Newsscript to vBulletin (External script)

[wilth]

Hy there,

we have a self-written newssystem and wanted to use our forum as archive and discussion place for news. So I wrote a little php script which creates a new thread for every newsitem. It's not a big deal:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



And we need a php function html2vb which converts the html to vbCode:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Of course you need to add str_replace for all of your vbCodes.

Hope someone is helped with that :). The best is that you don't need to modify your vBulletin source.

Okay, I've really been wanting to get something like this. I'm not so interested in the thread creation part of this hack, but I am really wanting to link to my threads from my home page and be able to display information like the following:

"News article here"

I would think that there is a line of code from this hack that I should be able to use and just manually put in the forumid and thread strings, but my question is, where would I have my MySQL user information to pull this data. My main page is HTML-based, but PHP-parsed. I'm a bit nervous about embedding my user information in my homepage. Can this or any other hack do what I am asking?

Newbie questions I'm sure, but any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!

Thanks NORRITT,

I do use that LastXX hack but not in that way. If you go to my site at www.mhogaming.com and see where I have "Discuss this Post" after each news story, I would like to replace it with the above mentioned references to vB itself.

Thanks again, hopefully there is an easy way to do this. :)

Hmmm... I'll ask again on that thread, but didn't get any reply to it a week ago.

Thanks...
