XenForo Connector 1.0

[craigiri]

Okay I don't know whether I am stupid or not really understanding this.

Where abouts do we put the connector code - do we make a new php file and include it somewhere?
All I am attempting to do is like many others get the last couple of forum posts and display them on the front page of my php coded website.

Look up poor mans portal here......
I used it on the front page here - http://www.hearth.com
the author will customize and install it for you if you like...

Put the code (includes) before echoing anything else. You can't put it in the middle of the page.
Then do the last posts stuff where you want it to show.

can it be used to bring ( user id and user name )

 

[Benjy]

can it be used to bring ( user id and user name )

Of course! If you use the code from the description, you have these infos available as $userinfo['user_id'] and $userinfo['username'].

if i want to test it in my local host is this correct

<?php
define('XF_ROOT', 'localhost/Forum/'); // set this!
define('TIMENOW', time());
define('SESSION_BYPASS', false); // if true: logged in user info and sessions are not needed

require_once(XF_ROOT . '/library/XenForo/Autoloader.php');

XenForo_Autoloader::getInstance()->setupAutoloader(XF_ROOT . '/library');

XenForo_Application::initialize(XF_ROOT . '/library', XF_ROOT);
XenForo_Application::set('page_start_time', TIMENOW);
XenForo_Application::disablePhpErrorHandler();
XenForo_Application::setDebugMode(false);

if (!SESSION_BYPASS)
{
XenForo_Session::startPublicSession();

$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();

if ($visitor->getUserId())
{
$userModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User');
$userinfo = $userModel->getFullUserById($visitor->getUserId());
}
}

restore_error_handler();
restore_exception_handler();
?>

<?php
$threadModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_Thread');
$thread = $threadModel->getThreadById(8); // thread info (associative array)

echo XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('canonical:threads', $thread); // thread URL
echo XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('canonical:threads/add-reply', $thread); // add reply URL
?>

Your XF_ROOT doesn't seem correct. It should be your local (disk) path.

ok it work now but how can i make it print them

<?php
define('XF_ROOT', 'C:/wamp/www/Forum'); // set this!
define('TIMENOW', time());
define('SESSION_BYPASS', false); // if true: logged in user info and sessions are not needed

require_once(XF_ROOT . '/library/XenForo/Autoloader.php');

XenForo_Autoloader::getInstance()->setupAutoloader(XF_ROOT . '/library');

XenForo_Application::initialize(XF_ROOT . '/library', XF_ROOT);
XenForo_Application::set('page_start_time', TIMENOW);
XenForo_Application::disablePhpErrorHandler();
XenForo_Application::setDebugMode(false);

if (!SESSION_BYPASS)
{
XenForo_Session::startPublicSession();

$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();

if ($visitor->getUserId())
{
$userModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User');
$userinfo = $userModel->getFullUserById($visitor->getUserId());
}
}

restore_error_handler();
restore_exception_handler();
?>

<?php
$userinfo['user_id'] and $userinfo['username']

?>

This is basic PHP: echo, var_dump()... this Connector is not recommended for beginners.

at the end i'm trying to get this idea to work

Hello, I have that:

/index.php
/forums/ *HERE MY XENFORO INSTALLATION*


My /index.php :

<?php
 
define('XF_ROOT', '/forums'); // set this!
define('TIMENOW', time());
define('SESSION_BYPASS', false); // if true: logged in user info and sessions are not needed
 
require_once(XF_ROOT . '/library/XenForo/Autoloader.php');
 
XenForo_Autoloader::getInstance()->setupAutoloader(XF_ROOT . '/library');
 
XenForo_Application::initialize(XF_ROOT . '/library', XF_ROOT);
XenForo_Application::set('page_start_time', TIMENOW);
XenForo_Application::disablePhpErrorHandler();
XenForo_Application::setDebugMode(false);
 
if (!SESSION_BYPASS)
{
    XenForo_Session::startPublicSession();
 
    $visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();
 
    if ($visitor->getUserId())
    {
        $userModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User');
        $userinfo = $userModel->getFullUserById($visitor->getUserId());
    }
}
 
restore_error_handler();
restore_exception_handler();
 
?>

And I have an error:

Can you help me please ?

 

[Benjy]

Hi Zephyr,

Is /forums your absolute path or your relative path ? Because it must be absolute (eg: /home/account/www/forums and not simply /forums).

Hi, possible to use Zend library (eg: Gdata) with xenforo connector script please ?

 

[Tommo]

Hiya, I'm using the script on the Description tab and also using $userinfo['username'] however when I try to echo out the $userinfo['username'] I am getting the following error:

"Notice: Undefined variable: userinfo"
anyone know why?
Thanks

 

[Deleted member 10469]

"Notice: Undefined variable: userinfo"

Edit: Found out the problem, once I edited the the config the cookies went bit weird...

 

[hemant_bhardwaj]

[Lukas W.]

does it still work with xf2 ?

XF1 code never runs with XF2.
