vBExternal v1.6

Well, this doesn't modify any php, nor use a plugin, so i wasn't sure exactly where to stick it

Anyhow, this is a port of the vBExternal for vb 3.0.7, so look at this thread for more information: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=81943

Enjoy

Anyone have any ideas how to filter out posts that need to be moderated?

I have a forum that all threads are moderated. I'm using vBExternal to show the posts on my home page. Problem is, is that when someone posts to this forum, vBExternal currently shows the thread even though the moderator hasn't approved it yet? How can I get the display of this thread to only occur after the threads have been approved?

I got this working on the latest ver (after using the solution found here regarding the order of the variables).

Question: Can I display the actual TEXT of the post as opposed to just the thread name?

I see the variables he defied (which he then calls in the template), but I dont see one for the actual TEXT of the post... using the samples below, what would the the variable?

'post' => $News[???????????????????????????????????],

These are some of the ones defined:

'threadid' => $Thread['threadid'],
'threadname' => $Thread['title'],
'postuserid' => $Thread['postuserid'],
'postusername' => $Thread['postusername'],
'replies' => vb_number_format($Thread['replycount']),
'views' => vb_number_format($Thread['views']),
'lastposter' => $Thread['lastposter'],

change all instaces of

PHP Code:

 'threadname'   =>  $Thread['title'], 


to this

PHP Code:

'threadname'   =>  substr($Thread['title'],0,20), 


change the 20 to whatever you want.
