Display your active threads on any html page


This will put your latest X threads on any html page as long as you have your external RSS on for JavaScript.. You should have this enabled anyways if you care about SEO.

This is how you enabled or check your settings if you are unsure.


Admin Control Panel > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Admin Control Panel Options > Use External Data Provider:
YES - type = JavaScript


Add this code to any html page you want. I've added it in our sidecolumn.
This code will show who posted and the time and a little icon. I've edited this code some to cleans things up.

PHP Code:
<!-- show latest active threads -->
<
table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<
tbody>
<
tr>
<
td colspan="2">
<
a href="search.php?do=getnew">Latest Active Threads</a>
</
td>
</
tr>
</
tbody>
<
tbody>
<
tr>
 
<
td width="100%">
 
<
div>
<
script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?type=js"></script> 
<script language="" type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (var x in threads)
{
document.writeln("<a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> (Posted By: "+threads[x].poster+")<br />");
}
//-->
</script></div>
 
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- show latest active threads -->
</table>
<br /> 
This is what I've used on the side panel.

if you would like to limit the # of threads
find:
PHP Code:
for (var x in threads
and change to

PHP Code:
for (010x++) 
change the 10 to w/e you want.

to limit this to selected forums
look for:

PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?type=js"></script> 
and change to:

PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?forumids=95,96,97,98&type=js"></script> 
change the 95,96,97.. to the forumID's that you want.

Enjoy

Re: Display your active threads on any html page


I do not have this...

Admin Control Panel > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Admin Control Panel Options > Use External Data Provider:
YES - type = JavaScript


Found it. It isn't under Admin Control Panel Options... it is under External Data Provider for me on 3.6.7 PL1


Enable External Javascript
This setting allows you to enable/disable the Javascript content syndication system that allows you to embed vBulletin data in HTML pages.

Mine is set to no. Guess I need it to be yes for more search?

Another thing.

Enable RSS Syndication
This setting allows you to enable/disable the RSS content syndication system.

That is set to no....


Enable Podcasting (RSS Enclosure)
This option includes the first attachment of each thread as an enclosure within RSS2 feeds. This is the method by which Podcasting is enabled for your forums. iTunes specific settings are configured per forum in the Forum Manager.

set to yes...


and lastly

Enable XML Syndication
This setting allows you to enable/disable the XML content syndication system.

Set to no...


What are the reccomended? All to yes? Or just the java and podcasting?

Arm twisting community members into posting
Re: Display your active threads on any html page


In case you want to display threads that have received new posts (that would also include latest posted topics), instead of just displaying newest posted topics, do the following:

Find:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?type=js"></script>
Replace with:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?type=js&lastpost=1"></script>

Re: Display your active threads on any html page


Works great!

Is there any way I can have it display thread posts and view counts as well?

Re: Display your active threads on any html page


This works perfectly!

Just wanted to thank Brandon for posting it and bumping it for those that might need this.

Edited: By the way, is there anyway to make the font smaller? I have a smaller block that I want to fit this in, so the font makes the lines all go to 2 lines (even though I know that the longer the title the more likely it'll go to 2 lines).

Any suggestions?
