Guests can add news

[eberswine]

This is what I have so far... it is sort of working.. but how do I select the right folder for the actual image??

Code: Select all

<?php
//Installation:
//Open inc/show.news.php and change this:
//$output = str_replace('{author}', $user_name[$row['author']], $output);
//to this:
//$output = str_replace('{author}', (isset($user_name[$row['author']]) ? $user_name[$row['author']] : $row['author']) , $output);

//Config maximum unapproved
$max_unapproved = 50;
///////////////////////////
//Config XFields
$show_xfields = false;
///////////////////////////
//Config categories
$config_categories = '1,2,3';
///////////////////////////
//Config captcha
$use_captcha = false; //true or false
$path_to_captcha = './plugins/captcha/';
//Config bbcode
$bbcode = true;

if($use_captcha){
   @include $path_to_captcha.'php-captcha.inc.php';
}

When i include guest.php like this...

Code: Select all

<?php
     echo '<div id="ajaxnews">';   
if ($do == 'register')
{
   echo regForm('default');
} elseif ($category == 'genel'){
   include $cutepath.'/genel.php';
} elseif ($category == 'kpss-dersler'){
   include $cutepath.'/kpss-dersler.php';
} elseif ($category == 'genel-ingilizce'){
   include $cutepath.'/genel-ingilizce.php';
} elseif ($category == 'sbs-dersleri'){
   include $cutepath.'/sbs-dersler.php';
} elseif ($category == 'siirler'){
   include $cutepath.'/siirler.php';

} elseif($do == 'chat')
{
      include $cutepath.'/chat.php';
}
elseif($do == 'add-post')
{
      include $cutepath.'/guest.php';
}
else {
         $number         = 12;
         $category      = '12, 31, 35,42 ,43, 52';
         $template      = 'fero';
         include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
}

echo '</div>';
?>




it gives an error of ....

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare comments_to_approve() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/okuogren.com/httpdocs/plugins/approve-comments.php:15) in /var/www/vhosts/okuogren.com/httpdocs/plugins/approve-comments.php on line 28

also gives error with shotTitle, latestcomments and etc.

You can check heree... http://www.okuogren.com/guest.php it works like that but i couldnt include it in the content section (middle of the page).

I am okay with captcha problem... it workss..

why is that?

It is something regareding the plugin "comments to approve". Did you try to disable it and see if you are getting the same error again?

The other important thing is it dose not mail the news posts to admin. while it is too necessary to recieve an email from guest posters when the item posted.
