Hi,

What i basically would like is to have VbExternal - but have it working for 3.5.4 (The latest version) - is there a script that can currently offer this?

VbExternal link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...897#post931897

I'v tried VBExternal - but it's not compatible at the moment.

All I want is to pull threads/posts from my VB forum onto an external web page. Sounds easy enough?

VB version 3.5.4

Hope someone can help.

We use vbexternal with 3.5.4 and it works great. Read through all the post and see if you can find anything that might help you.

What about using RSS...via VB's own built-in functionality, or the enhanced functionality of FPS_External?

I have VBExternal - Moved the contents of the UPLOAd folder into the root of VB i.e /forum/ - then on my home page - had the script to call the latest 5 news posts - but I get this error...

There seems to have been a problem with the database.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Surely this is a database error? - did you change any config/db options before you got vbexternal working ?

Any help would be of a great assistance.

I got the same error. I just didn't bother trying to fix it... takes too long to figure it out... for me anyway.

Try this...

1. Open Vbexternal.php and find:
$config['MasterServer']['servername'],

2. add below:
$config['MasterServer']['port'],

Wow, thank you very much that fixed my problem.

What exactly did that even do?

How would I modify the script if I wanted to show the user's avatar with the News Post listings?

I also finds this not working. Just getting the database error.

Sorry, but:

Code:

grep -i master ../forum/vBExternal.php

...shows up with nothing.
So i didn't 'find' any "$config['MasterServer']['servername']".

What lurks here?

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