Thanks to evreyone in this thread that have posted and it possible for me to get this working,, Awsome hack..

2 questions..

1. Is it possible to Show guests aswell as logged in users in the who's online bit?

2. As I have the users_online in an Iframe I need to change the clickable username link to open in a new window and not the tiny Iframe,, Is this possible or can I disable the hyperlink?

See if this helps. Find this line:

$config['MasterServer']['servername'],

and after it, add this line:

$config['MasterServer']['port'],

DrewM 01-29-2006 09:42 PM
This does work. Thank you!

Ok Iv sorted question 2.. But I would still Love to able to show the number of guests online.. Does anyone know if this is possible?

DrewM 01-30-2006 06:30 PM
You would have to edit the templeate, then go thru vBExternal.php and well I don't know.

In fact, contrary to popular belief, this is not correct.

I understand that you're "a n00b", so you might want to ask someone for a translation if you don't quite follow all of this.

You just need to copy over your vB PHP files (/forum_root/*.php and /forum_root/includes/*.php) to your non-vB server so that you're able to include global.php. You will also need to modify your database settings in this copy of vB's config.php file to point to the remote mySQL server.

This works for me.

People: This works on all 3.5.X builds if you read back a few pages, find the fixes, and take notes. Since 98% of everything you do on the web involves reading something, you'll thank yourself later. Sadly, this is a flagrantly unsupported hack.

well someone should edit the first post providing links to all the other posts that explain on how to fix it... since there isn't any support. doing that will help out alot!

Agreed, although over a few moons around here I have gone through several hacks and tried compiling all the patches, fixes etc. into one post, and as soon as a new page starts people are asking all the same questions again anyway. So I gave up. The best I can tell you right now is this thing works if you read through this thread and suss out the solutions.

People who are having issues with this in 3.5.x, take a look at Post Numbers: 205 and 181.

Does anyone have a way to do the following?
1. Pull the $thread['preview'] variable into the function output_NewestThreads() function
2. Parse out BBCode + HTML from $thread['preview']

Basically, I am looking to add thread descriptions without BBCode/HTML to the output_NewestThreads() function, instead of just thread titles/links.

I've been searching for a way to do this for over a month now, with little or no headway into this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This is a great mod, but I'm having a problem with inline images. I have a forum that permits HTML code. I've used <img src="http://.... to insert images in the post. The forum topic displays properly, but on the external page the image src gets screwed up.

The image source should point to (for example):

HTML Code:
http://www.bigblueball.com/images/logos/gmail+talk.gif
but where I call the external routine, it modifies this to:

HTML Code:
http://www.bigblueball.com/http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/images/logos/gmail+talk.gif
Any ideas on how to fix this?

mkoerner 02-20-2006 01:49 PM
this is what i have been looking for. I do have one problem im using php4. Can you tell me what I need to change in the files to get it to work correctly?

i keep getting page can not be found. I think its just a pathing issue. I just dont know what to change.

I "solved" this by commenting out line #466 of vBExternal.php:
PHP Code:
 //    $Data = str_replace('images/',"{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/images/",$Data); 
I haven't seen any negative impact, but maybe someone could confirm? The only thing I could see this "breaking" is smileys?

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

to this (the 20 is the number of characters to display):
Code:
substr($Thread['title'],0,20),
Can anyone explain how to get this to work? I need my page to truncate the thread titles, but I've tried loadsa ways and I just can't do it :(

activa 02-28-2006 01:12 AM
it still work in vb 3.5.4 ???
any change to make from vb 3.5.0 rc1 to work fine in vb 3.5.4 .

thanks in advance .

GetGamer.com 03-01-2006 11:56 PM
Yes, this still works in 3.5.4.

By the way, a really, really nice additional module for this mod would plop a POLL on any external page (similar to the vBAdvanced poll module). Doable?

Hey guys, I have a bit of a request here... I'm looking to add a pseudo blog style comments system using vBExternal.

I have certain pages on my web site, reviews and articles and such which have a link at the bottom saying "You can post your comments about this review here." This leads people to a thread set up to let people make comments about that review or article or whatever.

