ok i have install phpbuke. it went by good without any problems. now i want to do some edditing of the News Module. i have open up the index.php file that is found in the News Module of phpnuke.

what to do is when you click on a topic, let say Minnesota. you click on that and it take you to the Minnesota Topic Index. then in the Minnesota topic Index, there is a Search box with a link that take you to the home page of your site and a link that take you to the topic index page of your site.

what i want to do is take out both of those links leaving the search box in there, then undernet that search box. i want to be able to add in my own links that take you to Team Rosters, Schedule and etc for WCHA Hockey. i have try so many things to this minute and none of what i try have work. can someone help me out.

Get Imagination-Nuke has FNA 3.0 included (Forum News Advanced). Can post news from forums instead of submit news. Better control of news.

Bill, that's not the correct spot.
Try this:

step 1: open themes/YOUR-THEME/theme.php
step 2: find themeindex() function in which your news is rendered by phpnuke news module.
step 3: in the function, you can find $more ... variable. Around the $more variable (if you have old themes, it locates in .html file within the same directory).

That's it.
More technical hint is as follows:
To render your news, phpnuke wires your news in modules/News/index.php where themeindex() function defined in theme.php is called: (find themeindex() funtion in news/index.php).

I think, I gave you enough info and hints which you could catch up with.

Good Luck.

ok i will give that a try Xyberian.

another question, is there anyway for each topic index. let say Minnesota have it own links, like a link take you to a Minnesota Rosters, then let say Wisconsin have it own link.

you know what i mean.
