What php code do I use to call specific vBulletin Functions.
onto a main page ?
Im a little new to php, and want to include some simple things into my main page.

Im making a news script.
but

Here is what I need:

Stats
Newest post
Users online
Search function
Users online.

p.s- my vB Subdomain is phorum

Just require global.php and then the page is 100% vB powered.

It's not that simple, filburt.

You can only do that if the page you're including it in is in the same directory as the board. If not, you'd have to either copy the essential vB files, or use chdir (or whatever function that was) a few times.

Doing what you just mentioned is pretty damn simple compared to what Filburt originally said though, Link ;)

Just use dot notation in front of the first forward slash to direct chdir() into the directory of global.php.

ie:


chdir("./forum");
require("global.php");

what do I put that in Velocd ?

The main page needs to be in php.

Then you put those lines as high as possible in the file after <?php

I usually also include this line as well:

error_reporting(7);
