In external.php,

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
   echo "\t\t<link>$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&amp;goto=newpost</link>\r\n";
   echo "\t\t<link>$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&amp;goto=newpost</link>\r\n";

would need to be replaced with

   echo "\t\t<link>$vboptions[bburl]/newpostinthread$thread[threadid].html</link>\r\n";
   echo "\t\t<link>$vboptions[bburl]/newpostinthread$thread[threadid].html</link>\r\n";

and

Dani, just one small issue with external.php - when calling up syndicated content for individual vB3 sub-forums, you use something like:

Help with Code Tags

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

 external.php?forumids=38

to call up a feed of that subforums.

However, it doesn't seem to like this on the workaround to static HTML. I *presume* it's an issue to be corrected with .htaccess, but I'm not quite sure about how to go about it.

Would you possibly have any suggestion?

Alright im implementing this new revised on a new site of mine, and it doesnt really go smoothly, had to figure alot of things out myself

Btw the htaccess code was wrong i thought, as the threads you clicking into will have the title in the filename, you need something like this

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^lastpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^newpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^t([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^lastpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^newpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^f([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]

Im having this error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/musicp/public_html/forums/includes/functions_online.php on line 164" when i go to who online or try to view a profile. Im really quite new to PHP, any idea guys ?

Good catch on that one Nordinho: Dani: this (probably) should be edited into the original post of this thread...

Got a problem. The rewite works fine, except that I'm seeing duplicate forum names. Any idea what I need to edit to fix this?

www.clantt.com/vb/ is the url in question.

Thanks in advance. Nice work.
