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

Had problems with this hack for 3.6

the problem was with $db->connect the variables are out of order.
the replace the $db-connect with the following:

$db->connect(
$config['Database']['dbname'],
$config['MasterServer']['servername'],
$config['MasterServer']['usepconnect'],
$config['MasterServer']['username'],
$config['MasterServer']['password'],
$config['SlaveServer']['servername'],
$config['SlaveServer']['usepconnect'],
$config['SlaveServer']['username'],
$config['SlaveServer']['password'],
$config['Mysqli']['ini_file']
);

Alright, I've read almost the whole thread and didn't find an answer to what I need: If I want to install this in forumdisplay (using the left-side bar)

Where do I add this:

PHP Code:

<?php
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
?>

Header or Forumdisplay template?

And second, since it is on the same folder as the page where I'll add it, what should I change the path to (chdir('./forums'); to what?)?

Thanks a lot.

Trying to run this on 3.6 and get either database error, or if I make values " '/forums and/vBexternal', I get

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/2.php on line 2

Warning: main(/vBExternal.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/2.php on line 3

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? (bangs head.. knows it must be something simple)

To this:

        $SQL = " where forumid NOT in({$Forums})";
        } 


Just tested this and it doesn't work.

For those of you who have had this hack working on 3.5 and then upgraded to 3.6, how did the transition go? Did you need to change anything in your configuration?

I've been running the same version since early 3.5.0. I've had no problems all through the 3.5.x series, and currently no problems on 3.6.1.
