vB CMS Wordpress Widget

[dadams982]

So I have an established blog on wordpress that I would to like to keep using rather than moving my people to the vB blog. I want to display the 6 most recent posts from wordpress on my vb cms home page. My vb is in xxxxxxxx.com/forum and my wordpress is in xxxxxxxx.com/blog

I have tried two different ways, both creating a widget with the PHP Direct Execution type. Here are both that does not work for me so far.

$output = <?php
// Include WordPress
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('../blog/wp-load.php');
query_posts('showposts=1');
?>

<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more...</a></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>



I have even tried these instructions with heavy fail:

Has anyone been successful in this type of operation?

this below code works beautifully if I create a .php file and pull it directly from a browser, but if being pulled from within the vB CMS, it does absolutely nothing... any idea why?


<?php
// Include WordPress
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('../blog/wp-load.php');
query_posts('showposts=3');
?>
<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more...</a></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
