vbNews
 

Hello everybody,

Do you think one of you 1337 coders of vBulletin could make a modification entitled 'vbNews.' It's sole purpose is so it would allow webmasters to syndicate topics in forums as news onto their website (website integration).

Tipem

You mean much like the news module on vB powerded portals like vBAdvanced?

Every thread in a specific forum gets shown as news post on the website?
But for external pages that have nothing to with the vB?

Sounds intersting....

/me takes note

I'd imagine this would be something like a Portal or Article system, somewhat of a vB extension. Not everyone wants a portal or is willing to spend for GARS. While WebTemplates and vBadvanced can be customized to pull posts as news it takes a bit of coding knowledge or at least some understanding of vB's PHP protocol. With the Latest Threads and Posts available I'm surprised that there isn't a demand for a News request.

IPB has a modification called... err what's it called... SSIPlus. But, basically, it allows you to stream news, statisitics, and other crap onto your website. Has not anybody thought of this? Very useful... it's a must!

zerotolerance has written something quite similar called vbexternal.

im looking for an advanced artical system :S

I'm sorry, but I think you need to start your own thread for that. :) This is about a script to pull information out from the forums for use on another non-forum page.

I'm going to be creating a News Content Management System a little down the road. My hack will take a group/list of forums that news resides in, displays them in an organized fashion, categorizs them by to the admin's choosing, and displays them accordingly. I don't know if this is what you are after mrTip, but I am going to create it so that it can be displayed to non-vb pages as well as standard templates.

Christian, now you've done it :D You've just doomed yourself to numerous bumps of this thread saying 'oooh I want that! Is it done yet?'

:D

ooohhh, I want that. Is it done yet ?
