vB Compose External v. 1.0.3 (Updated)

This hack provides an easy way to generate JS-Code for the Javascript syndication system on vB 3. It has been tested with VB 3.0.0 RC 1 and higher.

Features:

  • Complete control of the HTML-code before, after and in between the links to the threads
  • Possibility to enter a maximum-value for the count of threads to be displayed by the administrator
  • Users can choose more than one forum to be displayed
  • Users can choose how many threads to be displayed
  • Users can choose how many characters in the thread title should appear (new in version 1.0.1)
  • Users can choose from three pre-made styles (new in version 1.0.3)
  • Integration into forumdisplay and navbar-templates (new in version 1.0.4)
  • Complete integration in the look and feel of vB 3
  • Phrase-compatibility
Plans for future versions:
  • Option to choose the forums from a pulldown-menü
  • Option to add it to the forum-tools (in order to be able to have the JS-Script created for this specific forum)
  • Options for creating the URLs for XML- and RSS-feeds
  • Adding new features when external.php will be updated with new features
These are the instructions how to install it:
  • New templates: 1
  • Templates to be changed: 2
  • PHP-files to be added: 1
  • Phrases to be added: 23
Step 1:
Insert the phrases using the XML-files. There are phrases for some languages. You can of course translate them to other languages using the phrase-system. If you do so, please send me the XML-files for these translations. I will add them to this ZIP. Right now there are:
  • German
  • English
Please be sure to save the language in the phrase system BEFORE you do so!

Step 2:
Upload the file composeexternal.php in the root of your forum.
Upload the files in the folder /images/composeexternal/ on the server.


Step 3:
Add a new template with the name "composeexternal" and add the content of composeexternal_template.txt (in this zip) to it.

Step 4:
Search for the following code on template forumdisplay:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace with the following code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.



Search for:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Add above:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.



Step 5:

Search for the following code on template navbar:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.




Add below:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.





Credits go to Ypsfanpage.de - a user of our forum. He coded the initial php-file. I ported it to the VB-system and created the php-file and the template.

See the screen-shots below, how it works, or visit our testsite.
