Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] fgr_punbb_info: PunBB forum info plugin
Oh I see above you were getting an error message?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] fgr_punbb_info: PunBB forum info plugin
Bump. Anyone get any further with this?
I don’t seem to be able to get any output from using something like this:
<code><txp:php>include ‘http://awakenyourself.org/kadampa-forums/extern.php?action=new’;</txp:php></code> (adjusted for my URL) in a form.
I know zip about PHP, and I know this is not strictly TXP stuff, but I would really appreciate any help with this.
Thanks!

I dunno what that URL is calling (recent posts?) but make it like this:
<code><txp:php>include(‘http://awakenyourself.org/kadampa-forums/extern.php?action=new’);</txp:php></code>

Thanks Walker – I can see the syntax error and fixed it… unfortunately it didn’t change anything…
I get no output at all.
I think I should probably take this to the PunBB forums, as it’s not really a TXP specific thing (but if any TXPers out there do have this working, please yell!).

This is what I use on a page, don’t know if it works on a form:
<code><?php include ‘http://phpxref.net/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=9’; ?></code>

Thanks Bert.
I cut and pasted your exact line from your post (pinching the feed from your forum!) on a TXP page, and I get absolutely no output at all.
I have PHP on pages and articles enabled, and I’m running TXP 4.0.3
I’m completely puzzled!
Update
OK, turns out to be a Dreamhost issue: they’ve turned off “allow_url_fopen” in PHP.
I read of some workarounds, but none of the alternatives listed (full file path, using PHP environment variable $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’], etc) work with the PunBB extern.php file.
I either get no output at all, or an error message (from PunBB) saying it can’t find ‘config.php’ (which is in the same place as extern.php).
I’m no coder, and I realise this is no longer a TXP thing, but if anyone feels like taking pity on me, that would be great. Off list is fine. ;-)

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.

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?
