Possibly a very stupid question, but how do I intergrate MyHeadlines in Geeklog?

I don't think this is a stupid question. I just downloaded the code today and am trying to figure out how to integrate it into my site. The INSTALL.TXT says it's Geeklog compatible, but fails to tell how to incorporate it. It's easy if I wanted it to be standalone.

Per the announcement, it seems that it should be a Static Page, but I've no idea how to do that.

If you've any insight since your post, please let me know!

Search the forum and you should find the previous discussion. I have done it long ago, but I've stopped using it. So I don't have it fresh in my mind.

And the author of MyHeadline is very helpful also.

Grab the GL 1.3.x archive. Un-zip it to a temp directory. Copy or move the directory MYH_4_2_9_GL13X/public_html/MyHeadlines/ to /path/to/geeklog/public_html/. Point your browser to http://your.domain.tld/MyHeadlines/index.php and follow the INSTALL.txt provided.

I had a poop-load of include errors when I pointed my browser to the MYH index.php, so I added teh following directly below the require_once('../lib-common.php') (maybe somebody can comment on why I have this issue or if this is even a good idea):
Text Formatted Code

// Add MyHeadlines to include paths
    $curPHPIncludePath = ini_get( 'include_path' );
    if( defined( 'PATH_SEPARATOR' ))
    {
        $separator = PATH_SEPARATOR;
    }
    else
    {
         $separator = ';';
        if( strpos( $curPHPIncludePath, $separator ) === false )
        {
            $separator = ':';
        }
    }
    if( ini_set( 'include_path', '/home/okanagan/public_html/MyHeadlines/' . $separator
                                 . $curPHPIncludePath ) === false )

Wonderful! Big Celebration

That's exactly what I'd originally done, but I got worried when my right side PHP blocks disappeared.

They're still gone, but I can live with it. Smile
