I was curious if it would be possible to "Add" a forum, thats not really a forum in vBulletin, but that has external information in it to the main forum.

Basically like the "add a forum that is a link", but you can add custom fields and such?

hum, this could be done with a hack, for sure... basically you can always add these informations in the forum description even if it is a link, so the info will show.

I want to add info into the "latest posts" and "views" columns though, which is why I was asking.

The reason is because I'm accessing another database which is still related to the site, but not exactly related to the forum itself.

how "could" it be done with the hack, other than physically changing forumshow.php, or could it?

a hook can be used to replace the content of the "latest posts" and "views"... that hook would grab the proper info from your other database...

this can't be done on here just by request as the content you need to pull out is not related to vBulletin... you may be able to have someone doing the job by posting a Request for Paid Service

Thanks for the tips.

I'm pretty sure I can do it, I just wanted to know where I should be looking. Should I just put a hook inside the template for the post, and put it under some if conditional?

bump :P i did this under a if conditional like I said, but more and more people have been asking me to release the hack, so I'd like to get it into a hookinstead.

Can anyone help?:P

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