Does anyone know where I can find a CGI or any other script that's like a newsboard but except it posts the stuff directly on the page. Sort of like an updater on which you update with a script.

PLS HELP

Hi,

An fast and easy way to accomplish what you are looking for is to use server side includes which will not require any scripting.

If you have not messed with server side includes before, you create a normal html page that only contains the information that you want to be displayed in a certain spot on a web page. You then place an ssi tag where you want the content in your web page that calls the page you created with the content...for example...

Create a file called... news.html

in this file you can put any html that you want or anything else just like a web page...but this page will not have any <html><head><body> tags. just your output that you want.

then, in your page (say index.html) you find the place you want to have the content in news.html show up...then place a tag...
<!--#include virtual="./news.html" -->
there...

this tag will suck in the content in news.html and display it in index.html

note: if ssi is enabled on your server you may have to play with the extensions you use in place of index.html , you might have index.shtml or index.stm

it depends on what extension your server will parse for...

hope this helps...there are also server side include tutorials on the net...just search

Thanx, but that's not what I was looking for. I am familiar with SSI and I use it in my pages. What I was looking for was a script so that multiple users can submit news.

I have found that. It's calles <a href="http://amphibian.hypermart.net/newspro/">NewsPro</a>, but I can't seem to get it to work on Hypermart. Can anyone please help me install it, I would really appreciate it.
