Last x Threads Marquee using External Data Provider

1 Attachment(s)

How to install:

First you have to activate External Source Provider.

Go to: Admin Control Panel > vBulletin Options > External Data Provider:
and choose JavaScript ( first choice ).

And i set the follow as below but not sure this has to be done

Thread Cutoff - 1

Thread Cache Lifespan - 1

Maximum External Records -15

Then on forumhome template find :

HTML Code:

{vb:raw navbar}

And below add :

HTML Code:

<!-- last x active threads -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<thead>

        <tr>

                <td class="tcat" colspan="2"><center>Latest Posts</center> </td>

        </tr>

</thead>

<tr>

                

<!--Messages-->

<td class="alt2">

<marquee direction="left" scrollamount="6" onmouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onmouseout="this.scrollAmount=6"><font size="2"><b>



                                

                                                                                  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.your domain.co.uk/external.php?&type=js"></script> 

<script language="" type="text/javascript">

<!--

for (x = 0; x < 5; x++)

{

document.writeln("*<a href=http://www.your domain.co.uk/showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+">"+threads[x].title+"</a>&nbsp");

}

//-->

</script>

        

                                        

                        

        



</b></font></marquee>



<!--/Messages-->

</td>

</tr>



</tr>

        </table>

<br />

<!-- last x active threads -->

If you want welcome newest member below this add

HTML Code:

Do you know if it's possible to change the default usergroup of the External Data Provider? By default, it is set to pull RSS feeds only from forums that are open to the public or unregistered users.

I'd like to be able to change the permissions of the RSS feed to a different usergroup that is available to registered users only.

Thanks so much. This mod looks great!

Not 100% sure but im sure you could add an <if> condition to say if in a certain group show 

i will have a look at this for you once i have finished working on my latest project :)

This should be standard in vB. Not sure why it isn't.

Well thanks for sharing thats my mod finished i guess :)

maximutt

11-26-2009 12:10 PM

Haha, well there you go! On to the next one.

btw, someone's gotta tackle integrating InfernoShout Pro into vB4 as those guys went out of business and no longer support the product. I see on your site, you have it installed but it doesn't work to well. Yet. Hint! Hint! :)

The archive / detach wont work but thats not to hard also i cant releases it as i can not get hold of inferno for permissions to release it im currently working on my own shout box but not sure when / if i will release yet depends on success

maximutt

11-26-2009 12:20 PM

I will see if I can help track down someone from Inferno next time I'm online.

Regardless, good luck on your own shoutbox! Looking forward to it! :)

I think decent coders protects the rights of other coders.
This mode is totally based on this mod: Last x Threads Marquee using External Data Provider

It would be nice of you to mention aisais and thank him for sharing with us his code.

Thanks. But, it is not working with me ??

I did the changes in both "the external data provider and in forumhome"

Any help ?

Any tips?

Your forums have to be viewable to guests/unregistered users.

Unfortunately, it does not work for me; I wonder, could it be cuz I am using 4.0.6 - though I doubt it. I am also getting the Last Posts, still.
