call a vBUlletin PHP script from a different php script

[Bhuwan]

I am using require_once .... and it works great, except the phrases arent being displayed...not sure why

Have you setup the vBulletin enviroment properly? You need to fill out the variables below to make sure vBulletin knows what templates and phrases to load.

PHP Code:

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

Those variables are already setup int he script im trying to load (showthread.php for example). Would they need to be setup AGAIN ?

Why are you trying to load showthread.php like that?

just wanna avoid using mod rewrites.

So make a copy of showthread.php and rename it to what you want.

There might be, but when there are easier ways I really dont see a need.

mod_rewrite is the solution you're after.

the problem is that Rewritecond's doesn't handle # properly.

You cant have the # character in a query string. It is a delimiter that the browser uses to scroll.
