:: How to use KNews.


This new version of Kreative News allows the news to be 
both included or directly shown on the webpage by 
using a series of templates.

To display the news just include or direct people to the 
file index.php that belongs to Kreative News. You can 
also do more advanced things if including news which i 
will now outline.

The script supports Profiles (Multiple Categorys), Categorys 
and normal news display.  You can also limit news either by 
specifing a number in the settings or by specifing it in the 
path.

The RSS news feed will be created in the exported folder called headlines.xml
Special characters such as ,, and so on may break the RSS Feed this is not 
a fault that lies with Kreative News but with XML.  We will try to add a 
system that will strip the characters that cause breakages in the next version.

To use the advanced features options are split into four (4) parts:
Display, Keyword, Template and Limit.  You can use one of these at a 
time or all of them at the same time.

The following url extensions can be used with index.php and headlines.php

Display=x - Where x is equal to one of the values below.
              - News = Show news items

              - Headlines = Show news headlines (use headlines.php instead of index.php)

              - Category = Show news from the specified 
                           category (See Keyword details below)

              - HeadlinesCategory = Show headlines from the specified 
                                    category (See Keyword details below)

              - Profile = Show news from the specified 
                          profile (See Keyword details below)

              - HeadlinesProfile = Show headlines from the specified 
                                   category (See Keyword details below)

Keyword=x - Where x is equal to the category or profile keyword as 
            specified in the admine cp. This needs to be used in conjuction
            with the display tag above.  Ie. index.php?Display=Headlines&Keyword=catkey1

Limit=x - Where x is equal to the number of items to show on the page.

Action=x - Same as display only one tag can be used with this tag:
             - Oldnews = Show the news archive.

Template=x - Where x is equal to the template keyword.  This tag lets you use custom 
             templates with the items.

So for example it would look like index.php?Display=Headlines&Limit=8

You can also use text files instead of *.php.  This feature is disabled by default and can
be enbaled in the settings area of the admin CP.  Using this feature uses defualt templates
and settings.
