For vBull 2 - Generic vBull Comunity Page

Here is an easy setup to put a lot of Vbull content onto another page. You can use it to make an easy index page with some quick modification or just to access information quickly...

I realize that there are already a lot of similar hacks out there, but I felt like sharing.

You can see an example of this script here:
http://www.onandoffroad.com/GVCP/

You can get the files by downing them from the posts later in this thread where I have them in an attatched zip.

( I used to have the code posted here, but it has grown enough since then as to not fit as posted code anymore. )

Hi Imp,

The printer friendly version would be like it is in the forums themselves I would think. A link to that thread in printer version format would work fine. It would print only that one article, review etc.... The email to a friend or whatever would be about the same. That would be my guess. Really, the functions in the forums for each individual thread is perfect already. About like that with the code within the *.config or the News.php's would be super.

Cheers,
Hooper....

Wow... Went to your test page. Already had the printer and email a friend done.

Here's a zip of a new version of thisscript.

It's about 90% of where I want it. Only current grip is that after emailing a news to a friend it dumps you back at the forum, not back at the news page... But I figure that's a little thing, and not worth holding up the wheel of progress...

Appreciated. You've done alot of work today. I'm sure you'll figure out the other. Amazing going from what I posted to 90% done.

And very much appreciated. I'll let you know how it goes for me tomarrow.

Thank You,
Hooper

I get a couple of errors

No rush at all, since the previous version is working.

This script rules!!

Hi,

Ignore my previous post. It seems to be something to do with me loging out to see if the register form was working.

It works as well as the previous version, only for some code printed at the bottom of the page.

Juan,

I see the errors... I'll see if I can fix that.

BTW for future reference would people prefure I combine as many sub scripts into one file as possible or leave things in smaller easier to descifer little peices?

I see the smaller multiple files as easier to work with, and scan through if I want to make tweeks, but it does make more clutter un the server... what do you guys think?

Here Juan, try these files... You shouldn't have to update the config...

I think the way you are doing it is fine. You have to realize that this is going to get picked apart anyhow. This is one of those...what should we say hack for hackers. Having all main, links, etc... calls just from one file most likely won't make it any easier. I think the seperate files is the best way to go. I can understand what you were thinking just by looking at the index.php.

That is just my two cents.
But of course I may think different before this is all over.
Thanks Again,
Hooper
