Adem Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 im really curious as to what news system neowin.net uses, ive started my own website and ive got 3 news systems set up for the different catagoreys, so if someone could please p.m. me what they use and/or a download link, i would be extreamly greatful. Thanks so much Adem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john smith 1924 Veteran Posted February 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 17, 2004 Its a custom system essentially. If you want something reasonably similar try phpnuke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 yeh, i hate php nuke, its just i got cutenews installed 3 times for my different catagoreys, it looks cool, but i found out tht its called Virtuanews thanks to adrian, but i need to get a better theme, and learn howto edit them, thanx though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilman2590 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Virutanews is a good news system :) :yes: good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 (edited) The neowin news system has a story behind it from my memory serves me well the guy who wrote the neowin news script software "tingle" was a long standing member of neowin for a while, then the admins and him departed where he went and stared to bulild VirtuaNews. Leaving neowin with his script work, yet since that time its been overhauled by Redmak (with maybe some help from Timdorr too :unsure: ) pretty much.. So don't go download "VirtuaNews" and think you're getting what Neowin is using because you're not. News script by Tingle, maintained by Neowin.net ? 2000-2004 That is posted at the bottom of the front page here.

jack_canada Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 neowin's news system is one of the best out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 17, 2004 Leaving neowin with his script work, yet since that time its been overhauled by Redmak (with maybe some help from Timdorr too :unsure: ) pretty much. From what I understand, just about all of Tingle's code has been replaced by some hard work from Redmak. Digital Oracle also contributed some speed improvements to the comments page. I've just completed some more improvements that should have a big impact of the rendering of that page (I got the "Saddam Captured" news item, with it's 509 comments, down from 7.2 seconds rendering time to 0.30 seconds rendering time). With any luck that will help out with server loads a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 18, 2004 :| damn what did you do to the code to get that! Removed a redundant loop on an array for every parent comment. Basically, I turned it from an O(n^2) algorithm to a O(2n) algorithm. I'd like to get it to O(n) (or O(1) with caching :D ), but I think I've already made a big enough dent ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
