Hello,
Finally I found the right place to post my request, aftter looking for help on 100s of Vb Forums.. :D
VBAdvanced CMPS, is the best free protal addon available today for Vbulletin.
I am looking for help for same.
I need to display recent topics on my Site, (Non VB-Page) same way like VBAdvanced Does, How can i acheive the same ?
Also displaying the poll on non-vb pages will come in handly.
Expecting replies to my questions here :)
Regards,
Brian

Is there any reason why you can't just use the CMPS to do this? You can turn every module on/off on a per-page basis, so you could just have the latest topics part active.

Hello Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
This is my Main Site - http://207.58.143.178/
Running on a 3rd party portal script, hence i am looking for those modules to be used there.. If the admin config is available as well to control various display options, its going to proove a nice addon for us.
Regards,
Brian

Ahhh... You may be able to copy the code from the latesttopics.php and currentpoll.php files and get them to work, but it would probably take a decent amount of modification in order to get them to work with that script.

It's probably not going to be an easy task since you're trying to merge two different scripts, especially if you don't know PHP...

Is there an easier way so i can just include the recent topics someway ?
Lets ignore the poll now. I dont need the poll on my non=vn pages.
Recent Topics is very impressive, since it takes into consideration Forum Permissions :)

SanDeep.... have you considered using RS Feeds...? This is a way to have your own latest topics displayed on any site (including your own non vB pages). This is a standard function of vB.
I haven't done this myself but I believe all you need to do is have a RS Feed parser running on your webserver, then use the RSS Feed function of vB to feed the html for the latest topics from your web site into that.
Just a thought...

hello musicman, you are right
i can use the RSS feeds as well, but if you note there is an added advantage of using the latestopics.php file :)
i can also note doing how many users are browsing my portal pages which is not possible via RSS
