indeed, the exact CN version would be helpfull.
But probably you can just skip that step.

Re: comment link redirects to home page unless in pop up/ how to edit the look of pop up page (2 replies, posted in Problem Solving / Help & Support)
I bet that in your CN include code you use a parameter of which you don't have any clue what it does.
Don't use any parameter unless you know what it does.
There's a faq explaining all parameters.

Re: newsletter category (5 replies, posted in Problem Solving / Help & Support)
multiple categories didn't exist when the hack was made
from the other topic
function show_cat_name($cat_id){

Re: RSS feed doesn't work. (1 replies, posted in Problem Solving / Help & Support)
your rss feed has broken characters; usually none ALPHABETIC characters cause this. Using CN utf-8 can prevent this, or using a correct charset (google the word if you don't know it) on your feed.

Re: Transfer Problem (2 replies, posted in Problem Solving / Help & Support)
so you have
path is just another name for directories.
It's used in the same way you link to images in html, only relative paths are accepted though.
if you have a folder wordpress and a folder CN in the smae directory, the path probably would be
../news/
But since we cannot guess the directory structure of your site we cannot assist any further

Re: I Cannot Log In (2 replies, posted in Problem Solving / Help & Support)
it just means there's some error warnings you don't see on your site. 'and you shouldn't see them)
but they do make the login session invalid.
Try looking through the server logs for any warnings/errors mentioned in the stickied common warning error topic.

I wanted to let you know that I'm in the final stages of completing a deal to sell cutephp.com and the CuteNews project.
Hopefully the website and script will continue to exist and see much needed upgrades and improvements, I can't provide much information on any future plans though.The reason I'm selling is because I simply have not enough free time to continue supporting and updating it.
I'll try and answer any question smile.gif

Re: FORUM TROUBLES (8 replies, posted in Script Feedback and Suggestion)
there's not really an issue of not being able to create a new board.
There was one in the past --> cutemod, not many people went to there, why? people didn't really know about it. And not may people read stickied topics.
lKj can do that perfectly aswell. His server has enough bandwith.
For all i care we use some free forum provider. + a decent CN utf-8 section.
It just sounds like overkill to create a support forum for someone else.
When flexer was still boss, we kinda knew we could do such things. But now with the new owners and not knowing who they are, there's an legal issue. --> even my paypal support button (which hardly gets any clicks, which is ok) is illegal in a sense.
All we know: they're Russian, and you don't mess with Russians. They have mafia over there.

It was reported that the reCaptcha which protects this forum doesn't work.
--> you can't register a new account
--> you cannot post urls in your post. A way around that is making your post, next use 'quick edit' to add your urls.
At current we (the support staff) have NO means of contacting the owners of CuteNews. We cannot give an estimate as how long it will last because of that.
We hope you understand.
If the problem isn't fixed soon, i'll see about setting up a temporary alternative way of getting help, like possibly a gmail account. Direct access to you, and a clean oversight for us (the crew).

This will be a temporary measure. I don't feel that support staff should be hang out drying when such problems arise. If the owners can't fix this issue, i see no point advertissing this script and will discontinue my support. (I'm not speaking for all of the support crew)

Re: [HACK] Spam protection in CuteNews UTF-8 (2 replies, posted in Hacks & Tricks / FAQ)
Hack name: Hidden input fields
Description: This hack was based on an article posted here.
It's an attempt to fool spambots into thinking there is no spam protection and giving input fields random obscure names so there isn't a real pattern to input fields names. Visitors will notice nothing about the spam protection; No captchas or anything they need to fill out.
Filou83 updated the instructions for CuteNews UTF-8 (9.0) and higher and made some good changes to it. Smileys work with this hack, which wasn't the case for the original hack.
Auhtor: FUNimations, Filou83
Instructions:
We need editing the shows.inc.php in "cutenews/inc/" directory.
find
$user_query = cute_query_string($QUERY_STRING, array( "comm_start_from","start_from", "archive", "subaction", "id", "ucat"));add above or below
$priv_salt="somestring";CHANGE the word somestring to some sort of securitycode (like sec183459 or sth. like that) you make up. And leave the quotes!
find
$name = trim($name);
$mail = trim($mail);
$id = (int) $id;and replace with
$salt_name = md5($priv_salt.date('z'));
$salt = $_POST[$salt_name];
if(empty($salt))
{
$salt_name = md5($priv_salt.(date('z')-1));
$salt = $_POST[$salt_name];

