Hey,

My site has previously used phpBB for the upmost part of the backend - news system, user system and whatnot, and, it's done us well up until now, but we feel vBulletin would be the better choice for our site.
Everything is going fine - user system adapted and whatnot, only problem, I can't seem to work out how to pull the news from the forum with the id of two. the news needs to display like this:

News Title
Written by post Author
<first post of the thread here>
(number of replies to thread) Replies (<-- this links to the thread)

This may seem a bit of a daunting request but could you possibly help us out in coding this system? It's a simple script I bet and i'm messing up on something silly.

Thanks alot,

Andy

Um. Try RSS:

http://www.yoursite.tld/forum_dir/ex...php?forumids=2

Than use a language or something to manipulate that to show what you want...

Thanks for the reply but when I type in my details of the link you gave me it just comes up with a blank page.

Is RSS already installed n vBulletin or do I have to install it.

Andy

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