hi i was give the link to this script by a friend and it is a great script when you see it running.

however i cant get mine to work. its my first time ever using a script like this so im not too sure.

the problem is that when i put the code it gives me into the webpage the news doesnt appear. the code i am given is this.

<?php include_once("/home2/franny/public_html/forum-news/news.php");
$forum_obj = new EP_Dev_Forum_News();
$forum_obj->display_News("", "1", "0", "0"); ?>

what i get on my main page is this

display_News("", "1", "0", "0"); ?>

This script requires PHP. What is the filename of the page you are putting this code on? Make sure it ends in .php (as opposed to .html for example).

Try putting this in somewhere:

<?php echo "HELLO THERE!"; ?>

If the above prints out HELLO THERE! then your php is working fine. In that case, put the following into a file named phpinfo.php and post the url to it here:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

its called index.php

2 secs and ill do the other stuff

that php echo thing doesnt work. i dunno. im using a thing called "siteframe"

<_<

??

[Patrick]

Exactly, ??.

I would guess that it is the xml that your site is using. I really can't tell you since you are using a third party script.

[deko]

ok cool.

[deko]

ok i have had a bit of a break through. i uninstalled that siteframe thing and am just using a normal php page. now i get this though

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home2/franny/public_html/forum-news/classes/mysql.php on line 22
There was an error connecting to mysql with information given.

Did you install the program?

You can't simply upload and expect it to work. That is showing that your forum database information is incorrect. Login to the control panel and click Forum Settings. Change the information to reflect your forum's database settings.

If you do not know your forum's database settings, they can usually be found within some config file in your forum's folder.
