vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Display Post from vB to Homepage outside vB w/ bbCode formatting

AdTheRat · #1 09-13-2008, 07:30 PM

Heya, new to vBulletin (gasp nooo, a newbie! =O)

Basically, I've been trying to simply pull first posts of each thread from say a News forum or announcement into the homepage. The forum is in a separate folder.

Now, I've have manage to pull the data I want and display it on the homepage, but when it come to formatting the post (bbCodes and all) it been proving to be a headache.

Was wondering if anyone have any suggestions as in how I could get the post formatted to how it would be displayed in forum outside? Maybe there is a method of using the vBulletin built-in bbCode parser?

I have searched the forum, but I even suck at googling so, sorry if this is a repeated question.

Thanks
