The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Hi guys.

I've just bought vBulletin and is almost ready to launch my site but i would like to know how i can show recent threads on a normal html/php page where each post is either in a seperate table or in a UL so i can style them.

I've found one solution - But it puts all posts in one table and offers almost no styling.

Thanks

There is something like this - [HowTo] Display your latest threads on an external page using an RSS feed Sometimes you need to change things a little bit to suit your own style.

Thanks for the link. But i can't get it to work.

It works if i don't replace the RSS file with my own forums. Then it displays the threads - but as soon as i replace it with my own http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/...l.php?type=rss nothing shows up. If i open the link in my browser it does however show me the latest threads in rss. So i don't understand why i can't see it on my page? I only have 3 threads at the moment. Could this be the problem?

EDIT: After further testing i can see that not all my posts get into the RSS Feed.. What am i doing wrong?

The RSS feed only does threads, not posts.

I can't get to your site at all. I keep getting redirected to google.com. Very weird.

As i am moderating it at the moment i'm redirecting all trafic to google

i've removed it until this is fixed. So you should be able to see it now!

Well its ok that it only does threads its just weird that in my forum i now have 12 threads and only 3 of them show up in the rss. http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/...l.php?type=rss

But - typing in rss2 at last some of the other posts are there

http://www.swtorcommunity.com/forum/....php?type=rss2

But a couple are still missing? I guess its the external syndication i've done something wrong to?

Maybe you should look in the modifications threads and find one that just does a query to grab the threads instead of using the rss feed. (That's what I do for my home page.)

Can i ask which one you use?

--------------- Added [DATE]1229193991[/DATE] at [TIME]1229193991[/TIME] ---------------

Now all of a sudden it has updated. So i made a new post and it hasn't showed up yet. So i guess its like the RSS feed updates very slowly?

I didn't use one from here. I wrote my own cuz I have specific needs in which threads are grabbed and what information is needed.
