I wanted to be able to provide a teaser item for topics that have no news submitted. Each topic should have a different teaser.
I've hacked up GL 1.3.7 index.php to display a customized "No News Yet" message based on the topic.

Add content to your gl_topics table emptymsg row for each topic.
If there is interest, I will publish the rest of the hack including a yet to be completed topic administration modification that will prompt for the "emptymsg".
Oh yea... to the guys that created GL... Thanks for the kick@ss Free Software!

- Add a column to gl_topics, text type named emptymsg
- Apply this patch to index.php:
