[Forum] HowTo Display Latest Active Threads on ANY normal HTML page ?

[Paddy Murphy]

Hi,

I'm trying to display 10 of my latest threads into a page on my website. Enable External Javascript is on. I put this code into a HTML block on a test page on my website.

 
 [I][COLOR=#000080][FONT=inherit]<!-- show latest active threads -->[/FONT][/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]<table cellpadding=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"6"[/FONT][/COLOR] cellspacing=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"1"[/FONT][/COLOR] border=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"0"[/FONT][/COLOR] width=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"100%"[/FONT][/COLOR] align=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"center"[/FONT][/COLOR]>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]<tbody>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]<tr>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]<td colspan=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"2"[/FONT][/COLOR]>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008000][FONT=inherit]<a href=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"search.php?do=getnew"[/FONT][/COLOR]>[/FONT][/COLOR]Latest Active Threads[COLOR=#008000][FONT=inherit]</a>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]</td>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]</tr>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]</tbody>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]<tbody>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]<tr>[/FONT][/COLOR]   [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]<td width=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"100%"[/FONT][/COLOR]>[/FONT][/COLOR]   [COLOR=#000080][FONT=inherit]<div>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#800000][FONT=inherit]<script type=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"text/javascript"[/FONT][/COLOR] src=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"external.php?type=js"[/FONT][/COLOR]>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#800000][FONT=inherit]</script>[/FONT][/COLOR]  [COLOR=#800000][FONT=inherit]<script language=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]""[/FONT][/COLOR] type=[COLOR=#0000FF][FONT=inherit]"text/javascript"[/FONT][/COLOR]>[/FONT][/COLOR] [I][COLOR=#000080][FONT=inherit]<!-- for (var x in threads) { document.writeln("<a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> (Posted By: "+threads[x].poster+")<br />"); } //-->[/FONT][/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#800000][FONT=inherit]</script>[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000080][FONT=inherit]</div>[/FONT][/COLOR]   [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]</td>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]</tr>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]</tbody>[/FONT][/COLOR] [I][COLOR=#000080][FONT=inherit]<!-- show latest active threads -->[/FONT][/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#008080][FONT=inherit]</table>[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][FONT=inherit]<br />[/FONT][/COLOR]

But all that is displayed on the page is the subject, "Latest Active Threads" - page: http://www.norml.ie/test-page

Could some please help with this please?

Regards,

That file doesn't exist where you say it does. You need to link it to your vBulletin external.php file.

http://www.forum.norml.ie/external.php?type=js

Also, I'd personally drop the www. off infront of the forum url.

Hi Zachery,

Not exactly sure what you mean by that comment? The test page is at - http://www.norml.ie/test-page

My external js is here - http://www.forum.norml.ie/external.php?type=js

Also, I'd personally drop the www. off infront of the forum url.

Ok, how would I do that?

Your example code, you are linking to src="external.php?type=js" and because of how the internet works, its looking in its current folder. You need to point it to the correct place.

Ah sorry I see what you mean now. I didn't realise this was suppose to be the file address, I got this code from another post in the vB3 forum.

I have this working code now. I've decided for the moment anyway to just show the 5 latest threads - http://www.norml.ie/test-page

But, one thing that I can't figure out is, under the 5 threads is "undefined" 6 times. Can you advise on how to removed that please?

Fixed it myself, thanks.
