UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support Stand-alone Content Islands for HTML pages

Hello All (and Rick)

7.1 looks great and can't wait to install it on our network

I used to be able to display Content Islands on the right homepage of each site within New Zealand's Information Network like you see on the sample sites listed below.

New Zealand's Information Network
Golden View Motel
Airport Garden Inn Hotel & Conference Centre

All I did is add this code

The pages I am using for the Websites is HTML and I cannot see how to use the new code given rss1.xml code to achieve the same result. If you look through the sample sites provided you will see I have made full use of the wrappers that you can display around each individual message board, the way we run our Network is as a group. Every Website within our Network has its own Message Board which points back to the main Message Board of New Zealand's Information Network.

It works really well, however, being able to have a content island on the top right hand side is a great way for each individual Website owner to get their Message Board seen and used. Any help much appreciated.

If you are clever enough to give me a hand in pulling the rss1.xml content from the file to display in a box I would be most grateful if you could post it here.

Maybe

To use the HTML format as a Server Side Include:or

To use the HTML format as a PHP Include:
???

Please help ;-)

Javascript islands aren't in threads7; they where in classic, a seperate forum solution which is EOL.

The islands themselves can be inserted into other pages by selecting the "External Use" link next to the item in the control panel; it will give you the code you need to insert into a php page.

I have a small "how to" on grabbing all the items you need at ubbdev in the templates section which lives in the addons section.

So I can pull the PHP plugin when displaying a html page like you see I have done at http://www.arrowtown-nz.co.nz/

Also I have 80 websites I use like the one above, so I can use the External Use option for each message board with my forum?

I have a look and could not find the posting, I love this message board and have been using it for YEARS

I would love to be able to just get the right php code so i could display the last 5 topics posted in each message board for each site I look after.

Happy to paid if i can get what I already have so I can move on and install 7.2

Well, with the external use you can't use it cross site; your best bet there is to make a php page on the site with the forum, and have your other sites use a php include() to grab that file.

adding cross site capability for site x's content island y, would be possible, with a mod.

i've done this for my blog (bleeding edge, just for kicks one), to pull in content from various ubbt sites (all diff domains).

if you ask over at ubbdev, it might work out for you. i think i used SOAP, but would have to re-visit. might have been xml-rpc instead, which is even simpler.. bleh, can't remember

you may want to think about json-rpc as a simpler mechanism too. that gives you a 2-way (if you could dream up a why you'd need it)
