Topic: post from extern
hello,
I would like to post in my punBB from another script. So whenever a user executes the other script, a message of the user should be posted in my punbb.
Is there a function I could call?
best regards

INSTRUCTIONS
This script is used to include information about your board from
pages outside the forums and to syndicate news about recent
discussions via RSS. The script can display a list of recent
discussions (sorted by post time or last post time), a list of
active users or a collection of general board statistics. The
script can be called directly via an URL (for RSS), from a PHP
include command or through the use of Server Side Includes (SSI).
The scripts behaviour is controlled via variables supplied in the
URL to the script. The different variables are: action (what to
output), show (how many topics to display), fid (the ID or ID's of
the forum(s) to poll for topics), nfid (the ID or ID's of forums
that should be excluded) and type (output as HTML or RSS). The
only mandatory variable is action. Possible/default values are:
action: active (show most recently active topics) (HTML or RSS)
new (show newest topics) (HTML or RSS)
online (show users online) (HTML)
online_full (as above, but includes a full list) (HTML)
stats (show board statistics) (HTML)
show: Any integer value between 1 and 50. This variables is
ignored for RSS output. The default is 15.
fid: One or more forum ID's (comma-separated). If ignored,
topics from all guest-readable forums will be polled.
nfid: One or more forum ID's (comma-separated) that are to be
excluded. E.g. the ID of a a test forum.
type: RSS. Anything else means HTML output.
Here are some examples using PHP include().
Show the 15 most recently active topics from all forums:
include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=active');
Show the 10 newest topics from forums with ID 5, 6 and 7:
include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=5,6,7');
Show users online:
include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=online');
Show users online with full listing of users:
include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=online_full');
Show board statistics:
include('http://host.com/forums/extern.php?action=stats');
Here are some examples using SSI.
Show the 5 newest topics from forums with ID 11 and 22:
<!--#include virtual="forums/extern.php?action=new&show=5&fid=11,22" -->
Show board statistics:
<!--#include virtual="forums/extern.php?action=stats" -->
And finally some examples using extern.php to output an RSS 0.91
feed.
Output the 15 most recently active topics:
http://host.com/extern.php?action=active&type=RSS
Output the 15 newest topics from forum with ID=2:
http://host.com/extern.php?action=activ … &fid=2
Below you will find some variables you can edit to tailor the
scripts behaviour to your needs.
ops..
do a rss news feed....
Quaker, you got it the wrong way around.
He wanted to know how to post into punBB from another script, not use an external script like extern.php to draw posts out of PunBB.
extern.php is not a solution.
