Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] fgr_punbb_info: PunBB forum info plugin
Yes, I have had many problems with this very issue in Dreamhost … the same restriction nullifies almost any attempt to parse an RSS feed because it uses that command to actually open the feed. Its a “security” thing. Love everything else about them, so it’s hard to complain.

I have a PHP guru onto this, so I hope to have a solution at hand later this week.
Will post here when I have it.
Cheers

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] fgr_punbb_info: PunBB forum info plugin
Hi,
I have tried putting this code and it works, except I can’t control the location of the output. It will place itself on the top of the page no matter where I tell it to stay (doen’t work inside div’s either):
<code>
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
</code>
I have put this inside the PunBB forum info plugin to replace the allow_url_fopen as the Dreamhost Wiki explains. It works but not as expected. Does anyone know how to force it to display where I want it to?

I’ve been slow in chasing this down…
Thanks for the nudge Phred78 – will explore further (I’m on Dreamhost too..)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] fgr_punbb_info: PunBB forum info plugin
I have posed the same question to Dreamhost support who just redirected me to the PHP manual on curl
I will try a different approach when I can. Currently my PunBB and TXP installs depend on the same mySQL database, so I’ll try to develop a simple PHP script to extract the last posts of a given category from PunBB, hard-coding the parametres. I’ll let you know how it works.
Also, I have set-up phpAdsNew and the code for presenting banners is JavaScript with several document.write(). Has anyone tried this with PunBB? Would it be a viable solution?

Is there a way for this plugin to show the whole of the title of the punbb post?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] fgr_punbb_info: PunBB forum info plugin
Currently using this on one of my sites
bc..
<?php $ch = curl_init(“http://www.yoursitename.com/forum/extern.php?action=active&show=6”); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?>
The URL is pointing directly to my installation of punbb.. works a treat

Did you place that in the plugin? and where?
>Edit
By using it as pure php this is what I get (none show titles and they are not linked, they are parsed as text)
