This looks like a very nice hack, but I have a few questions before I install.

1. Right now with my articles, I use regular PHP and it takes a while to code everything out, so this would save a lot of time, but is it search engine friendly like my PHP pages?

2. I have all my articles listed nicely on the main page of my site: www.muscle-mustangs.com The pages are PHP and they don't run off of vbulletin is their a way to take vbartices latest articles block and put them onto my main sites page and still be search engine friendly???

Thanks to all!

1. How search engine friendly is your current PHP pages ?
I might look into changing some stuff to make the links more search friendly ( see how it goes )

2. Just use normal sql queries and html, instead of the DB calls using $DB and vb templates/phrases. Can be done.

hmmm.....how would I do that so that my front pages 'latest articles' would update everytime I updated my articles page? I mean is their a way to tell it to go to vbulletin's database and get the $recentbits?

Thanks again, got it installed successfully, just looking for a way to add it to my main page :)

Don't quite get what you mean ?
How are you 'pulling' the article bits to your main page in the first place ?

Well my sites main page isn't pulling the latest articles, all I did was just copied my articles HTML code into my main page, I was just wondering if their was a way to pull the articles to my main page so that I wouldn't have to keep coping and pasting the code from the articles main page :) So in other words, when I add new articles to my site, it will automaticaly add them to my main page just like it updates the articles main page automaticaly!
