Warning : please make backup before doing this, use it with your own risk

before, i asked about this in this thread https://www.vaultwiki.org/threads/5050/ , but its says its not available, so i decided to create it by my self, and i did it for Forumhome, here is how.

Newest Wiki pages link, in Forumhome
It is by using our vaultwiki feed, based on this hack : Latest Blog Feed in Postbit using Carp RSS http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=91781 , that mod is for showing rss feed in postbit, but we will showing vaultwiki rss feed in forumhome. So same methode, only different template, they are using postbit template, we are using forumhome template

1. download and install carp http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/ in your site, make sure its working first by read they instruction, i use the free version its works too. Carp is RSS Parser, it will get vaultwiki rss link

2. go to admincp >> Plugins & Products >> Add New Plugin, with below content
Product : vbulletin
Hook Location : global_start
Title : Carp Configuration
Execution Order : 5
Plugin PHP Code :

Code:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('index', 'showwiki')))
{
require_once '/path/to/carp/carp.php';  // change the path to your carp.php path installation
CarpConf('cacheinterval',120); 

/** You can omit the above two lines without a problem **/ 
CarpConf('cborder',''); 
CarpConf('poweredby',''); 
CarpConf('maxitems',10); // i set to showing 10 newest vaultwiki page links, you can showing to another number
CarpConf('iorder','link'); 
}

3. go to admincp >> Plugins & Products >> Add New Plugin, another one, with below content
Product : vbulletin
Hook Location : forumhome_start
Title : wiki rss feed for forumhome
Execution Order : 5
Plugin PHP Code :

Code:

$wikirssfeedforforumhome = ob_get_contents(); 
ob_end_clean();

4. Put this code anywhere that you want in your forumhome template : $wikirssfeedforforumhome
i put it above 'What's Going On?' box, it will showing 10 newest vaultwiki pages in forum home

added for Wiki front page, thank you pegasus for the hook used clue

If you're only using Carp on forum home and wiki home, maybe you don't need to load its config on every forum page. Instead you can just test:

Code:

THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR $vault->error & VAULT_NOID

i think its not working, but this is working, the hack above updated, thank you for the clue again, make the hack better

Code:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('index', 'showwiki')))

Hi, you also suggest this mod will work for vB4. In vB4, the template edit won't work.

Code:

&lt;if condition="...">...&lt;/if>

This is deprecated and won't work in the vault_article_main template.
Instead vB4 syntax should be used:

Code:

&lt;vb:if condition="...">...&lt;/vb:if>
