Hey does anyone know how to display the latest news published on cutenews in a box and so it auto-updates, for example www.clubhabbo.net?

Yep, just use an iframe and add a refresh code at the bottom of /cutenews/show_news.php

Refresh code:

You can edit the 120 to whatever you like, but it means it refreshes every 120 seconds (recommended - don't want to use up bandwith when you could be saving it and you're not going to be having articles posted every minute)


<META HTTP-EQUIV='Refresh' CONTENT='120; URL=show_news.php'>

Iframe code:

(Edit width/height)


<iframe src="/cutenews/show_news.php" name="news" width="200" height="120" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Okay, IFRAMES are so OUT-dated.
I have an ajax solution to help you!
edit: you have to find and download prototype.js and you can get effects from http://simplehabbo.net/effects.js
ADD THIS TO <HEAD> section >;]

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="proto.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="effects.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">




function GetXmlHttpObject( )

{



var xmlHttp = null;



try

{



xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();



}



catch( e )

{



try

{



xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject( "Msxml2.XMLHTTP" );



}



catch( e )

{



xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject( "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" );



}



}



return xmlHttp;



}



function GetNews()

{



xmlHttp = GetXmlHttpObject();



if( xmlHttp == null )

{



alert ( "Browser does not support HTTP Request" )



return;



}



var url = "path/to/cutenews/show_news.php";



xmlHttp.open( "GET", url, true );



xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function( )

{



if ( xmlHttp.readyState == 4 )

{



if ( xmlHttp.status == 200 )

{



document.getElementById( "news" ).innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText;



}



}



};



xmlHttp.send( null );



}



GetStats();



setInterval( "GetStats()", 30000 );
</script>
</head>


Change var url to ur cutenews/show news.php
You'll have to create a div called "news" have it empty where you would like the headlines to be shown :)
Change the 30000 in setInterval( "GetNews()", 30000 ); a period of time in which you want it to change.

Now when you start the page, you wanna get the headlines right on page load so we ddo:

<body onLoad="GetNews();">ur done!

Put

<?php include('pathtocutenews/show_news.php'); ?>
where the iframes would be.
I think that's right. I never know which type of quotes to use.
The extension of the page has to be .php, eg index.php not index.html.
