I dont know if this is a programming question but there it goes. I have VB and i want my homepage to update when there is a new post or topic to help the search engins and users find them from my homepage.. all ideas appreciated and payment is available if needed. - cheers, Andy EDIT: version 3.7 if that helps.
I just found this. It depends what version of VB you have though: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158895 Also, check out the VB mods forum. You might be able to find something there: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=198 There are a few scripts out there that will show the latest posts from your forum on your homepage but the last one I used was for phpBB2.
cheers bud.. i had a quick look on a few pages and couldnt see anything... i will continue but any other sugestions?
Log into your vbulletin admin console, then go to - vbbulletin options - external data provider and enable it. And then read this thread on Implementing the External Data Provider. You have to specify a forum number to pull the data from. http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/vboptions_externaldataprovider_implementing This is going to take a little trial and error, but it does work. I have it implemented on 2 different websites that pull data from my forum.
Thankyou very much indeed kev I will try that shortly.. Is there any chance you can pm me your email for refference?
as you can see.. i was following this tutorial and the stage "Use External Data Provider: YES - type = JavaScript" simply isnt there,,, any sugestions? thanks in advance. EDIT: This is urgent I might add and a SMALL fee could be put in place as an incentive to anyone who has the solution.
