All I did was hack the MPN index.php a little to get this working in place of the current index.php. Just unzip it into your main PN directory and PLEASE read the install document in the admin modules section so that you get an idea on some options since it is an alternative News module.
This module does conform to the .64 way of doing modules so it should be considered offical. I also uploaded this to mods.postnuke.com.

I think that the theme model has got to change so that you can use a dev tool like Dreamweaver or GoLive to create an html file that has >?php> (sorry about the brackets, the text sanitizer is killing me here) scripts in it so that dynamic content comes through.
Since I'm still very new to the nuke scene and have done only some initial hacks and porting of modules, it seems like this task would not be that daunting especially since the index.php system has been modularized in .64. Am I wrong about this?
It should be as simple as creating a html template and putting in ">?php leftblock($leftuppercornerimg, $thbgdimg, $thbgdcolor, $rightuppercornerimg, $tblbgdimg, $tblbgdcolor, $title) ?>". If you don't fill in one of the parameters, the css kicks in.
I'm probably forgetting something here but, this should be applicable to all the blocks whereby you specify the fill information and the backend fills in the images.
Am I off base here or is there a better way?
the .htaccess file reads like this:
Order Deny,Allow
DENY from 66.21.117.
DENY FROM .ummah.net
DENY FROM 217.173.64.
ALLOW FROM ALL
This will stop the current round of Tzunami attacks on nuke sites... he copies your config.php to the images dir as a text file as well... he does create a few other files in the images dir -- so, for those who were hacked, my condolences - hope y'all appreciate the fix... and know that this grey hat is working with the fbi in resolution and information sharing. -- so, please, share your logs with the proper people if you fell victim to this, it is important.
I do themes and design while he can focus more on the development on stuff like the Theme System. We've been brainstorming about this the last few days, and some of the ideas we've been considering for the theme system are pretty neat! Hopefully it will lead to something usefull!
Competition: Sentinal said that he was considering to get a official name for the theme system, and now we want you to help out! Send us your thoughts and you might be the one that wins this competition.. the prize? You may get your presence into the new theme system ofcourse! ... Post your ideas now!
