MyBB Community Forums

Well it uses the database of the forum to get the info, so unless you can remotely access the other forums database, then no. Even if you could do that (and I have no idea if you can), it currently relies on the MyBB core to handle the database connection, so you would need to do all that yourself.

Simple question is there a way I can do this but using SSI? As I configurationed apache to handle .shtml files as .portal and I wish to use .portal instead as I know you can include a PHP file in SSI

Exactly how do you mix youre top info and another one? These two:

<?php

    $fid = 2;
    $limit = 5;
    $forumpath = 'forum/';

    chdir($forumpath);
    define("IN_MYBB", 1);
    require('./global.php');
    require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/class_parser.php";
    $parser = new postParser;
    chdir('../');
?>

<?php
chdir('forums'); // path to MyBB
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require './global.php';
?>

It may well be because it is 3:30AM here, but I don't understand your question at all.

I built my site with wordpress. I haven't figured out how to use the user login from my forum inplace of the word press one so I decided to try this code out for the sake of posting news through forums and not wordpress. I run 1.4.8 with the latest patch. I read all 30 pages to figure out what I'm doing wrong and it's aggravating >.< I keep getting this error on the index page

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/stargazer/index.php on line 37

This is the code of the page I want the news to appear on

<?php

    $fid = 13;
    $limit = 5;
    $forumpath = 'forums/';

    chdir('forums/');
    define("IN_MYBB", 1);
    require('./global.php');
    require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/class_parser.php";
    $parser = new postParser;
    chdir('../');
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

        while($row = $db->fetch_array($query))

You need to remove any "TABLE_PREFIX." (minus the quotes) from the code from the first page. The code was for 1.2, not 1.4 so it needs a bit of updating when it is used with 1.4.

MrD. is there a way to use this PHP code inside a SSI?

I have absolutely no idea, I have never used SSI. Sorry.

Out of curiosity, is that a happy Taiga in your avatar?

Nop its not Taiga ^^

One more question MrD. i got the script to work and I am back to PHP I have the script working but I have few questions.

1-I have the code to limit how much text can show but I dont wont a post to end at "wat" this is an example of word "watch" getting cut off do to limit how can I make it show wat"..." have ... as I sticked Read Full Article link so thats not a problem.

2- How can I make http://www.mysite.com/?page=2 this is for showing older news.
3- What line of code can I use to show news under http://www.mysite.com/?news ????

-Thanks
