vBExternal v1.6 · **Released**: 06-12-2005

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

all I get is this

http://63.209.191.131/info.php

any suggestions?

Firstly create a blank php file and copy this into it

Code:

<?php 
echo getcwd(); 
?>

name this path.php, upload it to your webservers root and point your browser at it and this will tell you your servers path.

Now enter that path into chdir and require once also naming the location of your servers root and forum folder

Code:

<?php
chdir('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder');
require_once('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder/vbexternal.php');
?>

this needs the full path

enter this inbetween

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<?php
chdir('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder');
require_once('/xxx/xxx/x/xxxx/xxxx/forum_root_folder/your_forum_folder/vbexternal.php');
?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

</head>
<body>
<!-- Where output code goes -->

<?php
output_TopPosters(5);
?>

<?php
output_NewestMembers(5);
?>
<!-- etc etc -->
</body>
</html>

the other code you have there has to be in a external .html file within your vbexternal folder

also make sure your vbexternal folder is the same lettercase as your path eg. if its vbexternal name your path that otherwise if its vBexternal (note the capital B, name it like that)

hope that helps

Question.

I am running a site which uses vb 3.5.4, and it is also using this script as a login script.

PHP Code:


			
        <? 







if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']!=0) { 

$username=$vbulletin->userinfo['username']; 

   

print("<align='center'><span class='sectionheader'>Welcome back, $username!<br>"); ?>

        <? 



} else { 

  





?>

      </p>

      <form action='/forums/login.php' method='post' class="style46" onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'>

        <p align="center" class="inbottom">

          <script type='text/javascript' src='/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script>

          <span class="style57">Username:</span><span class="style57">

          <input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' size='15' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value='' onfocus='if (this.value == 'username="username"') this.value = '';>

          <br />

          Password:

          <input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' size='15' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' />

          <br />

          <input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' />

          Remember Me</span><br />

          <input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' />

          <input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' />

          <input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='1' />

          <input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' />

        </p>

      </form>

      <div align="left" class="style46">

        <div align="center">

          <p><a href="/forums/register.php?"><span class="inbottom">Support ThrillHistory.com &amp; Register Today. It only takes two Minutes! </span></a>

              <? 



} 



?>

Which also uses this.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

chdir("forums/"); 

require('global.php');   

chdir("../");

?>

Now I have tried many times to implement a few of these enhancments onto my website, however I am greeted with the Vbulletin DB error page. Any help?

Sean James · #**278** 04-07-2006, 11:55 AM

i have tried almost everything and for some reason i cant get a stylesheet to work with this, internal or external.

Charmedfan · #**279** 04-08-2006, 03:33 PM

Is there any solution to show HTML on the external page?

djjeffa · #**280** 04-08-2006, 05:26 PM

still wonderin if anyone got this to work on a diffrent domain?

pewp · #**281** 04-17-2006, 01:53 PM
