We only have two options to pull in the news: selected threads and forums.
I used to pull my news from the threadiconid hack. Very convenient since all I had to do was to let members write the 'news' themselves and if they were worthy, I changed the icon.
Now, I created an extra field to pull the thread id and I replaced the forum ID section in news.php and I am back to normal.
Unfortunately, I have entire forums just for articles. And for those I use Geeks article. This is were the option to select forums that I disabled become very handy. My way around is to pull in just the thread titles from those forums, using the latest threads modules. I'd love to be able to use the news module instead, since they have a little synopsys and can use images.
How could I add that third option (to pull in from forums, the way it was before)?
first choice would be the new field by threadiconid
then by selected threads
then by selected forums.
