importing from different sites

[tomshawk]

Hello;

If possible I really need a script that will allow me to import a backend.php file from a phpnuke site, into my site.
Also a script that will allow me to import an external.php file from another vBulletin site.

I can figure out how to get it into a block but I need the scripts themselves.

any help would be most greatly appriciated.

Thank you

you are looking for an RSS syndication script....
find an open source RSS aggregator PHP script and just put it inside a block...

Hello, Thank you for the thought

I found a good script, CaRP

http://www.mouken.com/rss/carp/

It is actually quite powerful, but I've tryed and tryed , though I thought it would be easy, I can not figure out how to integrate this.

I set up a quick test page with the simple script http://www.tomshawk.com/test.php and it works great, but

I can not figure out how to get a template to pull this information.

the info in the test.php page is

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once "/home/tomshawk/carp/carp.php";
CarpCacheShow('http://securelyspeaking.com/backend.php');
?>

any help would be greatly appriciated

Hello:

I was told I can not call this directly from within a template

I was told to either put this content into a file and call it from phpinclude_start or put this content into the phpinclude_start directly and assign either to a variable I can call from the template I want it in.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Bump.

I really need this to incorporate some sister sites.

Please!!!

I'm willing to pay

I have created a couple of hacks for doing this.

Once I figured out how, it got easy.

It was just the learning curve, that took a while

The second link I have above, explains what to do, in reply to this thread.

The first one, is a much better solution IMHO
