Re: extern.php problem

For this to work you need to have guest access for your forums.
When you search extern.php for "no permission" it returns

$result = $db->query('SELECT g_read_board FROM '.$db->prefix.'groups WHERE g_id=3') or error('Unable to fetch group info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
if ($db->result($result) == '0')
    exit('No permission');

Re: extern.php problem

I have another (although seperate) extern.php issue.  (maybe should start another thread?)

I have three posts on my forum yet the output from extern.php is only two posts.  I thought that it might be an id issue in my code.  But I only have 8 forums and have:

include("http://www.ditschfitness.com/forums/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8");

is it possible that one of my forums isn't id 1-8?  if so how do i find the forum's id?

thanks for any help - garyd

That's very easy.
Just go to your forum index page where you see the list of all forums.
Move your mouse over each link to the forums and in teh browser status bar at the bottom you will see a link like
http:/blahblah/myboard/index.php?fid=66

Where "fid=66" is the respective forum id.

(sigh)  I new there was a simple way to figure it out.... but I know I'd be looking for a couple hours before I thought to do that.  time for a break.

thanks for the quick reply and help

Never mind, I know the story.
Once you get stuck with a problem for too long you just keep staring at your files and don't see the obvious solution anymore.
In those cases I just go for a quick swim, that alwyas helps.
Depending on your region you should maybe look for something else to do though smile
