I have another question. How can adapt the included vBAdvanced CMPS modules to display on a non-vBAdvanced page?

For example, with ldm_hot.php , I tried changing the following:

PHP Code:

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] .= "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_custom_ldm_hot') . '";'); 


to:

PHP Code:

eval('$output .="' . fetch_template('adv_portal_custom_ldm_hot') . '";'); 


Then I tried adding print $output; or calling $output within adv_portal_custom_ldm_hot. I also changed the require_once paths to the absolute server paths, but I am getting the following error (with vB 3.5.4):

---
Unexpected critical failure
Critical Error: Links and Downloads Manager v.2.1.3 requires VBulletin version 3.5
---

Specifically, I'm am trying to pull LDM information into a module inside a Geek Article and Review System (GARS) LITE page.

My goal is to include blocks with 5 or 10 links from each LDM category matching a specific keyword, into an Article page in the GARS system. So for example, the Article content would be a Review of XYZ, then the LDM block would show 5 offsite links from the LDM category Reviews matching the keyword XYZ.

I'm not looking for a complete solution, but I hope you can point me in the right direction to be able to display LDM information on a non-LDM, non-vBAdvanced page.

Thank you.

The LDM code requires that the VBulletin 3.5 infrastructure is available and checks a particular vbulletin variable (vbulletin->options['templateversion']) to see if this exists. Unless the environment in which you try to place LDM has this infrastructure, it can't run. You'd have to see what GARS loads before running its modules.
