How to get your latest posts from vbulletin via RSS

AzzX — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 05:18:53 +0000

You need to enable the External Data Provider in your vbulletin settings in order for this to work.

RSS2

http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/external.php?lastpost=true&type=rss2

Example: http://www.ozsource.org/forums/external.php?lastpost=true&type=rss2

RSS

http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/external.php?lastpost=true&type=rss

Example: http://www.ozsource.org/forums/external.php?lastpost=true&type=rss

To display only new posts use external.php?newpost=true&type=rss instead.

Now how do you get this into wordpress?

Out of the box, WordPress can retrieve and pass an RSS feed. WordPress uses the MagpieRSS and RSSCache functions for parsing and automatic caching and the Snoopy HTTP client for the actual retrieval. See Fetch_rss.

A code sample to fetch your 10 latest posts:

include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
$rss = fetch_rss('http://www.your domain.com/forums/external.php?lastpost=true&type=rss');
$maxitems = 10;
$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $maxitems);
?>

Vbulletin Integration – CMS ’s and Portals

AzzX — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:06:58 +0000

I bought a vbulletin license a while back in order to update OzSource to something a bit more advanced, the issue was trying to give this forum script a home/portal page as an entry point for a community and with my limited coding ability, I set apon google to find potential ways to achieve this:

vbadvanced

vBadvanced CMPS is quite a popular portal for vbulletin which can pull threads from various forums and populate a front page. Quite a few different modules are available for it though it lacks the ability to create articles and categories. The $49.99 vBadvanced Dynamics has this feature available from vbadvanced also.

vbdrupal

An integration of the popular cms Drupal and vbulletin. Quite a powerful solution though difficult to master in the short term. Currently integrated with Drupal 5.7 and can use your vbulletin style.

VBcms

A similar module based system to that of vbadvanced though costs approximately US$75. Seems to be quite polished, a good alternative.

Ajaportal

AJA is a free Portal/Content Management System (CMS) which can stand alone or smoothly integrates with the most popular forum softwares such as vBulletin, Invision Power Board , phpBB, Simple Machines. Haven t tried it though certainly looks interesting. It’s a fork of PHP Nuke which has had a lot of negative criticism in recent years. Forks like Raven Nuke have proven to be secure so this could be one to watch.
