vBulletin threads to WordPress Module?
 
The perfect example of what I'm looking to do can be found here:

http://wrxfanatics.com/blog/

On the right hand corner of the site it says - Recent from Forum

How can I do that? I desperately need it ASAP.

I will give you a huge high five if you help me.

Hey Chris,

You can use the RSS feed aka external.php file and if you want to make it for a certain area, you can do so. You know my contact info to contact me.

Yours,

Tony.

Hey, hit me up via email. I sent you a direct message via twitter.

Hey, yeah - we do the same thing, using our RSS file, on the homepage (center column) at http://www.theworshipcommunity.com ... feel free to reply if you'd like me to post the code we put into the wordpress template.

KipLarson 06-23-2009 12:26 AM

I would love to see how you're doing it. Please post the code.

Thanks

Sure thing - this is in the bottom center column of http://www.theworshipcommunity.com homepage (in wordpress).

In our wordpress theme, we added this code:
Code:

<h2>Join in the Discussions ...</h2>
               
                                <?php
                                        require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php');
                                        // here's where to insert the feed address
                                        $rss = @fetch_rss('http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2');
                                        if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {
                                        ?>
                                        <ul style="margin-left: 15px;">
                                                <?php
                        // here's (5) where to set the number of headlines
                        $rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 14);
                        foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
                        ?>
                        <li style="margin-bottom: 10px'">
                            <a href='<?php echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']); ?>'>
                                    <strong><?php echo wp_specialchars($item['title']); ?></strong>
                            </a><br />
                            <?php echo wp_specialchars($item['description']); ?>
                        </li>
                        <?php } ?>
                                        </ul>
                                <?php } ?>
               
                <p>
                        More in <a href="http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/forums/">the forums</a>.
                </p>

Hey... for some reason this code doesn't work.

I altered it to fit my specific forum from what I saw needed to be replaced but it just shows:

Join the discussions...

More in the forums

And it appears no forum threads are pulled. Any ideas? Some setting I'm missing or something else?

fmckinnon 06-25-2009 10:14 AM

hey post your code here, I'll take a look

KipLarson 06-25-2009 11:45 PM

Here's the full code to my subscribe-wide.php template

From the prime press theme

PHP Code:

<div id="sidebar-wide" class="sidebar">
        <ul class="xoxo sidebar-items">
    <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar("Sidebar Wide") ) : ?><!--#sidebar-wide widgets start-->
        
        <li id="pp-recent-posts" class="widget">
            <h2 class="widgettitle"><?php _e('Recent Posts'); ?></h2>
            <ul>
                <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=10'); ?>
            </ul>
        </li>

<?php /*
<h2>Join in the Discussions ...</h2>
        
                <?php
                    require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php');
                    // here's where to insert the feed address
                    $rss = @fetch_rss('http://www.netbookreviews.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2');
                    if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {
                    ?>
                    <ul style="margin-left: 15px;">
                        <?php
                        // here's (5) where to set the number of headlines
                        $rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 14);
                        foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
                        ?>
                        <li style="margin-bottom: 10px'">
                            <a href='<?php echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']); ?>'>
                                <strong><?php echo wp_specialchars($item['title']); ?></strong>
                            </a><br />
                            <?php echo wp_specialchars($item['description']); ?>
                        </li>
                        <?php } ?>
                    </ul>
                <?php } ?>
                
                <p>
                    More in <a href="http://www.netbookreviews.com/forum/">the forums</a>.
                </p>

*/ 
?>    

    <?php endif; ?><!--#sidebar-wide widgets end-->
    </ul>

</div><!--#sidebar-wide-->

As you can tell I currently have it all commented out of the theme while I wait to try and figure things out.

Anyone else care to help? I'm in the position now where I'm leaning towards just paying someone to fix this for me...
