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

I cant get this to work at all, not with filling out the dbase instructions or whatever

I'ts either a blank page or a dbase error, not going to bother anymore ;(

I just can't get this to work.

I have uploaded the folder and the file in my forums root.

Then on the web page I want to use these templates I have this code:

Code:

</head>

<body>
<?php
chdir('http://soniccagedome.com/forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
?>
<table bord....

....<td class="bodymiddle" style="height:408px;"><?php
output_NewestMembers(5);
?></td>....

And I am getting this error:

Code:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/soniccag/public_html/dev7/site/index.php on line 157

Warning: main(./vBExternal.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/soniccag/public_html/dev7/site/index.php on line 158

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './vBExternal.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/soniccag/public_html/dev7/site/index.php on line 158

This error can be seen @:
http://www.soniccagedome.com/dev7/site/

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

BTW I am using vB Version 3.6.4.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

chdir('http://soniccagedome.com/forums');

require_once('./vBExternal.php');

?>

to

PHP Code:


			
<?php

chdir('/path/to/your/forums');

require_once('./vBExternal.php');

?>

change "/path/to/your/forums/" to whatever is the path to your forums not the URL to your forums

This seems to have worked, however, there is a new problem:

http://www.soniccagedome.com/dev7/site/

It just says 'Database Error', doesn't tell me what it is. Do you think it is because of the forums version difference?

Nice one. Works a dream!

Now, I want to limit a thread title to a certain amount of characters. Can anyone help me out with this?

Also, how about adding the total users online stat and amount of guests online stat to the users online function

upnorth · #**419** 04-02-2007, 07:56 PM

Anyone able to help me with this. Seems like it would be an easy fix....just can't get my head around what I need to do to make this happen though.

It was just the template i was using. but now a few includes are scrambled randomly around the page.

Zizou_SCD · #**421** 04-04-2007, 12:52 AM

Has anyone written a piece of code that will limit the length of a result? E.G. Cut the length of a topic title from 50 to 20 characters:

HOT NEWS COMI....

Like that.
