[Jochum Meester]

So just to check; no changes to the mysql database? We can use the one from 1.5.31?

[David]

yes you don't need to change someting in the db  :cool:

[philmoz]

Just a note, about function extra($styleit = 0, $classname = '', $idname= '')
4. function extra()
    - completely recoded;
    - parametrized;
    - added advanced styling option;
    - index.php call can stay intact (in order to achieve backward template compatibility);

Usage:- If you choose to use the parameters, only then will you be required to enter 3 bits of information into the function.

First :- $styleit is the setting of whether you want extra() wrapped in

or not.
1 means do it, anything else means not to.

Second :- $classname is the class to apply to the

. This must be in quotes. If no class is to be used, empty quotes must be entered.

Third :- $idname is the id to apply to the

.This must be in quotes. If no id is to be used, empty quotes must be entered.

Examples.
(Note :- '' is two single quotes.)

1,'box','bruce'); ?>

Means :- wrap output of extra() in

. Use class="box". Use id="bruce".
You would then define the class and id in your style sheet.

1,'box',''); ?>

Means :-  wrap output of extra() in

. Use class="box". Don't use an id.
You would then define the class in your style sheet.

1,'','bruce'); ?>

Means :-  wrap output of extra() in

. Don't use a class. Use id="bruce".
You would then define the id in your style sheet.

Means :- don't wrap output of extra() using internal parameters. If this is chosen, then there is no difference in functionality between 1.5 and 1.6 versions of this function.

Of all the things I have lost, it is my mind that I miss the most.

Exactly, no database changes. Only a minor change to function calls in index.php. The difference is <?php rss_links(); ?>, if I have remember it well.

[Sasha]

how can i use new rss function in 1.5.31?Just copy and past in snews core file or...?

There's a little more involved than simply plugging in the new function... It's called a little differently in startup() for one. My advise is to upgrade. If your 1.5.31 is heavily modded, I feel your pain. I still haven't upgraded my site because I dread trying to make everything work with 1.6

[Sasha]

yes i got some extra code nothing much but.....

Try reset your username/password.

In settings table, finda username and password and change to
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6

Hope help  you

[Adder]

I dead that allready,  the same error ....

[jlhaslip]

the above code should be added/altered in the Database using phpMyAdmin (or similar) to create a user=test and pass=test, just like the default sNews 1.6.
After you have made the change, use test/test as the admin log-in.

What version of sNews are you running?

[Adder]

I had 1.5 version, i want to upgrate to 1.6 .

Before i start posting here i dead that : I overwrite the snews.php file and wen i had the error i changed in mysql the user in test and the password in 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6 ,
