Including php on main page (to show vb posts)

Hi all

I want to include the last 5 or so topics posted to my forum on my main x-cart page.

I've found I can do that with this vbulletin hack called vbExternal. I'll give a link in case someone else wants to do this, too:

The thing is, it requires using some php.

You have to include this to give you the base code:

Code:

<?php

chdir('./forums');

require_once('./vBExternal.php');

?>

then use this to display the newest threads:

Code:

<?php

output_NewestThreads(5,"1,2,3");

?>

Is there a way to get this to work?

try

Quote:

{php}
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
{/php}

and then

Quote:

{php}
output_NewestThreads(5,"1,2,3");
{/php}

So that's how you include php on smart pages... wow! Thanks a million!

I'm going to try this out ASAP.

Thanks again! :)
