Latest threads on my website

[PET]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is any plugin that can display the latest threads. My website is not a vBulletin addon, so I have to have a PHP file that I will include(). Any sugestions?

You can use your External Data Provider to accomplish this.

(Admin CP - vBulletin Options - External Data Provider)

Take a look at these:

Hello again,

I have made a PHP page wich includes another php file that contains the code from one of the examples. I tried RSS and XML.

http://www.webmasters.org/forum/external.php?type=xml

this link works fine. Also the RSS works fine. However if I try to acces my PHP code that supose to "extract" the XML, the script simply ... slows. It does not load.

http://www.webmasters.org/vb_threads.php

try it.

EDIT: I have puted the file on my localhost and it works. It seems this is a server problem.

This is what the error is:

[Sat May 19 14:43:19 2007] [error] PHP Warning: fopen(http://www.webmasters.org/forum/external.php?type=xml (http://www.webmasters.org/forum/external.php?type=xml)) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Operation timed out in /usr/local/websites/chadestrat/www_webmasters_org/vb_threads.php on line 77

Any sugestions why?

This is the error to concentrate on, as the other two are caused by this one. Instead of:
fopen('http://www.webmasters.org/forum/external.php?type=xml')
Replace it with:
fopen('/usr/local/websites/chadestrat/www_webmasters_org/forum/external.php?type=xml')

I tried that now I get this errors:


Array ( [path] => af/usr/local/websites/chadestrat/www_webmasters_org/forum/external.php [query] => type=xml )

and this error when I try to echo:

Notice: Undefined variable: xml_output in /usr/local/websites/chadestrat/www_webmasters_org/index.php on line 39


This is the script i'm using:



P.S. Could this happen if I'm using vBSEO?
