vBExternal v1.6

Well, this doesn't modify any php, nor use a plugin, so i wasn't sure exactly where to stick it

Anyhow, this is a port of the vBExternal for vb 3.0.7, so look at this thread for more information: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=81943

Enjoy

People who are having issues with this in 3.5.x, take a look at Post Numbers: 205 and 181.

Does anyone have a way to do the following?
1. Pull the $thread['preview'] variable into the function output_NewestThreads() function
2. Parse out BBCode + HTML from $thread['preview']

Basically, I am looking to add thread descriptions without BBCode/HTML to the output_NewestThreads() function, instead of just thread titles/links.

I've been searching for a way to do this for over a month now, with little or no headway into this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This is a great mod, but I'm having a problem with inline images. I have a forum that permits HTML code. I've used <img src="http://.... to insert images in the post. The forum topic displays properly, but on the external page the image src gets screwed up.

The image source should point to (for example):

http://www.bigblueball.com/images/logos/gmail+talk.gif

but where I call the external routine, it modifies this to:

http://www.bigblueball.com/http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/images/logos/gmail+talk.gif

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I "solved" this by commenting out line #466 of vBExternal.php:

PHP Code:

 //    $Data = str_replace('images/',"{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/images/",$Data); 


I haven't seen any negative impact, but maybe someone could confirm? The only thing I could see this "breaking" is smileys?

if you mean in the thread title....
change this:

'threadname'   => $Thread['title'],

to this (the 20 is the number of characters to display):

substr($Thread['title'],0,20),

Can anyone explain how to get this to work? I need my page to truncate the thread titles, but I've tried loadsa ways and I just can't do it
