Guest beatmix01 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Can you embed php in threads on vbulletin? Thinking about putting some feeds for some price updates in there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 You can show PHP code, but I don't think it allows actually executing the code - too much opportunity for security problems. I can run code on the main site - just PM me with the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatmix01 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I was just curious because there is a PHP tag in the Reply section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah that's just to display PHP code (with syntax highlighting I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatmix01 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 My main reason was I was thinking of a way we could have a Woot thread that autoupdates when a new item is added. Come to think of it I dont know how realistic that would be being that woot is aspx driven and GD is PHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 That could be done - it would just involve writing a small script that "scrapes" the woot home page a few minutes after midnight to get the item's title and then automatically creates a post - not too difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-bystander Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 In the OnLine Hot Deals. Ooh, that's a great idea - automatic points generator! Get on it stat, or I'll steal it from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatmix01 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Ooh, that's a great idea - automatic points generator! Get on it stat, or I'll steal it from you. too late already started it about an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-bystander Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 too late already started it about an hour ago. So that Woot! Daily Deals thread will auto-update then? If so, good job - and great thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatmix01 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 So that Woot! Daily Deals thread will auto-update then? If so, good job - and great thinking! not auto updating. i think ill have to manually do it. I dont think I can autoupdate a thread using php since you cannot embed php within a thread.

I dont think I can autoupdate a thread using php since you cannot embed php within a thread. Why not: write a script; put it up on one of your sites; and reference that in your original post? You can do it, Jared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatmix01 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 i guess i could do it that way... i think... hmm when i have time i will have to think it out more. it would be my first 'complex' php script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
