I installed the HTL Sidebar hack so I can include different info on the rhs of my forums. However I'm having problems trying to figure out how to include info from the database my main site uses.

I figured I should use the _php_include_start template to include the php file, but the file being included contains the mysql_connect, mysql_select_db functions which cause problems with the rest of the forums.

Can someone explain how to best go about including info from a different db in a sidebar? Thanks.

Am I right in saying that the php_include_start template is the correct template to use at least?

Btw, I figured this out. I needed to create a content feed and include it using javascript. Sorry for brining up an old thread too

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