Exilian News System
« on: June 21, 2009, 01:55:18 AM »
I have created a basic news system for the main Exilian site. It shows up on the main page, and can be updated from another page in the site.

The page from which you can edit the news is password protected and only admins and possibly content contributors will have access to it.

My main problem at the moment it how to implement the news box on the main page. At the moment it is a box that looks similar to the text boxes of the form, but it looks odd like that, yet I don't know how else to implement it so that it looks good. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Bug No. 1: When HTML links are sent through the form, the php puts backslashes in front of the quotes, messing up the links, like so:

Edit: Bug fixed, now all that needs to be dealt with is the appearance of the news.

http://exilian.co.uk/ should show you the latest.
