The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

I'm kinda new to this so bear with me if I have asked this in the wrong place or the answer is obvious. Has anybody created a RSS, XML, or Javascript feed that will allow me to show the newest and/or most active threads in my forums on a site outside of vBulletin. I'm using vBulletin as discussion forums on a news site and I'd like to include some feeds out of vBulletin on to the news site itself.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

Search for 'vBExternal'.

it's already built it. in your admincp go to vBulletin Options > External data provider and turn on which ever options you want to use.

The link you need for the feed will be one of

external.php?do=rss
external.php?do=rss2
external.php?do=xml
external.php?do=js

Prefix these pages with the URL to your forum and then you can use the feeds anywhere that you want.

Oh yeah, I've forgotten about that - I like to display thread snippets instead.

Depending on how you format it, you can display loads of things with them. I'm working on something completely new for my site using them at the moment.

Let us in on it if you get it working, that'd be so much simpler.

I will, but I'm not saying that it will be an easy install. Some of it is pretty horrendous code at the moment although it works.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
