How do you display which category a news item was posted in? Like {category} or [category]?? I really want this but I can't find it. If you anyone knows what I can add to the script to get this or if it's already available but I'm totally missing it that'll be cool :)
Hi Matt, nice name. Lol.
I've been wondering the same thing myself, among other questions.
To what I've seen after trying out a few options, I don't think there is such a thing in the news system.
I would assume it wouldn't be the most difficult of things to add into the system from your end, but I don't have the time to figure it out at the moment.
Would be nice if there was, I'll agree.
Thought I'd at least give you a reply to your question :).

Hi Matt,
Unfortunately there is no set date for the next realease as I've quite a few other things going on at the moment so I've had to put N-13 News on hold for a while.
As for displaying the category that shouldn't be that difficult to do, infact I'll update this post later on today with some modifications you can do to add that functionality.

Hey Matt,
if you open 'index.php' around line 477~ you should see the following code
Code:
$template2 = $template;
$template2 = str_replace("{title}",$row[title],$template2);
$usehtml = getresult("SELECT $newsaccess.usehtml FROM $newsusers LEFT JOIN $newsaccess ON $newsusers.access = $newsaccess.uid WHERE $newsusers.uid = '$row[author]'");
directly below that if you add the following code
Code:
if($row['catid'] !== "0"){
$catname = getresult("SELECT name FROM $newscats WHERE id = '$row[catid]'");
$template2 = str_replace("{category}",$catname,$template2);
}else{
$template2 = str_replace("{category}","",$template2);
}
then all you need to do is edit the template you're currently using and add {category} somewhere into it, this 'should' work.
I've added the ability to select Multiple categories in the next version of the script (can see that here). So using the {category} tag will probably be changed in the next version.
