Forum News hack
by Justin J. "JJR512" Rebbert

This hack adds news headlines to the top of a forum. The headlines come from an XML source. The
headlines are links to the articles. Through the admin cp, add or modify forums system, you can
select from a list of sources (or select no news for that forum). There is also a master on/off
switch for the entire feature, and you can also select how many headlines will appear.

Support for this hack will be provided only within the vbulletin.org forums. Please go to this
thread: http://www.drizware.com. This service is provided free-of-charge only to non-
commercial, non-profit, educational, or personal/hobby sites, and may not be used on any for-
profit site. If you operate a for-profit site, you must contact Moreover.com to discuss
purchasing the rights to the service.
