Tested and works for me as well :D thanks man.

great work - thanks man :up:

fixed

That's great Kusadasi-Guy! Thanks for sharing the fix :)

Thanks for the fix, got mine to work too!

One question though, how do I go about removing that box around the information? I edited the page newest_threads.html but it still showing up?

Derrick

Just replace it with a standard HTML table if you like, the information output vars in the template file can be shifted however you please.

Are you referring to changing the information in newest_threads.html correct? I even deleted the table and a box still shows up around the information?

Did you remove the <fieldset></fieldset> ?

If not, remove that and you should be good.

Thanks!

That worked thank you!

Kusadasi....good work. You beat me to it..

Has anybody has any luck getting images to appear properly? That's the only thing still tripping me up.

Hello,

I love the simplicity of this hack. Thanks to the author and thanks to the great contributors of this thread.
It works great. I hope the security issue will be solved.
I would appreciate to have other templates working in this hack. For example I wish to display the total loggedinusers number and the total registered users number.
Would it be possible ?
And How ?

Thank you all.

Michel

Fantastic bro, Thanks!! Now it works *Thumbs UP*

How difficult would it be to add PM and login info?

I am a confused lad. I copied all these files into an html file and renamed the file .php, then I uploaded to the sever and placed it in the ./forums folder along with the other html files and .php file I was told to upload from the upload folder.

What am I doing wrong?

<?php
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
?>

<?php
output_NewestMembers(5);
?>


<?php
output_TopPosters(5);
?>

<?php
output_NewestThreads(5,"1,2,3");
?>

<?php
output_NewestReplies(5,"1,2,3");
?>


<?php
output_News(5,4);
?>

<?php
output_UsersOnline();
?>

I use vb 3.5 gold and I have done this tempory solution but it doesn't work. Is there another solution please ?

up :D

The solution is four posts above yours. :tired:

Oooops great it works now. Thanks welo

I just have one question, can we like post information from our forums on another website?
my forum is www.lebforces.org/forum and I wanna poste some info on www.lebanese-forces.com
is it posssible?

If both sites are on the same server you can do this by using the full path in your chdir and require_once statements:

This is also the workaround if your forum occupies a subdomain on a separate server account.

Change this line (towards the end of the file):

PS if anyone is interested I have this working with DeanC's "DC SEO Plugin" https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91324

See my WIP here http://www.ejuan.com/index2.php

Let e know and i'll do a write up.

Great plugin. The news script my friend wrote no longer works with 3.5.0 but this works fantastically.

One problem though. A script I made to just display basic user info (such as username via $vbulletin->userinfo[xxx]) no longer works. I can include one of the needed files (/includes/functions_user.php), but once global.php is included, everything breaks giving this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vbulletinhook in C:\dir\to\forums\class_hook.php on line 29

I believe Kru (hi Kru :p) also had a problem with this a few pages back where the "Login on a Non-VB page" required global.php to be included also and gave the same error.

Any ideas how I can fix this? :)

Also, the images/smileys showed perfect for me without needing to edit anything :)

Gives an error when I do this:
Fatal error: vB_Database::Registry object is not an object in C:\dir\to\forums\includes\class_core.php on line 203

Matt

no, both sites are not on the same server!
would it work if I insert the full url not the path, or what?

make sure you have global.php included or else it will not work.

Global.php is included.

Matt

Using a URL won't work as a PHP security measure. Otherwise what's stopping you from including content from someone else's site? Must be the full server filepath.

confused...what's the final word?...

does this to work with 3.5 gold or not?

different question:

my whole site is basically in asp. or .net....am I screwed?

edit: ok sorry..I'm a n00b to the nth degree. so sorry if this is a stupid question: I am correct that the WEBSITE has to still be on the same host as the FORUMS?

like...it can't really be a TOTALLY different site (with different host)? Is that correct?

Works fine for my site using v3.5 Gold.

Apart from a few conflict errors with a script I wrote.

cool.


how about the question about site host...I'm a n00b to the nth degree.

so sorry if this is a stupid question: I am correct that the WEBSITE has to still be on the same web host as the FORUMS??

like...it can't really be a TOTALLY different site (with different host)? Is that correct?

That's correct :)

I just upgrade my forum to 3.50 gold and now this doesn't work. it shows database error in my home page... do i have to delete the file and reupload them? because it's not working...

ok i need serious help... i did everything i could, it shows database error after i upgrade my forum. i re-uploaded the files... i know everything is right cause i install this once before... but...

this message kept showing up on my home page (index.php in 'home directory') where this code was placed for home page "news"

the message is this...

"There seems to have been a problem with the database.
Please try again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser."


every other page works, other .php page works, forum works fine and everything is fine... I make a test.php page with nothing on it just a blank page with the following code.

upload it to my home directory and the same message shows...

how do i fix this? it act as thou it cannot read from the database...even thou the forum is working better than ever!

Read back a few pages and you'll find that somebody solved the problems highlighted with a simple edit to the main .php file. I think it was that the database connection code failed to include the new "port" variable, which was added into the class_core and config.php files with the v3.5 GOLD release.

@Xtrm2matt does it still give you an error if so, please post your vBExternal here so I can hae a look.

People...if you want to pull threads from another site's vBulletin install use EXTERNAL.PHP
