Hello!

The notice error is actually an error generated by PHP to avoid sloppy programming. That is not to suggest the programming of the script is sloppy (although it needs some rewriting), but rather that your PHP configuration is set to catch all errors & notices. You can either change this in the php.ini file or you can open up the news.php file of the script, and find the following:


switch($_GET['page'])


And replace it with


switch((!empty($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : "main"))


As for your other error, the mysql one, check to see:
1. Your database information is correct.
2. You actually have something posted in the forum you are pulling news from.

now when i try to go on the templates i just get a blank page :(

i dont know much about the mysql but i have 2 databases....one called forum1 which is for phpbb and the other called mysql which im not quite sure what its for <_< i have tried both but it doesnt seem to change anything :unsure: also when i go to the admin page i get some errors at the top....**Notice: Undefined index: username in d:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\forum-news\admin\index.php on line 1043

Notice: Undefined property: MenuData in d:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\forum-news\admin\admin_template.php on line 223

Notice: Undefined index: url in d:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\forum-news\admin\admin_template.php on line 226**

but i opened up these and went to the line it said but im not sure if i should change anything??

and now on the homepage which i want the news to be on it says **Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in d:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\forum-news\data\classes\phpbb-v2.php on line 93

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in d:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\forum-news\data\classes\phpbb-v2.php on line 208

All of those notice errors are due to your PHP settings being turned up way to high. Not exactly sure how easyphp works, so I can't really advise you as how to change it. I can tell you that in a normal php install there is a php.ini file somewhere on your computer. You can find this file (on windows it is usually in the C:\windows folder), open it, and locate:
error_reporting = E_ALL
or something similar to that in the php.ini file. Change it to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE


As for your mysql errors, you should configure the forum news script with the correct database information that you used when you installed PHPBB. You can probably find this information in some phpBB configuration file as well.
