You can insert many webqueries inside 1 webtemplates though.

yes

It would be a mistake because then hack would be dependable to vb template system and if they change it in the future (v. 3?), hack would be useless.
And there is no need for that either. If you need to use a vb template, simply copy/paste its contents to your webtemplate.

mhh I have a problem, i will make a news or a portal with vb, but how I can I have the same functions as in VBB?
When I select text from the database, I have the raw text and nothing is substitute..... :-(

That's right. Header and footers are not designed to be parsed. If you need to run a webquery in header, do not use a header. Just make 1 webtemplate including your header, webtemplates etc and use that one without header.

wonderful... no it's right and ok ....

You have already mentioned that, I noted it.. It's not an important bug either. Just always use lower case..

yes i forgot the other key with...do you know what i mean... _-)

you can see the problem with....

I know.. That is what I already told: You cant = can NOT! You read it wrong..

You really have a enthusiasm for this hack, dont you? lol I dont believe you designed all your site around this hack and now try to use it as a news script! You make me proud, thank you..

However this hack is not designed to be a news script so I dont think it can handle this job very well.. If you need a news script for your site, I can send you another hack of mine (not published here) which is designed just for pulling news threads from your vb db, to your non-vb news page. It can parse smileys etc, so I think it is exactly what you want. You can see it in action in my site's main page. Site is not english, but you'll get how the script is doing.

3. to much space between ??var1?? and ??var1??
sample: original Downloads: ??var1?? in html
Downloads: ??var1??

Himm I see now. If you didnt create that space intentionaly, it can be a bug.

so ..i just want to tell you..that i cant see any bug in this amazing hack...i like it and i will integrate in in my Whole site....
but to make things perfect you should release a big Web-Queries-Pack-HAck..with much queries for all users who need some more Web-Queries for the beginning...

[Highlander]

hi its me again.. i think i know why not much users install this hack..if it is really so..i just show this hack and some results with it..to my 2nd Admin..an I had to explain and explain what mighty this thing could be..and he understood it slowly...maybe ..it missunderstood....but i am very happy that i found this hack, when i sufed the beta hacks....in the next days this hack will change much thing on the rest of my non-Vb sites..but for that i have to move all content on one Webserver..

Ahh there is a questions...it is possible to link Webtemplates and Webqueries from another Webserver ? So it would be very usefull not to move much contents of my site to the Webserver where my Board is.

Hiyas,

make things perfect you should release a big Web-Queries-Pack-HAck

The possibilities with WebQueries is infinitive. You may want to use millions of different queries from your database just limited with your imagination. Therefore I cant release WebQueries pack, but this thread is for this purpose: You can share your "favorite" webqueries with other users or ask here how to create a webquery that you need in your board but cant figure out how to do it. But the best practise is to learn the usage of SQL query "SELECT". It wont take you more than 30 minutes and you'll see that afterwards, you can do 90% percent of the queries you needed by yourself.

it is possible to link Webtemplates and Webqueries from another Webserver ?

Nope sorry not possible at the moment. If you know PHP, you may regard making modifications in the file "show.php" and then it may be possible, but it will require a lot of modifications.

Actually this design of the hack is intentional: You can command everything about your site from your vb CP and integrate your whole site into vb. So seperating the webtemplates and vbulletin clashes with this purpose.

and he understood it slowly...maybe ..it missunderstood....

I know that this hack is an "advanced hack" and will not charm the newbies. But its power comes from this property of the hack and I really cant make it simplier. I just tried to create an easy installation, similiar usage like in vb templates and pre-made detailed help pages and I really cant think of anything to make the hack more easily comprehended.

you are right..but now when the first things finished..my admins just see the power of it..i will xreate an little admin robot..maye with some talking when specific queries are hit..it will be like in TV .. i come to my adminsitration and a voice is talking to me..

Use the same webquery as "_privateevents" and change the Query Section to:

SELECT eventid, eventdate, subject FROM calendar_events WHERE userid="$user_userid" AND public="1" ORDER BY eventdate DESC;

This query will return public events posted by the viewer. If you want to return all public events according to today's date, you have to wait for the next version, hack does not include "today's date" variable yet, but I'll include it soon..

thx...how can i integrate other PHP sites on external webservers? for now i managed it with frames..ist there a way ?
