Great work KuraFire

I like to be able to pull info from my vB forum database onto my webpages, but I don't want to use a portal system. I write the website in HTML, and use PHP scripts for certain areas by having "include" statements in those HTML pages (named with .php extensions rather than .html). The portals I've looked at require you to write your webpages via vB templates, which I don't want to do.

I've got your hack working on a non-vB webpage. Had to alter the templates to suit my needs (I use Tubedog's hack for the latest threads), and had to tinker a small amount with the newsportal.php script to make it work OK outside of the vB forums directory. No modifications to any of vB's own php file needed

I'm trying to teach myself php, and a lot of what I learn is by looking at how other people have done things, and reading these forums a lot.

If anyone's interested, and as long as KuraFire doesn't mind, I'll post the "modifications" to get it working on a non-vB page.

I've had another idea of using your script to preview the latest book review on the website homepage too. The reviews are in their own forum, so could be pulled as for a news item.

The only thing that concerns me is the "bug" that you mention. I haven't noticed it yet.

Thanks.

Darren.
