i have to upgrade to this version, i'd like to see something else added like 'show polls'

:S
thanks

Inferno Tech

I am thinking of adding one or two more features into this (so keep an eye out for an update). But we are also going to be releasing a full version which shouldn't cost much that will have many more features available.

Yes for that all you will need to do is change the templates in the vBExternal folder. the pro version release date is still to be confirmed and just some of the features available include:

Top stats for RPG Inferno (if installed)
Show Polls
Latest Members
Top Posters

Hi m8

There on the same server but different account.

Inferno Tech

05-21-2007 07:25 PM

unfortunatly due to security reasons on yourserver you wouldnt be able to use it cross site due to php security

I currently have an IF command that shows a set of links to admins but not to normal members, but on the same page I want to display the latest news using vbexternal. I am unable to include global.php on the same page as vbexternal.php without it giving me this error;
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vbulletinhook in /home2/spacek/public_html/moonwings/includes/class_hook.php on line 29

And there doesn't seem to be a function (that I saw) to show admin/mod/usergroup only content...

carwash

I am getting the same error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vbulletinhook in /home/user/public_html/forum/vBExternal.php on line 121

Someone else had this problem with 1.6 and said they fixed it by resolving some conflict. What conflict would be causing this?

Great Hack!

One question: I want to display just a certain number of characters from the post on my news page... how?

Apfelfrucht

05-28-2007 09:27 PM

To Inferno Tech,

Installed ;) and could you integrate the Search Form too ? like this one :

Code:

<form action="forum/search.php" method="post">

        <input type="hidden" name="forumchoice[]" value="23" />

        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />

        <input type="hidden" name="showposts" value="0" />

        <input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />

        <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

        <input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="20"/>&nbsp;$gobutton<br />

</form>

* <input type="hidden" name="forumchoice[]" value="23" /> = Forum ID.

I will look at doing this for the pro version or maybe the lite, it depends on a few things.

@Harry 5: within vBExternal.php it is referenced all over in each function.

Thinking about buying pro version, just hope there will be a discount for people who have rpg and shoutbox and for it to be a bargain ^^

however, im having problems using it right now.

this is the error that is coming up on my homepage which im trying to put the users online on.

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/*******/public_html/right.php on line 176

on line 176 i have this
<?php
output_UsersOnline();
?>

I have included

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

at the top of the php file as well.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Edit again: i removed the users online, and checked to see if the code at the top was working, it was not,
I changed the code at the top of the page to:

Code:

<?php

require_once('http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/vBExternal.php');

?>

, now that works.

then put the code back in for online users to show up, and get this error

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: output_usersonline() in /home/******/public_html/right.php on line 174

line 174 is: output_UsersOnline();

Any ideas whats wrong?

Edit again:
decided to keep trying to modify it, to see if i could get it working, and came up with a different error this time

Code:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/***********/public_html/right.php on line 2



Warning: main(./vBExternal.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*****/public_html/right.php on line 3



Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './vBExternal.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/*******/public_html/right.php on line 3

I changed the code at the top of the page to:

Code:

<?php

chdir('http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums');

require_once('./vBExternal.php');

?>

Edit again:
Changed the top to:

Code:

<?php

chdir('forums/');

require_once('vBExternal.php');

chdir('../');

?>

and im now getting this error:

Code:

There was an error while processing vBExternal:

System was unable to find the template 'vBExternal/users_online.html'

I edited vbexternal.php and changed where the template is found to:
$template = "http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/vBExternal/{$template}";

I then get this error:

Code:

There was an error while processing vBExternal:

System was unable to find the template 'http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/vBExternal/users_online.html'

I then go to http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums/vB...rs_online.html to check it is a page, and it is, so whats wrong, it should be able to find it.

I have tried everything i can think of, will have to put back my old code, until you can help me solve this.

Thanks.

Final Edit:

I finally had the idea to do this and change the code to:

Code:

<?php

chdir('./forums');

output_UsersOnline();

chdir('../');

?>

and now everything works.

I just now need to work out how to display it, so it looks nicer, more integrated into my homepage, and more like a vbulletin way of displaying it, if anyone could help, id like to display it in my footer here www.gamerzneeds.net

I would also like to have the links vbseo links otherwise i will have duplicate content.

Thanks.

Hornstar

06-01-2007 10:57 AM

Ive also got it working on a different domain, but now ive been trying to get it to use vbseo url's ive included

Code:

## VBSEO SETTINGS  #####################################################

include_once "forums/includes/functions_vbseo.php"; // change this path to reflect where your forum is

vbseo_startup(); // if you have a vbSEO version under 3, comment this line and uncomment the next three

// vbseo_get_options();

// vbseo_prepare_seo_replace();

// get_forum_info();

not sure which files it should be included in, but i tried them all.

I then tried editing the threadid part, and got lost again lol.

anyway, i know its simple, and ill most likely get it when im not so tired.

I just now need to learn how to make it look good and fit the layout better, because i appear to be hopeless at design. any tips would be appreciated.

thanks.

Great idea. I've been looking for something like this. I'll give it a crack.

Inferno Tech

vBEXternal was never intended to be used with vbSEO but i may and try to add it in for the Pro release, but there are no promises.
