Well, I tried and failed :cfrown: I think your way would work but I can't make sense of putting it together... I have no idea what to put or where. I understand that you need to edit the database but I have no idea what to write into the code to update each field (I am a very novice coder....) I have been trying for a while now but I can't seem to get it right.. :mii: I have even been looking at other files from the script to see if there is similar coding that I could use and there probably is but I can't make sense from it.. ^_^''

...could you please help me when you have some spare moments? Thank you... >.<

~Parayna

I will post it tomorrow asap! I'm sorry, I was going to code it after you answered, but it's the last week of the semester and I have 4 projects to deliver in a few days xD

Thank you! It's fine, to be honest I can't wait until I have learnt coding more and can code things myself XD I know it's a matter of time but I really want to be able to do things like this myself instead of relying on other people who may or may not be busy >.< But thanks all the same! XD

~Parayna

Sorry for the late

Adding a "send message to all users" option:

1. Go to your database, and select your news table.
2. At the top, if you are using phpMyAdmin, select to edit the table's structure.
3. At the bottom you will see an "Add (1) columns..." click execute
4. Create a new columns like this:
   • Name: allowmessage
   • Type: varchar
   • Size: 3
   • Predefined: As defined -> "no"
   • Select "Null" checkbox
5. Go to your class_news.php file and change it to this: (new stuff is commented with "NEW!")

Thank you IntoRain ^_^

No problem! ^^

I really love your news script. Do you mind if I built on top of it?
I want to add more to it, like the ability to report comments for moderation.

I also have one concern, since the pagination just hides the other news, wouldn't it make the page heavy to load if you have like 100 news with images in each once? Or is it set to load when it's clicked. I don't know much about jQuery.

I also want to addon an archive system. So when a piece of news is a certain age, it will go into the archive, and can no longer be commented.

I also want to add a captcha to help prevent spam.

Nah, paginated stuff isn't even pulled to load. Your adopts page is also paginated, past 10 pets or so. I can confirm by right clicking to inspect the source that pets past that number aren't even loaded, so, I assume the same for the news?

I hope so. I can't tell on my local server @.@ Because it loads fast.

Edit: Just a heads up, html can be submitted to the comment form. I tested to see if PHP works, but I couldn't get it to.
This should be roughly tested to make sure no one can put malicious code. @.@