What I'd like to do is to be able to show how many comments have been been made in a selected thread on the review page using vBExternal as "Comments (#)


Example:
Review page

Comment thread

You can do a blog-like comment system with a modified style. Check out the posts on this page (created with vbExternal). You'll see a comment count. Click on the headline or the comment links and you'll go to the "article" with comments, just like you'd see in a blog. It's actually just a customized style applied to those "forums" that I want to appear that way. In my case, I use it for news.

i think i solved the slight issue. I have tested this in my local server and vBexternal worked as expected.

here is the solution:

1. Open Vbexternal.php and find:
$config['MasterServer']['servername'],

2. add below:
$config['MasterServer']['port'],

</---------- Problem Solved ------------>

----
optionally:
find: $config['SlaveServer']['servername'],
add below: $config['SlaveServer']['port'],

Please let me know if it isnt useful solution for your forums.

I was pointed to this hack after my longtime use of the PluhNews mod seemed to break down after the 3.5 upgrade. Attempting to get this to work now on my blog-like site, but having some problems. I have read all posts in this and related threads. I have a couple questions if anyone is willing to chime in to help a long-time vB user, but programming clueless-guy...

My forums are located at:
http://forums.tannerworld.com, a subdomain which I assume is the same as http://www.tannerworld.com/forums

Since 2002, I've run a blog using content pulled from a forum on my vB. That content was pulled by PluhNews onto this subdomain page on the same server:
http://steveandamysly.tannerworld.com/index.php

Unable to get any additional support for PluhNews with the 3.5 upgrade, I thought I might give vBExternal a try. Unfortunately, I've been unsuccessful at this time. I've been testing the new page at http://steveandamysly.tannerworld.com/index3.php

Per the instructions, I've added the PHP call to the top of my page. The format for that has been:

Code:
<?php
chdir('./home/tannerwo/public_html/forums');
require_once('./home/tannerwo/public_html/forums/vBExternal.php');
?>
Unfortunately, this does not seem to do anything. I get the following error message:
Quote:
Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/tannerwo/public_html/steveandamysly/index3.php on line 2

Warning: main(./home/tannerwo/public_html/forums/vBExternal.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/tannerwo/public_html/steveandamysly/index3.php on line 3

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './home/tannerwo/public_html/forums/vBExternal.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/tannerwo/public_html/steveandamysly/index3.php on line 3
Even when using the more basic call (removing the full directory path, I still get problems). For example, this does not work:
Code:
<?php
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
?>
As has been noted, I've modified the vBExternal.php file as noted here, adding the $config['MasterServer']['servername'], element. Still no dice. My end result goal is to once again get my blog up and running again, very similar in format to what GetGamer.com did as noted in his post (with post title, date, full post content, "Posted by" and "Comments" link). This is what I had going when using the PluhNews mod (which, for reference, sits broken here with a handy "Could not select database" error since the 3.5 upgrade).

The fact that I can't even get the initial call to vBExternal working correctly, even though I've tried a bunch of combinations, makes me think that I'm missing something rather simple -- perhaps tied to my use of subdomains for content.

Can anyone take a look at what I've got and provide a possible course of action? I'd sure appreciate the direction.

Thanks,
Steve

That's awesome work could you possibly show me how you got that to work like that? I've been looking for a way to ditch the traiditional 'news scripts' for the front page of my site and looking to integrating vbulletin with a news script but this would work just great. I'd be very interested in knowing how you accomplish.

Try using this instead

Code:
<?php
chdir('/home/tannerwo/public_html/forums');
require_once('/home/tannerwo/public_html/forums/vBExternal.php');
?>

TYorke 03-06-2006 04:46 PM
I have a request myself now :)

In the Who's Online output, can line can I add (and where) so that when no users are browsing the forums, I can add a message saying so. Currently nothing is displayed and the output is just blank.

Any ideas?

Freesteyelz 03-06-2006 11:59 PM
I had to use the full paths (/home/name/public_html/...) to all .php files to work. Is that normal and is it a security risk?
