The Latest Forum Discussions... · **Released**: 12-15-2005

I don't really know if such an Extension is already available but I don't think so. I was looking for a way to display the latest forum discussions on my Homepage - not in my vB forum. I didn't use CMPS. Another user told me that he paid for this feature because he wasn't able to find it here. However it's very easy to code this, so I did it.

This Hack uses some parts of the PEAR Database Abstraction Layer. This isn't really necessary. You could do all with the standard php functions. So you don't have to use this additional 3 files. But PEAR is a very nice class library

This release is alpha state. So far it works fine. But I coded this hack in the last 30 minutes. So it could be that there is some room for improvements...

Take a look at http://www.gamebanshee.com/ for a demo.

Bye

Can we get this for the latest version of VB or can someone point me to something like it. I'm getting a connection failed error and there is no reason it should be doing so.

Very good mod. Worked perfectly first time.
Just trying to make it fit with my site ( http://www.gmodcentral.com/gmod/forumtest.php )

nice hack! Does it support external mysql connections? I want to install this hack on a remote server and have it display the latest threads from my vbulletin forum which is located at a different server (obviously!)

Thanks

i installed this code here > http://www.cormacmoylan.com/beta/forum/
which is taking the latest posts from here > http://www.blaa.ie/forum

There is a problem though. It's showing 5 threads but it's showing 5 threads from earlier this month. It's not displaying the latest threads. Do you know how to fix this up?

I was wondering if it was possible to use this hack to track the latest posts by MODERATORS only? If not would you know of any?

Regards,
Justin

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