Announcing VBExtern

I'm guessing you have to have the .php extension on all the pages you want this code included. Just a guess, but you'll have to wait until Mas*Mind can tell you officially.

Mas,

I am dying for this script. I don't want to bug you because I know you are getting paid a lot of money for this script

Any more word on a compleation date?

Thanks!

I, too am eagerly anticipating this hack... It looks great, exactly what I am looking for. Good luck, man!

[JackG]

Yup, this sounds like a great idea -
Can't wait for it to be ready!

Yeah, it's been, like, months now. Guess he's pretty busy nevertheless.

It's comming on. Can't say when but it's coming on

After looking at your examples, I thought I'd suggest putting the script into a function. Instead of including the script multiple times, just include it once and call the function more than once:

PHP Code:

include_once ("vbextern.php");

vbextern ("asc", "topthreads", $max="25");
vbextern ("asc", "listusers", $max="10", $memberorder="posts"); 


Just a suggestion, but since many people will likely use multiple features of the script, it seemed logical.

Also, is there any way to allow users to get full posts emailed to them? Like, if i want to receive this thread by email, any time a post is made i get the full post mailed to me?

That would be a nice feature... I'm myself will be looking into adding it

One downside. That would be hard on a busy server, unless you used an SMTP server. But, even then, if you have a lot of big threads, and a busy forum, you will need to send tons of those out a day. Just a point.
