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

instead of -> Access denied for user: 'username@localhost' (Using password: YES)

it is showing -> Access denied for user: 'your-db-password@localhost' (Using password: YES)

There is a slight problem with the script and i have a temporary solution.

****** TEMPORARY SOLUTION ******

find your old /includes/class_core.php file (VB3.5RC or Beta) and change the name (for example -> /includes/class_core-old.php) then upload to server.

then open vBexternal.php and
find :
require_once('./includes/class_core.php);
change to:
require_once('./includes/class_core-old.php);


as i said, this is a temporary solution but it is working.

gah, i don't have my old class_core. can anyone attach it here?

I was using this in 3.0x and upgraded to 3.5 and this version to find it does not work with gold. I don't have an old 3.5x class_core either.

Is this still supported by the author? I tried installing this yesterday to use with 3.5 and have run into the same database problems as others have.

[chanzero]

here's class_core.php from 3.5 RC2 which worked for me

mods, if this is against the rules i apologize (and feel free to remove, obviously)

This old class_core results in DB connect issues for me.

Try this one from my RC3, it's the one I use and is as close to GOLD release as you're going to get without the bug. Sadly this is no solution and I hope the author returns to this wonderful mod and fixes it since there's not much in the way of alternatives.

Remember to place it under the /includes dir as usual and change the call inside the vBE file to it.

[jugo]

that is not the proper way to get this running.

That core file is crucial to vBulletin and by replacing the new one with an old one, may in fact create bigger problems for you.

I am going to install it on mine and play with it. If I can come up with a solution I willpost it here.

I'm a bit lost on this one... :ermm:

My forum is at www.phonexpo.net/index.php & my main site is at www.phonexpo.net (welcome.html file name).

It says;

How To Use vBExternal:
First the webpage you use it on must be php, if it is .htm/.html just re-name the extension to .php
Next step is to call the file, in this example we assume that your site is: http://hello.com, and your
forum is located at: http://hello.com/forums, so insert this code at the very top of our php file:
<?php
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
?>

So do I have to change the welcome.html file name to welcome.php ?

[solokron]

That or parse html as php via a .htaccess rule.

At the moment this extension does not work with 3.5 gold anyhow so don't waste your time.
