Widgetizer - Build dynamic thread widgets in and outside vBulletin
 

Product name: Widgetizer

Level of Difficulty: Moderate, this product requires a good understanding of CSS, HTML and vBulletin.

Who should use this product: Webmasters who wants to really customize their vBulletin, webmasters that have non-vBulletin CMS pages that want to integrate forum thread widgets into their non-vbulletin pages.

Support: This product is NOT supported.

What does it do?

This product automatically builds and caches (no load issues!) dynamic widgets for Newest Threads, Featured Forum, Marketplace, Most Active in 24 hours, Most Popular, and allows you to CSS style and add these blocks anywhere, including NON-VBulletin pages!

Live demo:

- vB Widgets on non-vB pages:
http://www.scionlife.com (latest posts & features news)
http://www.my350z.com
http://www.mbworld.org
http://www.mustangforums.com/forum -widgets built into the right column on forum

woohoo!

Am I missing something or are there no install or usage instructions in the zip archive?
For example:
The first option "Cache Directory" - what do I enter there? And once the configuration is done - where do I get the code to create widgets in my CMS?

Finally! Thank You :)

Latest albums would be a great addition to widgets...there's no other hack can display latest albums on external site...

Good work.

Strangely, in footer of two of those demo forums, Internet Brands notice is there. Are you IB staff?

Let's hope something like this will come packaged with vBulletin 4 series.

Wow y'all are on a roll. First vB Nexus, now this. Things are getting pretty interesting!

thanks for that should be interesting have downloaded but its 1am here so will install in the morning!

How does this add widgets inside vbulletin? Can it show widgets within post?

This sounds very interesting. :up:

Instructions are very simple - they are in the README file. You can build a widgets anywhere, inside posts, outside vbulletin on non-vbulletin pages, etc.

VB 4.0 comes with its own widget system which puts this one to shame :) but until then - this gets the job done.
