    [Forum] How to integrate vBulletin features into an external site

    I have a web site I'm building and the client wants to have features from vBulletin (blog, forums) integrated into the site. Its not enough to simply add the sites skin to vBulletin. Is there a way to do this?

    I would expect there to be documentation on how, if it is possible, to do such a thing but haven't been able to find anything.

    I'd rather not connect and query the vBulletin database directly.

    I think your spec is unclear. Skinning vB is not enough, I guess vB in an iframe in the site would also not be enough.

    But what would be enough? What does "features from vBulletin integrated into the site" mean exactly?

      I want to be able to integrate blog posts on a few pages as well as show the number of comments. I also want to be able to use the forums for comments under certain pages.

      You're right that an iFrame wouldn't be ideal.

        RSS feed perhaps?

          Thanks setishock. I think that is what I'm looking for. Specifically, external.php and blog_external.php.
