News Out - posts from forum(s) on any page · **Released**: 05-13-2004

This script will let you pull the first posts from threads in a forum and display them on a non-vb page anywhere on your site.

For example you can use this to pull posts from a forum and display them as news. (Each post in the forum is a news item).

Currently it will pull them on the basis of thread start date.

This is very rough and ready. But maybe someone will find it useful.

If you read the code and comments you can do things like strip out tags, snip the post off after the first para etc etc.

You can choose to write out to a file or to write to screen. You can pull stuff from one or many forums.

I'll try and answer any questions that come up, but this is a beta so....

have you did any changes in the mod except the database info and the file location?

does your vb db use a prefix? If so see my previous post.

Nice hack man but I do have one question for ya , its pulling the post thread as if it was in a forum link , and not displaying the entire post like it should.

http://ladders.modcentral.us/

which is pulling the info from http://forum.modcentral.us

You will see it has the link but the link is also pulling to the wrong page also.....

Everything else is working fine thou....

madhouse - you got this working??

*wonders* Wanna help us out? LOL

I've been trying to figure this out for days ...

*laughs*

EDIT:

Maybe I should have explained what I'm having trouble with, lol.

I'm trying to figure out what and how exactly am I supposed to merge this file into a VB-Powered but outside the forums page... I've tried everything I could think of, lol ... $towrite, $writenews, and so on...

First did you make sure you have your paths set correctly?

Second make sure you read thru the entire script as there are certain things you need to uncomment in order for it to work.

House_of_Crazed · #48 10-10-2004, 10:56 PM

Yes.

The custom portal is outputting the posts, but not where I want it to be outputted to. It needs to be at a specific spot, and so far, it's being a pain.

You got it working on your site, so it should be working fine here. I have gone over the script like 50 times.

madhouse · #49 10-10-2004, 11:49 PM

Depends were you are inplementing the script line on your page

House_of_Crazed · #50 10-11-2004, 12:04 AM

Question tho...

Should I have commented the echo $towrite; line ?

Then put $towrite where I want it to be at ??

Because I did try that and it just didn't do what i wanted it to do.

LOL

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