Converting vBulletin widget to WordPress
 
Hi, I have a snippet of code that I found and use as a widget to display the next 5 upcoming events in my calendar. I am looking to port this over to WordPress as that is now my homepage. The code is below. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks


PHP Code:
ob_start(); 


//  %d 
$show_count = 5; 

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event WHERE visible = 1 AND (dateline_from > '%d' || (  dateline_from > '%d' AND dateline_to < '%d' )) ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT %d",TIMENOW,TIMENOW,TIMENOW,$show_count);

$event_get = vB::$db->query_read($query); 

$output_bits = ''; 
while($event = vB::$db->fetch_array($event_get)) { 

     if($event['dateline_to'] == 0 ) 
     { 
         $format = sprintf("On %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from'])); 
     } else { 
         $format = sprintf("From %s to %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']),date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to']));
     } 
      
     $output_bits .= sprintf(' 
        <div class = "cms_widget_post_bit"><h4 class="cms_widget_post_header"><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d"><p style="color:red">%s</p></a></h4> 
            <p class="cms_widget_post_content">%s</p> 
        </div> 
        ',$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format); 

} 
$output = $output_bits; 

ob_end_clean();

why convert it? just install a php code widget on wordpress, chdir to the forum directory require global.php, change back and bam.

How would I do that? WordPress and vBulletin are both installed on the root of my website. When i chdir i get this error:
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: VB::$db

thanks

If vb's global.php is in the same directory as the script that's running your code, then you don't need to chdir. If you still get that error, try removing the VB:: from in front of $db.

ExoticAgenda 05-08-2012 12:11 AM
I did that, I removed the VB:: and now nothing shows up (atleast no errors), but now I am not sure what to check next. thanks

A vb widget only sets $output to the widget html. I don't know how a WordPress widget works, but unless it works exactly the same way then you're probably not going to get any output.

ExoticAgenda 05-08-2012 02:20 PM
hm, ok. is there any way to figure out how to display the text? Or am I going to need to have a widget made from scratch that queries the table. thanks

kh99 05-08-2012 02:58 PM
I think what you need is some info on how to write a WordPress widget (which may be quite different than a vb widget even though they're both called widgets). Of course this is a vb forum and not WP, but someone here probably knows. Or you could try a wordpress forum.

ExoticAgenda 05-11-2012 11:07 AM
yeah ill need to look into that, thanks for the help though

To follow up on this, I got it working. I needed to echo out the output and remove the vB:: and other small things. But it works now.

PHP Code:
<?php

global $db;

require('global.php');

//  %d  
$show_count = 5;  

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."event WHERE visible = 1 AND (dateline_from > '%d' || (  dateline_from > '%d' AND dateline_to < '%d' )) ORDER BY dateline_from ASC LIMIT %d",TIMENOW,TIMENOW,TIMENOW,$show_count);

$event_get = $db->query_read($query);  

$output_bits = '';  
while($event = $db->fetch_array($event_get)) {  

     if($event['dateline_to'] == 0 )  
     {  
         $format = sprintf("On %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']));  
     } else {  
         $format = sprintf("From %s to %s",date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_from']),date('jS M Y',$event['dateline_to']));
     }  
       
     $output_bits .= sprintf('  
        <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 25px;"><b><a href="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=%d">%s</a></b>   
            %s</div><br />          
        ',$event['eventid'],$event['title'],$format);  

}  
 
echo "$output_bits";
echo "<a style='margin-right: auto;' href='http://www.exoticagenda.com/calendar.php'>See more events</a>";
?>
