Hello! I know some people wanted a system like this so I decided to make one. This mod will allow you to post news to your users - you can create, edit and delete news. Using javascript, it has also a simple pagination system that will show a certain amount of news per page. Users can comment on each news post if you allow comments. News can be posted or saved as drafts to be edited later, admins can see drafts on the site but normal users can't. You can control users' comments: edit, delete and allow/disallow.
IMPORTANT:
If you have your site installed in a subfolder or if you changed page links, you might need to change some of the URLs used in the code. Please address to this post.
IMPORTANT:
It's not possible to send PM's to all users (selecting that option does nothing) about the updates yet!
IMPORTANT:
At the bottom of the post, there's a .rar you can download with the 4 new files (so you won't need to create the files yourself)
Part 0: The looks
After adding this, you should get something like this:
All news
Showing a news and its comments
Showing a specific news that doesn't allow comments
And the acp:
Control all news
Create news ones
Part 1: The database
News table and
Newscomments table
Part 2: The objects
Go to your file manager now and let's start coding!
Inside the classes folder, create a file named class_news.php and add this content:
In the same folder, create a class_newscomments.php file with these contents:
Part 3: Displaying news on your site!
Now go to the main folder (where the files like account.php and some folders like admincp and classes are) and create the news.php file with these contents:
Next, in the folder view, create newsview.php with these contents:
With this code, it will display two news per page. Change these values to change it to whatever you want (in the same file):
Click here
Now you will be able to access [yoursite]/news page and see that there aren't any news there. (Don't forget to add a /news link to your site! I added mine under Home).
Part 4: The AdminCP
Now let's add the adminCP pages so you can control all news and comments.
Inside the lang folder, there's an admincp folder. Create a lang_news.php file with these contents:
Inside the admincp folder create a news.php file with these contents:
Now inside the folder admincp/view create a file newsview.php with these contents:
And so you can add the admincp/news link to your site, go to the file class_adminsidebar.php in the folder classes and find this:
Add this after that piece of code:
Part 5: The CSS
If you just added started adding news you will see that the news won't display like what the pictures show. I modified the CSS in order to look like that.
If you are using the main theme, go to templates/main/media/style-city.css and add this at the bottom:
If you aren't using the main theme, Add that to the css of whatever theme you are using. Right click the page to see the HTML and check what each class does what.
----------------
Please warn me of any bugs you find. I tested it and it should be working properly, so please warn me if you find something that wasn't supposed to happen.
IMPORTANT:
If you have your site installed in a subfolder or if you changed page links, you might need to change some of the URLs used in the code. Please address to this post.

Part 0: The looks
After adding this, you should get something like this:
All news
Showing a news and its comments
Showing a specific news that doesn't allow comments
And the acp:
Control all news
Create news ones
Part 1: The database
- The first step to make this work is create two tables on your website's database. For this go to phpMyAdmin, select your database and wait for everything to load on the left.
- Scroll down and you will see "Create table". You will be creating two tables: news and newscomments (with whatever prefix your database has)
- In this page, create 7 columns for the news and 5 for the newscomments (click Add columns -> Execute, to add more lines) with the exact info you will see on the images linked below (it's in portuguese, but the order should be the same) - be careful with the names!! And make sure the ID is set to AUTO_INCREMENT (A_I).
- After this, your two tables should show up on the left
News table and
Newscomments table
Part 2: The objects
Go to your file manager now and let's start coding!
Inside the classes folder, create a file named class_news.php and add this content:
PHP:

public function getCommentNumber(){
$count = $this->comments->rowCount();

?>In the same folder, create a class_newscomments.php file with these contents:

?>And so you can add the admincp/news link to your site, go to the file class_adminsidebar.php in the folder classes and find this:
PHP:
$components->add(new Division(new Comment("Images", FALSE)));
$image = new Division;
$image->add(new Link("admincp/image/upload", "Upload Images"));
$image->add(new Link("admincp/image/delete", "Erase Images"));
$image->add(new Link("admincp/image/settings", "Adoptable Signature Image/GD Settings"));
$components->add($image);Add this after that piece of code:
PHP:
$components->add(new Division(new Comment("News", FALSE)));
$news = new Division;
$news->add(new Link("admincp/news", "Manage News and Comments"));
$news->add(new Link("admincp/news/create", "Create News"));
$components->add($news);Part 5: The CSS
If you just added started adding news you will see that the news won't display like what the pictures show. I modified the CSS in order to look like that.
If you are using the main theme, go to templates/main/media/style-city.css and add this at the bottom:
PHP:
.news fieldset{
color:black;
background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,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);

}If you aren't using the main theme, Add that to the css of whatever theme you are using. Right click the page to see the HTML and check what each class does what.

Please warn me of any bugs you find. I tested it and it should be working properly, so please warn me if you find something that wasn't supposed to happen.
