Cutenews templates?

[Excellent]

Hey now I suck hard at anything to do with cutenews, was wondering how you make the templates? Is it just a simple .css file that you upload to /data/ folder and select that template in options?

Would be really helpful if someone has maybe a link or the knowledge on how to do these, thankyou

in the page you put your include for cutenews on put;

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="lolol.css" />

Thankyou ever so much is there any code I need to put in for the headlines and where the actual news should be?

Basically all I want is a simple css box holding the content, headline above the box, thats all.

For the template use something like this;

<div class="top">{title}</div>
<div class="content">
{full-story}
<br>
<i>Writen by {name}</i>
</div>

(you may need to change some of that)

Then in the .css file put:

.top {
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 0px;
text-align: center;
}
.content {
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

If you are the admin on your cutenews panel, go to Options > Customize templates

Something like that, and you will get up all the codey type stuff you need, the title etc.

Right this could be due to my total stupidness but this is what I have done..

<?php
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="test.css">
$number=5;
$category=1;
$start_from=1;
include("/home/site/public_html/cutenews/show_news.php");
?>

I understand there is html in the php but I followed what you said, I have also added the css into the default template but I get this error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/site/public_html/index.php on line 116

<?php
print("<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"all\" href=\"test.css\">");
$number=5;
$category=1;
$start_from=1;
include("/home/site/public_html/cutenews/show_news.php");

You can't just enter code anywhere in PHP - if your going to call me crap at php, learn the syntax yourself.. Because my code is corrected, and the slashes added.

Bless you peasant but as I know nothing about cutenews and only followed chris's instructions you can hardly say I don't know php..

Also, you should use echo, not print.. echo is around 10-20% faster than print dear
