Hi,

I'm looking for a way to use the RSS or JS in the external.php to create links to threads in one of my forums. The links would be on a different domain to the forum domain.

Is this possible and if it is could someone please explain or point me to where I can follow some kind of instructions on how to do it?

I have searched for this, but generally in threads people reply with pointless things that are no actual help.

Thanks.

Another question lol.

The thread that I want to display constantly has threads added/deleted. When I delete the threads the link to it stays on the html page, is it meant to do this? If it is, is there any way to stop it from doing that?

Well yea there is but.....

since those script rely on external.php the only way for it top update instant is to set the external cache to 0secs. It will add a bit of load to your server is the downside. Perhaps something like every 30 seconds or 60 seconds wouldn't be as bad but it really just depends on how much traffic your website gets.

Any idea what your hosting server specs are?

Lol it did update it, but took ages. More than 60 seconds even.

At the moment my hosting is being stupid. The server load time has gone through the roof.

Anyway thanks again for your help

yeah, like I said you can adjust that in Options -> External Data Provider -> Cache Lifespan. It should update it a lot quicker that way. But again your server load will increase since it is updating that all the time.

Who do you have for a webhost? I've had mine set on 1 min and my host just laughs it off
