Yes, it's normal. The script needs to have the path to your forums. It's not a security risk, as nobody will be able to see the path. Aside from those capable of viewing files directly from your File Manager, FTP, etc.

That did the trick. Thanks.

Now to work on the formatting...

My BBtags don't seem to parse on the news. I have the text limited to X characters as a preview, then they click to read more. But on this it just shows things like "...returns with [i]100 ..." etc.

I stuck this into an pre-existing page that I have that references a stylesheet. However, all content pulled in by vBExternal does not seem to be formatted by the stylesheet. So my question is... do I need to reference the stylesheet elsewhere? If so, where do I place this style info?

I've the forum on another server than my actual website where I need this element to be added. The other servers address is foorumi.domain.com (it's forwarded with IP address).

Is there a solution for this?

I'd be very interested in knowing how you accomplish.

Thanks! Here's the gist of how it's accomplished. A user named Dune on TAZ had done something similar on his web site. I saw it, asked how he did it, and implemented on my site (with a few tweaks). He wrote up the process as an article which you can find here:

Hi,

We have quite a bad problem. Stuff in QUOTE tags doesn't show on the main website where the thread from the forums is being output. It is imperative we are able to show quotes, how can we do this?

Thanks.

Is there a way to display one of the user profile fields with the newest_members.html? I have an extra field I added (field 5) that is required and I would like to show it on my non vb page using vbexternal in the newest_members

Thanks in advance

I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what so I hope you can help me out. I'm trying to get great a file called newest.php which is located in the root of my forum folder. The newest.php looks like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

chdir('/home/paitsio/public_html/Foorumi');

require_once('/home/paitsio/public_html/Foorumi/vBExternal.php');

?>



<?php

output_NewestReplies(5,"1,2,3");

?>

I also tried it And when I try to call it, it gives me this:

Quote:

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

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, whom you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

The idea is that I can call newest.php from a page which is located in external page.

I commented out

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin =& new vB_Registry(); // Fake an OOP Object

and

PHP Code:


		
			
class vBulletinHook { function fetch_hook() { return false; } }

Like I was instructed, and added the Master and Slave port calls, but I got a NEW error

PHP Code:


		
			
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dooutput() in /home/animefan/public_html/community/vBExternal.php on line 257

Any ideas on how I might resolve this ( hopfuly my last ) error with this script. I moved from 3.0.7 to 3.5.4 and this scripts been a huge pain lol, but its the perfect one!

Wow..somehow, while I was working on the script half of it was eaten...possibly an error caused by my laptops faulting onboard mouse...anyhow..redownloaded the FULL script, modded it, and now it works perfectly!

Can you tell me the mods to get it to work please? I followed the instructions and I get this error.

The database is fine, so i'm unsure....

I undertsnad this is a modified version of VbExternal for 3.0.7 - but on both mod pages - the zip file is called 1.6.zip ?? I'm certain i'm downloading the wrong version, but i'm getting it from this thread..? Who knows.... how do I get the version that works with 3.5.4 ?

Any assistance - as little as it may be may be a big help to me.

Ok.....

I'v got it now to work! WAhoooooo !!:banana: "Banana Dance"

This may not be a bit complicated - but someone super smart may know this...

How would i make it show the thread itself i.e the text (news story) - and have it truncated (cut off) after 200 words?

So we would have:

This works well if the external file - is on the same server as the forum...

What if I wanted to pull the news onto another website - not located on the vb server?

i.e i have www.vbinstallion.org/forum/ and I actually want to pull the headlines so they appear on www.news-site.org ? (these forums are examples not my actual fsites) - how does this work with vBExternal? - is it even possible?

I've got this to work via many mods and changes posted throughout the 18pages. So good work team! keep it up!

I've got a new sugesstion though. Is is posible to have forum stats? Such as 'total posts, total members, total threads' Maybe in the following format?

Quote:

Total Threads :: 1638
Total Posts :: 35643
Total Members :: 647
Newest Member :: Ashbeard

Any luck?

all I get is this

http://63.209.191.131/info.php

any suggestions?

Firstly create a blank php file and copy this into it

Code:

<?php 

echo getcwd(); 

?>

name this path.php, upload it to your webservers root and point your browser at it and this will tell you your servers path.

Now enter that path into chdir and require once also naming the location of your servers root and forum folder

Code:

<?php

chdir('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder');

require_once('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder/vbexternal.php');

?>

this needs the full path

enter this inbetween

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<?php

chdir('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder');

require_once('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder/vbexternal.php');

?>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>



</head>

<body>

<!-- Where output code goes -->



<?php

output_TopPosters(5);

?>



<?php

output_NewestMembers(5);

?>

<!-- etc etc -->

</body>

</html>

the other code you have there has to be in a external .html file within your vbexternal folder

also make sure your vbexternal folder is the same lettercase as your path eg. if its vbexternal name your path that otherwise if its vBexternal (note the capital B, name it like that)

hope that helps :)

Question.

I am running a site which uses vb 3.5.4, and it is also using this script as a login script.

PHP Code:


		
			
        <? 







if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']!=0) { 

$username=$vbulletin->userinfo['username']; 

   

print("<align='center'><span class='sectionheader'>Welcome back, $username!<br>"); ?>

        <? 



} else { 

  





?>

      </p>

      <form action='/forums/login.php' method='post' class="style46" onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'>

        <p align="center" class="inbottom">

          <script type='text/javascript' src='/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script>

          <span class="style57">Username:</span><span class="style57">

          <input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' size='15' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value='' onfocus='if (this.value == 'username="username"') this.value = '';>

          <br />

          Password:

          <input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' size='15' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' />

          <br />

          <input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' />

          Remember Me</span><br />

          <input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' />

          <input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' />

          <input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='1' />

          <input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' />

        </p>

      </form>

      <div align="left" class="style46">

        <div align="center">

          <p><a href="/forums/register.php?"><span class="inbottom">Support ThrillHistory.com &amp; Register Today. It only takes two Minutes! </span></a>

              <? 



} 



?>

Which also uses this.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

chdir("forums/"); 

require('global.php');   

chdir("../");

?>

Now I have tried many times to implement a few of these enhancments onto my website, however I am greeted with the Vbulletin DB error page. Any help?
