hmm ok I'll try it again
Marine is my code right?
<?php
require_once('MyBBLatest.class.php');
$mybb = new MyBBLatest('forum', 'http://www.mywebsite.com /forum/');
echo $mybb->threads();
echo $mybb->posts();
?>
Hello hmm Do I need to put the class content inside the body?
like for example
<body>
class content here
</body>
or I will just paste exactly the class content code that is posted on the 1st page?
Don't know anything about php sorry.
Oh I finally solved it! I tried putting a slah on the forum and it works!
<?php
require_once('MyBBLatest.class.php');
$mybb = new MyBBLatest('forum/', 'http://www.mywebsite.com /forum/');
echo $mybb->threads();
echo $mybb->posts();
?>

<?php
require_once('MyBBLatest.class.php');
$mybb = new MyBBLatest('mybb', 'http://localhost/mysite/mybb/');
echo $mybb->threads();
echo $mybb->posts();

echo $mybb->threads();
<h3>Latest posts</h3>
echo $mybb->posts();
<h3>Latest threads from X</h3>
echo $mybb->threads(5, true, 2);
<h3>Latest posts from forum X</h3>
echo $mybb->posts(5, 2);

my board installed location is:
localhost/mysite/mybb
I use this part :
require_once('MyBBLatest.class.php');
$mybb = new MyBBLatest('mybb', 'http://localhost/mysite/mybb/');
echo $mybb->threads();
echo $mybb->posts();
<h3>Latest threads</h3>
echo $mybb->threads();
<h3>Latest posts</h3>
echo $mybb->posts();
<h3>Latest threads from X</h3>
echo $mybb->threads(5, true, 2);
<h3>Latest posts from forum X</h3>
echo $mybb->posts(5, 2);
in a separate php file to connect however it gives an error in line 8.
This coding is a grate work if it works. Please help me make it real, and I m still new to myBB and I started to use this forum just 2 days ago. Some instructions make me confused!!. PLEASE PLEASE help me to make it a real, Please tell me step by stem more clearly than in your original instructions.
Thanks in advanced!
hmm is there a way also to get the username of the one post it and date he posted it?
Thanks again!
marines, have you found out why the updating stops after upgrading the main script?
it's very strange. i've done upgrade 1.4.4 -> 1.4.5 -> 1.4.6 -> 1.4.7 while using my class and it worked great every time. :/
all in all i'm rewriting it to give you more power and features. :>
It suddenly started updating again tonight! The only difference I can think of is that someone had started a new topic instead of just replying to old ones.
My website is in Drupal and is in a different host than my Forum. What can I do?
Is it possible to display the author next to the post and thread?
Out of curiosity, does this check the user group of the person? I don't want admin threads to show on the front page for the world to see. Great addon! This works great with joomla!
Also, is there a way to show subforums in a forum? Say I have my structure like:
General Talk (fid = 1)
-> Chit Chat (fid = 2)
-> Greetings (fid = 3)
Would there be a way to pull any threads from the parent forum or would I have to list all of the child forums?
could someone put the full code here
and tell me where to upload it ?
