Hi,
I'm looking for a contribution like a News box with admin.
Does anyone can point me out one?

Thanks

Have you checked out Newsdesk? I've never used it but sounds like it might be what you're looking for.

Thanks Acheron.
Yes, i tried Newsdesk.
I think it is too complicated for what i want. It could work also as a kind of guestbook.

Well, how ghetto do you want it?

Run the SQL ..

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('555', 'News Snippet', 'NEWS_SNIPPET', 'Some news', 'You can fit 255 characters here', 1, 99, '2004-07-09 11:45:52', '2004-07-09 11:45:52', NULL, NULL);

Create a new PHP file called news.php and put it in includes/boxes/:

<?php
/*
  $Id: news.php,v 0.01 Ghetto Beta 2004/07/10 10:31:05 doh Exp $

?>
<!-- news //-->
          <tr>
            <td>
<?php
  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 'News');

  new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => NEWS_SNIPPET);

  new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
            </td>
          </tr>
<!-- news //-->

Add the includes/requires to whichever column and you're done. Now you can add 255 characters worth of news in admin. lol

It seems you're a lot ahead of me
I have to look at this code and try something with it.
Thanks
