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

Yes, it's normal. The script needs to have the path to your forums. It's not a security risk, as nobody will be able to see the path. Aside from those capable of viewing files directly from your File Manager, FTP, etc.

That did the trick. Thanks.

Now to work on the formatting...

My BBtags don't seem to parse on the news. I have the text limited to X characters as a preview, then they click to read more. But on this it just shows things like "...returns with [i]100 ..." etc.

Any ideas?

No ideas?

I stuck this into an pre-existing page that I have that references a stylesheet. However, all content pulled in by vBExternal does not seem to be formatted by the stylesheet. So my question is... do I need to reference the stylesheet elsewhere? If so, where do I place this style info?

I've the forum on another server than my actual website where I need this element to be added. The other servers address is foorumi.domain.com (it's forwarded with IP address).

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks. Now I need to figure out how to remove images from the news.

I've been looking for a way to ditch the traiditional 'news scripts' for the front page of my site and looking to integrating vbulletin with a news script but this would work just great. I'd be very interested in knowing how you accomplish.

Thanks! Here's the gist of how it's accomplished. A user named Dune on TAZ had done something similar on his web site. I saw it, asked how he did it, and implemented on my site (with a few tweaks). He wrote up the process as an article which you can find here:

how can i fix this

[PyrOxide]

Hi,

We have quite a bad problem. Stuff in QUOTE tags doesn't show on the main website where the thread from the forums is being output. It is imperative we are able to show quotes, how can we do this?

Thanks.
