Hi guys, So new MyBB user here. I am trying to move away from PHPBB and on to MyBB.
At the moment I am using a custom RSS JCarousel script. You can see it in action at www.fwkzt.org
Now I know MyBB 1.8 doesn't like PHP straight out the box so I installed the PHP and Template Conditionals (2.0) plugin to enable me entering PHP into MyBB.
Now the problem I have is that I have a ?> with in my <?php ?> tags and the plugin thinks this is a end of php tag and closes it off. So only a portion of the PHP script is called.
Is there a work around I can look in to or a different PHP plugin? I would really hate to use some shitty RSS feed widget instead of JCarousel as it's awesome.
Here is my script which is used:
