Show latest threads?

[MadsK]

Hi guys.

I've just bought vBulletin and is almost ready to launch my site but i would like to know how i can show recent threads on a normal html/php page where each post is either in a seperate table or in a UL so i can style them.

I've found one solution - But it puts all posts in one table and offers almost no styling.

Thanks :)

There is something like this - [HowTo] Display your latest threads on an external page using an RSS feed (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158916) Sometimes you need to change things a little bit to suit your own style.

Thanks for the link. But i can't get it to work.

It works if i don't replace the RSS file with my own forums. Then it displays the threads - but as soon as i replace it with my own http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/external.php?type=rss nothing shows up. If i open the link in my browser it does however show me the latest threads in rss. So i don't understand why i can't see it on my page? I only have 3 threads at the moment. Could this be the problem?

EDIT: After further testing i can see that not all my posts get into the RSS Feed.. What am i doing wrong?

The RSS feed only does threads, not posts.

I can't get to your site at all. I keep getting redirected to google.com. Very weird.

As i am moderating it at the moment i'm redirecting all trafic to google :) i've removed it until this is fixed. So you should be able to see it now!

Well its ok that it only does threads its just weird that in my forum i now have 12 threads and only 3 of them show up in the rss. http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/external.php?type=rss

But - typing in rss2 at last some of the other posts are there

http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2


But a couple are still missing? I guess its the external syndication i've done something wrong to?

Maybe you should look in the modifications threads and find one that just does a query to grab the threads instead of using the rss feed. (That's what I do for my home page.)

Can i ask which one you use?

Now all of a sudden it has updated. So i made a new post and it hasn't showed up yet. So i guess its like the RSS feed updates very slowly?

I didn't use one from here. I wrote my own cuz I have specific needs in which threads are grabbed and what information is needed.
