vBExternal v1.6

Well, this doesn't modify any php, nor use a plugin, so i wasn't sure exactly where to stick it

Anyhow, this is a port of the vBExternal for vb 3.0.7, so look at this thread for more information: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=81943

Enjoy

Well people have been asking this question for the last 18 months with no replies so I doubt I'll fare any better but hey, it's worth a go

Does anyone know how to modify this so that it will display the number of logged in users and the number of guests in the output_UsersOnline().

Cheers

There was an error while processing vBExternal:

Gto this working in 5 mins, follow instructions in USAGE file then amend the DB details (as mhamdi said) in the VBExternal.php.

I'm running a clean install of 3.6.4

My problem was fixed using 2 important items:

1) Download this version https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=27032

The others versions does not work in 3.6.4

2) Use fix from WorkRelated

Is vbExternal.php available anywhere to include the HTML Markup tags for like the Admins, Super Mods, and Mods? Or does anyone the select statement to do this??? Thanks!

Hey cool! FYI, I just spent the past hour trying to get this and the Deluxe (Or Simple) external login support working together.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108026

Well it was said that the login access and the vbexternal would not work together and that no luck figuring it out.

Well.. I just did. Least i dont know if its been posted or not. This is tested on the 3.5.x forums. However, I would believe it should work on 3.6 as well since its including the main files that 3.6 uses.

The modification is this.

In the vBExternal.php file.

Find:

// ---------------------------------------------------
// Start Set PHP Environment
// ---------------------------------------------------

Then scroll down and find: 

// ---------------------------------------------------
// End Require Globalized Settings
// ---------------------------------------------------

Highlight everything you just found and the inbetween and delete it.

Your file should start now with just:

	// ---------------------------------------------------
	// Start Globalized Function - LoadTemplate
	// ---------------------------------------------------

(Then the rest of its code below)

What you just did was get rid of the conflict between the login from the user access login and the standalone vbexternal. Now these will work together 100% and "should" be 3.6 safe.

The proof and demo is http://forums.qj.net/portal/

Im still working on alot more atm on that page.. but you can see that its working. Someone tell me if this makes sense the fix or if it works on 3.6 or if I need to explain more. =)

I have this running on 3.6.4 but have one question.

I have a forum that all threads are moderated. I'm using vBExternal to show the posts on my home page. Problem is, is that when someone posts to this forum, vBExternal currently shows the thread even though the moderator hasn't approved it yet? How can I get the display of this thread to only occur after the threads have been approved?
