But they are first in line. Maybe you could pm matt or something and ask him. But i doubt he wouuld give it to us.

Are you talking about the forum or the site?

MAinly the forum but we need another admin for the site too.

The thing is (correct me if I'm wrong Matt) that, the site was made in a sitebuilder called iWeb, and the news is also updated from the sitebuilder. I think what you can do (if Matt sets it up, or gets the geek squad, or the nerd, heard to do it ) is install CuteNews, as I said earlier. It's a blog type thing, that let's multiple people update the news of the site. Matt just needs to upload it to the server, and install it to the homepage (took me about 20-25 mins, but the Nerd Heard could do it faster) and then, anyone matt wants can update the news on the site. Look at where I use CuteNews:

One thing, Will it make the site slow?

I doubt it will, ZN, my site goes fine (but, it doesn't have as many big pics, vids loading every time you open th page
I will tell matt, and you may wanna look an my site to see it work.

I downloaded it but I don't know how to use it on my site. I use synthasite.

I'll hav eto figure it out.

Synthat site may not be compatible. It works best with complex pages, it should work with ehq.

no it downloaded as a folder how do I use it?

You see all those files?? Put EVERYTHING on ur site. Syntha-site may not let u upload php

oh ok. so do I upload them into a text or html?

see, you need to UPLOAD THE WHOLE FOLDER that u downloaded to ur pc.
Then run index.php to install it 2 ur site.

oh ok. I get it! (I think)

how do I run the index thing?

u know what, this is gonna take alot of explaining. I will put together step by step instructions and pm u tomorrow.

*finally, another geek!!!*

it's so fun
eragon, check ur pm.

I decided to post it here too, someone else might want it.:

Here's how to get CuteNews up-and-running on any server/webhost that supports PhP, and uploading files/folders. (most all of them do)

1. download the lates version of CuteNews from http://www.cutephp.com/

2. unzip the file you download, and open up your uploader (ftp client, or browser/hosting site)

3. now, upload all the files/ folders to your server into the same dir as original (like yoursite.com/CuteNews or something) (don't just upload all files into the same dir, use the same dirs on the server as on your pc

4. set the perms/or chmod the folder "CuteNews" on your server/webhost

5. open a new browser w=indows (or tab) and goto: (whateveryoursiteis.whatever)/CuteNews

6. You will be greeted with a screen, ready to install CuteNews on your site! Just click next, and whatever you need to until setup finishes

7. now go back to: (whateveryoursiteis.whatever)/CuteNews and login with the account you should have made

8. Write a test news item (you can delete it later...) and click "options" at the top of the page

9. Click "integration wizard"

10. click "integrate news into your site"

11. leave every option as it is, and click "proceed" or whatever (i'm doing this tut from memory...)

12. Copy and paste the html code into your homepage, or wherever you want the news ( if you use a site builder, be sute to do insert html code or somthing.




THAT"S IT!!!

ONE THING, it may not work on syntha-site, i've not tested it.
