External Data Provider in VB 5.1. How to use?

[thaihung38]

Hello every body. I'm very happy when vbulletin brings this back in version 5.1. But I don't know how to use it. Can anyone help me? Is it different with ver 4?

No, it's nearly the same as in vBulletin 4.

No, it's nearly the same as in vBulletin 4.

Could you give more details to me please. In vb 4 when implementing we use:

<script src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forumpath/external.php?type=js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     <!-- for (i in threads) {
          document.writeln(threads[i].title + " (" + threads[i].poster + ")<br />"); }
      //-->
</script>

But in vb 5.1 I see some external.php files in "include/frontend", "core" folder and some another locations. So which file should I use? And how to get the thread? (or Node?)