$template_form = str_replace('{show}', $show, $template_form);
$template_form = str_replace('{hide}', $hide, $template_form);
The following inserts css-definitions and the insert-smileys javascript before the form (version A). If you don't (and won't) use smileys in your comments form, you could use version B instead.
find
echo "<form accept-charset=\"utf-8\" $CN_remember_form method=\"post\" name=\"comment\" id=\"comment\" action=\"\">".$template_form."<div><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"subaction\" value=\"addcomment\" />
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ucat\" value=\"$ucat\" />";replace with version A
echo "\n
<style type=\"text/css\">.".$show."{display:inline;} .".$hide."{display:none;}</style>
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
//<![CDATA[
function insertext(text){
document.getElementById(\"".$true_comment."\").value+=\" \"+ text;
document.getElementById(\"".$true_comment."\").focus();
}
//]]></script>
<noscript>".$say['no_js']."
</noscript>
<form accept-charset=\"utf-8\" $CN_remember_form method=\"post\" name=\"comment\" id=\"comment\" action=\"\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"".$salt_name."\" value=\"".$salt."\" />".$template_form."<div>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"subaction\" value=\"addcomment\" /><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ucat\" value=\"$ucat\" />";or replace with version B for comments form without smileys (smileys will not work!)
echo "\n
<style type=\"text/css\">.".$show."{display:inline;} .".$hide."{display:none;}</style>
<form accept-charset=\"utf-8\" $CN_remember_form method=\"post\" name=\"comment\" id=\"comment\" action=\"\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"".$salt_name."\" value=\"".$salt."\" />".$template_form."<div>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"subaction\" value=\"addcomment\" /><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ucat\" value=\"$ucat\" />";
close shows.inc.php, save changes and upload the modified file.
Next change ALL your templates (the comments form part) like following.
First find (based on the default template)
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add My Comment">and repalce it with
<span class="{hide}"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add My Spam"></span><span class="{show}"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add My Comment"> </span>
Next we are going to replace all input fields:
<input type="text" name="name">to
<span class="{show}"><input type="text" name="{real-input-name}"></span><span class="{hide}"><input type="text" name="{spam-input-name}"></span>
<input type="text" name="mail">to
<span class="{show}"><input type="text" name="{real-input-mail}"></span><span class="{hide}"><input type="text" name="{spam-input-mail}"> </span>
The id-tag also has to be changed because of the changed javascript function:
<textarea cols="40" rows="6" id=commentsbox name="comments"></textarea>to
<span class="{show}"><textarea cols="40" rows="6" id="{real-input-comment}" name="{real-input-comment}"></textarea></span><span class="{hide}"><textarea cols="40" rows="6" id="{spam-input-comment}" name="{spam-input-comment}"></textarea></span>
And save the new template. That is all. Now it may be good for you to understand what the change in the template does. For each field we create a dummy field. The dummy fields will be invisible, so users won't notice them and won't be able to fill anything in. Bots however won't notice them as being invisible, so they will submit values for those fields. When CN detects the dummy fields as being filled in, it'll know it's a bot.
Now what you should know is that around every input field there is a span. You are free to swith the dummy field and the REAL field but don't forget to switch the span aswell so you don't accidently make the dummy fields visible and the rela fields invisible. It's a good idea to do some random ordering with these fields, so we don't have a standard
real dummy, real, dummy, real, dummy
order but you get something like
dummy real, dummy, dummy, real, real
