Sorry, but does vbexternal.php and the vbexternal folder go into /public_html for my portal index I'm trying to create or in my /forums folder where vB is? I tried both but only get a blank page

"$config['MasterServer']['servername']," is not anywhere in my vbexternal.php :(

Do I have some messed up version? I just downloaded it 5 mins ago so I would asume it's up to date...

Anyway, because I cannot find that line, I cannot apply the fix.

Re-downloaded the hack and the vbexternal.php file was a different size after I unzipped it. Opened it up, and the line I needed was there this time. VERY WEIRD.

Anyway, it works!

Thanks :)

Any chance of pulling news from more than 1 forum ID? Please please.

on newestthread I want to limit the characters how can I do that?

Everything goes in your forums dir.

if you mean in the thread title....
change this:

Code:

'threadname' => $Thread['title'],

to this (the 20 is the number of characters to display):

Code:

substr($Thread['title'],0,20),

Now, how do I change the font, etc? It is taken strictly from my html code specs in my index.html or from VBexternal.php?

USE CSS. Very Simple.

Code changes:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 

$countposts=$vbulletin->db->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM prefix_post'); 

$totalposts=number_format($countposts['posts']); 

$numbersmembers=$vbulletin->db->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM prefix_user'); 

$numbermembers=number_format($numbersmembers['users']); 

echo "Total Posts: $totalposts";

echo "<br>";

echo "Total Members: $numbermembers";

?>

How to limit News to certain characters?

Open vBexternal.php

Find

PHP Code:


		
			
'post'         => $bbcode_parser->parse(unhtmlspecialchars($News['pagetext']), $f),

Replace with

PHP Code:


		
			
'post'         => $bbcode_parser->parse(unhtmlspecialchars(substr ($News['pagetext'],0,250)), $f),

Change 250 to any numbers you wish and this will be pulled from the database.

Guys, this kicks complete ass! I'm a new user, but I'm quickly getting up to speed with the help of you fine folks!!

I have 2 questions:

1. Considering the code above, how would I apply it to the title of latest posts, and display "..." if the title goes beyond the desired limit?

2. Where do I place the "total members" code above? I'm kinda at a loss with this one. Does it go into vbexternal.php? How is it called?

Thanks soo much guys, this is awesome.

MD

The script is working fine, thanks!

But i still have one problem!

It disabled another script which i was using in the website:

PHP Code:


		
			
      <?PHP

                          



function checkPage($page) {

    //Controle

    if($page=="index") return false;

    $page.=".php";

    return file_exists($page);

}





$page=$_GET['page'];



if(!isset($page) || empty($page)) $page="nl/home";



if(checkPage($page)) include($page.".php");



?>

it is just a page script,but not working anymore when i put:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

chdir("../../HTML/testforum/");

include('./vBExternal.php'); 

?>

in the head of the index.

Anybody know the reason, and has a solution?
