Please wait at least 24 hours before bumping your posts.

From the forum rules:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42918

Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For style changes and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours. For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline.

We do not provide support for custom coding here. If you cannot get the help you want at www.vbuletin.org, then you should consider hiring someone to help you with this.

Sorry about bumping, but i think there is a problem with javascript on my board

[Steve Machol]

Please reread post #5. This is not the place to get help with custom coding. Thank you for respecting this.

Your external feed works fine:
http://www.turbofsi.net/forum/external.php?type=js

The problem is this bit of code when calling external.php:
forumids=X,X,X

X is not a valid forumid. You need to remove that portion or replace the multiple X characters with valid forumid numbers.

Ok now i am dumb, can u look at this wayne

this is my site

Use this code with nothing else. It is what is in the documentation and I personally fixed it so that it will work on any domain. Just place this code in an HTML file with nothing else and load that file in your browser.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 
<head>
  <title></title>
</head>
 
<body>
<script src="http://www.hd-coderz.com/forum/external.php?type=js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (i in threads)
{
document.writeln(threads[i].title + " (" + threads[i].poster + ")<br />");
}
//-->
</script>
</body>
 
</html>

However I am not getting any output at http://www.hd-coderz.net/forum/external.php?type=js and the link above actually goes to http://www.turbofsi.net/forum/external.php?type=js

If I use the second URL in my test file, I get:
http://www.rabidbadger.net/externaltest.html

[pooffck]

Sorry it didnt

as you can see

this is my js in domain: http://www.hd-coderz.com/forum/external.php?type=js

and this is the guy who was trying to help me js: http://www.turbofsi.net/forum/external.php?type=js

Why isnt my doing the exact same thing?

[Wayne Luke]

All of your forums are private and not viewable by guests. Therefore there is nothing to syndicate or output and you get a blank list of threads.

[pooffck]

So there is no way to do this? even on forum home?

[Wayne Luke]

Make your forums viewable by guests and it will all start working. Otherwise you need to have custom coding done in plugins.
