Inferno External
Inferno External is an extension to vBulletin that allows the user to extract data from their forum and display it on their own custom website.
Latest updates for Inferno External:
v1.5.1: Added Advanced Post Cutting Features (Thread Post Module) (vB & IPB)
v1.5: Members Module (vB & IPB)
v1.5: Blogs Module (vB Only)
v1.5: Downloads Module (IPB Only)
v1.2: External Data Feeding (vB & IPB)
v1.2: vBSEO Integration (vB Only)
v1.2: WOL Integration (vB Only)
Inferno External's main purpose is to provide you with the power to easily display data from your forum, to your website, without any knowledge of programming!
Since v1.2, Inferno External now has the ability to feed the same data it can to your website, to other peoples websites in real time!
Since v1.2, Inferno External will detect if you have vBSEO installed on your forum, and if so, SEO all the content it produces!
Since v1.2, Inferno External has the ability to integrate WOL with your website. Simply put, if a user is viewing a news page on your website, you can make your forums WOL say they are viewing that exact page. This gives you the ability to completely integrate WOL with the pages of your own website. (Not available on IPB version)
Creating a data feed has never been as easy, you can simply create a block by choosing what type of data you want to extract, customise it with options, and save, all through an Admin CP interface.
As with most development processes, before taking anything live on a website you want to preview how it will look. Inferno External gives you a snapshot of how the block will look exactly on your website, with exception to your websites style/css.
Customising blocks is no problem at all, either if it's a setting, or how it's displayed. Inferno External employs ITS ("Independant Template System") that allows you modify templates for a block without effecting any other block!
The users online module will display a simple number and list of your current online statistics. It can tell you the total, how many members/guests, and then list the users online. Additionally you can make it hide certain usergroups from the list of users online, and choose to show hidden users to those who have permission to see them. With that configuration you could create such things as an 'Admins Online' block!
This compact version of users online simply displays the numbers of members, guests and hidden users online. You can configure this to only show members/guests or just hidden if you wish, and again hide certain usergroups!
This module block can give you a listing of threads from x, y and z forums, kinda like creating your own forum display page! It has all kinds of configuration to handle data exactly how you want:
* Max Threads To Display
* Maintain Permissions (So users only see threads they're supposed to!)
* Forums To Scrape (Which forums to fetch threads from)
* Filter Results (Enter custom search terms to customise which threads are shown!)
* Ordering (How you want the threads to be ordered, such as date, poster name, thread title)
* Display Threads From (Ranging from Today to This Month to This Year and more!)
* Titles/Username Cutting (So a long thread title doesn't bombard your style)
This is similar to the threads module, only instead of displaying a similar forum display look, it displays the first post of the threads! This could be used simply to show latest threads, custom blogs, or news! Also has extended configuration to meet your demands:
* Max Posts To Display
* Maintain Permissions (So users only see posts they're supposed to!)
* Forums To Scrape (Which forums to fetch posts from)
* Filter Results (Enter custom search terms to customise which posts are shown!)
* Parse BBCode (The system cleverly makes sure images such as smilies and links work!) (BBCode always parsed in IPB version)
* Ordering (How you want the posts to be ordered, such as date, poster name, thread title)
* Display Posts From (Ranging from Today to This Month to This Year and more!)
* Titles/Username (So a long text doesn't bombard your style)
* Advanced Post Cutting (Cut by X letters, words, sentances, or after X phrase is matched!)
The login panel is nearly what all webmasters want if they don't already have it. This module feeds a login panel to your site, allowing the user to login, then having your site show that they are logged in! There's no configuration here, login executions and cookies are all handled automatically to make this integrate without any work needed.
The members module is able to display members from your forum in several ways, from selecting how many to display, from which usergroups to display from to then sorting members in an extremely custom way with primary and secondary ordering features. Inferno External gives the ability to show member names, posts, join dates, and more!
The Blogs module (vBulletin only) gives you the chance to display your forums blogs from vBulletins own Blog addon software on your own website, offering a wide range of display and filtering options:
* Max Blogs To Display
* Usergroups To Scrape (You can ensure only blogs from users in these usergroups are shown)
* Parse BBCode Option (Select to parse BB Code)
* Advanced BBCode Parsing (The blog module offers advanced BBCode parsing, which will ensure that if you cut off blog posts, that BBCode will not break, even if you cut off half way through a tag!)
* Filter Results (Enter custom search terms to customise which blogs are shown!)
* Ordering (Select how you want to order blogs: Blog Title, Blog Post Date, Blog Last Post Date, Blog Poster Username)
* Display Blogs From (Select a time range to display blogs from, ranging from Today to This Month to This Year and more!)
* Title/Username/Blog Cutting (So a long blog doesn't break your style, or to show small parts of blogs)
The Downloads module (IPB only_ gives you the chance to display your forums downloads from IPBs own Downloads addon software on your own website, offering a wide range of display and filtering options:
* Max Blogs To Display
* Categories To Scrape (You can ensure only downloads from specific categories are shown)
* Filter Results (Enter custom search terms to customise which downloads are shown!)
* Ordering (Select how you want to order downloads: Poster Username, Download Submitted Date, Download Title, Download Last Updated Date, Downloads)
