I'm working on one file which contains all often requested features to be displayed on another page outside vbulletin...There are alot of files like: online users on another page, top threads on another page so I thought it would be better to make one big file that could all that, that would be integrated with vb's template-system and easily could be extended/upgraded to newer versions and more features..

It currently supports:

• number of threads
• number of posts
• number of members
• newest member
• todays birthdays
• online users
• threadslisting (nr and sorted by configurable)
• memberslisting (nr and sorted by configurable)
• forumslisting (nr and sorted by configurable)

All layouts are configurable through the vbtemplate area..

You can totally customize everything: You can choose what you wanna display, in which order and how..

No matter how many modules you load, global.php is included only once (php 4 required, if you have php3 there's a workaround on this).

I would like some feedback on this; Tips, requests etc...

It will be released within 1-2 weeks (depending on my spare time)

A sample page would look like:

nice i think lots of people would love this :D

Yeah, this could be a succes

It'd be pretty kool. also add total views. i know it's more quries but it would be better then.

Total views? You mean the total views of all threads? Wouldn't be problem at all..Since you can choose what you wanna display I'll add it

very nice :)
Hurrrrrry up :D

<a href="http://www.promotionbase.com/" target="_blank">http://www.promotionbase.com/</a> go to bottom!

sounds great!

todays new posts, threads and members would be nice to see too :)

How about showing the most active or recent poll(s)?
This would be great.

Sounds great. Can't wait!
:D

That would be at the very end of my todo list..sorry...

Don't see the use for it honestly

any idea in days/weeks when you will finish man?

Synx:

:)

Oh damn! Sorry guys, I gotta pay more attention when I read! LOL! Sheesh . . . .

Sounds very nice, but a suggestion. Don't make it a fixed table size for output if you plan to, just pass the info along and let the user determine where it should be placed in the web page. For example, I use a left border table and would like to have output for:

X number to current topics - say 10

Then put those topics in the table that can wrap the text to fit inside the fixed width. Example: 180, or whatever. After which newer posts, according to the date/time replace the ones there.

It's basically what I think you are doing, I just would like to pass it as variable text and not pre-formated so I can make my own for the home page, etc.

Keep us posted, :)

Cool hack, I cant wait :)

15 days?hum........ok :)

I can't wait for this hack! It would be great if it would include the persons username if they are logged in (hello, username).

Can't wait.

I'd agree, I've had to put together alot of little scripts to do this before... having one nice script with template support is wonderful :)

Whoa, awesome, looking forward to it!

How about 'Threads with 0 replies' ?

and ' 10 Busiest Threads'

For your first idea,i dislike but for the second yes!!

I like the threads with 0 replies idea. I had a hack on my old UBB 5.46 that showed the last 30 "virgin" topics (as it called them) and I think it helped people see posts that might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

10 busiest threads is also a good idea! ;)

Hum........yes
the better is to open a little window at the load of the page no?

was allready implemented..You can do something like this:

<?php

$sorttype = "asc";
$sortby = "posts";
$action = "listusers";
include("vbextern.php");

?>

Whaouuuuuuuuuuhhh cool :D

Ready in how many time?:D

This hack keeps sounding better and better! It almost seems like it should included into vb.

Any time frame on when you'll have a version finished?

Actually the code-example I gave wasn't right, but it gives the idea how to do it...

I hope releasing it this week, but I'm nog sure...still busy getting my forum upgraded and moved...

Sounds like a great combination to add into my vbPortal CMS.

Sure you can put a personnal form a the registration for every users :)

Sounds great. Another suggestion, maybe add a list of the current private Messages. I don't know if someone suggested this, as I didn't exactly read the whole post. :)

Wouldn't work. This is just for general use outside the vB, and the user would have to have a cookie set by the vB to do that.

Ohh, ok. Still be awesome. :)

Just curious if there's any news on this? I know I'm not the only one looking forward to it.

Same here...

I'll do my best to release it this week, but I have to study, to work and to move/upgrade my existing board...So when I've time I'll work on it..most functionality is allready built in, only a few things have to be hacked in...

Plz try :(

Thanks for your hard work.

Wishing you lots of luck with your hack, Mas*Mind. I'm sure such a hack would be very useful for many other vBulletin users. :)
