cecilbergwin Freshman Posts: 10 Posted: 9.Nov 2003 - 02:23	Thx for reply. I scoured the forums and that suggestion was the only thing i found. Still no joy. I get a parse error for the PHP script im trying to use. Ive got several scripts to use and none of these seem to be able to be added that way ?. Any more help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Simon online Steering Committee Posts: 13427 Posted: 9.Nov 2003 - 02:58	sorry, via phpMyAdmin - it should be available as a link in CPanel, if you have that at your host... -- Regards, Simon itbegins.co.uk - Zikula Consulting Please read the Support Guide

This should also clear my "original" problem up as the block was actually working the way you suggested to me Thanks, juts obviously i had PHP script error my side. Thanx

cecilbergwin Freshman Posts: 10 Posted: 9.Nov 2003 - 03:14	This is what im trying to acheive. Im using PostNuke main PhpBB "Forums" Now If i would have been sensible in the 1st place, i should have done like you guys done with a PNphpBB conversion, but i Launched my site in June this year and things have grown somewhat now in"content" & "members" for both Site and Forums. I only have User - Sign ups via forum, as my PostNuke install contains only myself and staff for administration. Now then... I want to make the main front site (PN) more dynamic with the Forum data. So i spotted the Fetch_all_phphbb scripts. This seemed do be a good idea to solve my problems for dynamic data on front end. Errors now occuring via path data ../ from forum, "but" im sure ill sort that 1 out unless you have any suggestions. from paths i state below. Do you have any suggestions yourself ? or anybody else who may have better ways to get my "forum" data segments like,Users online, Top Threads and so on without having to use any Mod at this current stage. My site if you want to have a look is www.racing.edgegaming.com with forums being at www.racing.edgegaming,com/forums (2 seperate installs). Any help, tips, advice is appreciated for sure. Thanx.
Simon online Steering Committee Posts: 13427 Posted: 9.Nov 2003 - 03:19	well the best best best thing to do would be to use a conversion script to take your standalone forums into the PNphpBB module. I think these are available. That would completley solve your problem... If you are sure you dont want to do that, then the solution you have at the moment is the only one I can think of -- Regards, Simon itbegins.co.uk - Zikula Consulting Please read the Support Guide
