Get News On Homepage

what do i use to get news from my ipb on my home page?

Enable IPDynamicLite in the ACP.

Ahhhh...this problem...i remember it took such a long time to figure it out, and no one on ipb community forums was of any help grrrrrrrrrr. Hold on, while i look at my config.

Well, A-S uses VirtualNews for the news... pretty good

yeah i looked at virtual news but i would prefer somthing free,

P.S. How come my ipb skin works on windows but not on mac?

k, heres what u do (from memory) Make a forum called whatever u want in whatever category u want, click that forum, and the url should be something like:

http://bla.blahbla.com/forums/index.php?show"8"

Err something like that. Don't matter what it says except for the number at the very end, the number could be from 1-100000000. Anyway, go to admin control panel, access the ip dynamic lite menu, enable, and there should be an option as to where you're gonna take the news from, in that bar, type in "whatever ur number from before was"

Now, when you downloaded ipb, there was a folder called extras i think? Search around for an ipb folder. There should be an index.php file. Open it up in notepad and edit the 2 lines that it tells u to edit: The name of the file (if u don't change the file name, its index.php so don't change that), and where the forums are located. If they're located in /Forums Folder then u type in

./Forums

if they're locaed in /forums then u type:

./forums

Lowercase and Captitals do make a difference. Make sure ipb is enabled and ur new index.php should work.
