This hook will add a new block to the existing side bar, showing the latest news from the forum you specified in the Admin CP.

Installation is simple, just download this XML file and import it via your Admin Control Panel, IP.Board will do the rest!

I have found a bug... When banned member has ability to see forum, I get an error from this hook.

Please can you allow the use of multiple forums for the news!

Is there version for 3.1?

I really liked this hook, but I had to disable it because for some reason it causes a fatal PHP error in Chrome and IE. Firefox has no problems though.

Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in hooks/boardIndexLatestNews_1e2fb0078880e2ad1c562ebe3fb0c73c.php on line 42

It seems to be caused when a user doesn't have permission to view the board where the news is being drawn from. So, if you have guest viewing of that board or your forum disabled, any guest accessing your forum will be greeted by that nice PHP error including private info like the path. =P

m4rtin over at invisionmodding posted a solution back in February 2010:

Open ./hooks/boardIndexLatestNews_xxxx.php

Find:

/* Grab last X data */

		if ( ! $forumData['can_view_others'] )

		{

			continue;

		}


		if ( ! $this->registry->permissions->check( 'read', $forumData ) )

		{

			continue;

		}

Replace with:

/* Grab last X data */

		if ( ! $forumData['can_view_others'] )

		{

			return;

		}


		if ( ! $this->registry->permissions->check( 'read', $forumData ) )

		{

			return;

		}

Save and upload.

Does this work with 3.3.0 ?
