The external data provider will only 'post' show that are in forums that unregistered users may view. Since none of your forums are viewable by the public, there is nothing in your external.php page.

What is supposed to in the external.php?? i am so confused.

If you are wondering what the external.php usually shows, see the one here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external.php

Sorry i had typo's i meant what is supposed to go on my external page or how do i get it there?

[Lynne]

The external page just shows new threads on your forums. If you look at the link I posted for the external.php page on here, you'll see the lastest threads shown there (actually, it is set up to only show the latest modifications, but that is a custom modification here). It's a page for RSS feeds to use.

So we have to put a certain html code inside the external.php page right? for it to show up. I am trying to figure out why mine is blank

Are your forums viewable to guests?

Okay it has to viewable to guest?

As I said in post 2, if your forums aren't viewable to guests, then your external.php page will not show anything.
