How to ?

Do you mean notices ?

Hm, I need a tool to prepare site content - possibility to edit messages with the same way as on the forum, to format messages and to publish containers (div class="Message") on site. And edit them further.

You can do this via dashboard, publish to header sidebar etc

I have a site connected with forums through ProxyConnect plugin.

And want to publish admin messages (prepared in hidden generic topic ) inside of site not the forum.

something like this

<?php //code on site echo Get_Div_From('GenericForum','message_1'); ?>

Sorry, I misunderstood your initial question, in fact I am pretty confused now.

you could do this through ajax using the api.

Or through loading the bootstap.php. Then use model, get the message, format it, etc.

However what you are trying to doesn't seem to be worth the effort. It is a botch job at best. Why not start with something fit for purpose in he first place?

If it is truly hidden (can't think why) then you will also need a plugin to override this.

hidden because it's an admin tool to prepare content. I just go to Generic forum and format and edit generic messages with comfortable way. Then with just one php string I may place an article to my site in any page where I want;

Seriously use a cms like wordpress. That sounds like a terrible idea.

johansonlocker

thanks for your mark of the idea. I've just asked about ways

and I don't need no Wordpress by now at least.

great as long as you understand we are not here to teach you how to program.

@x00 hmm i've done terrible idea for some days. now i have Vanilla based cms. it's terribly you're right.

Core function is very simple. styling and formatting - more boring to implement.

  function FindMessage ($Forum, $Topic, $FindText) {

    $config_path = rootpath().'forum/conf/config.php'; //PATH to Configuration

    if(!function_exists('value_from_line')) {  
        function value_from_line ($line, $param) {   
        $pattern = "#Configuration\['Database'\]\['$param'\] = '(.*)';#i";
        if(preg_match($pattern, $line, $match)) return $match[1]; }}
    $lines = file($config_path);
    $db_name = null;$db_host = null;$db_user = null;$db_pass = null;
    foreach($lines as $line){   
      if ($db_host==null) $db_host = value_from_line ($line,'Host');      
      if ($db_name==null) $db_name = value_from_line ($line,'Name');
      if ($db_user==null) $db_user = value_from_line ($line,'User');
      if ($db_pass==null) $db_pass = value_from_line ($line,'Password');
      if (($db_name!=null) and ($db_host!=null) 
      and ($db_user!=null) and ($db_pass!=null)) break; }   
    // GOT    $db_name    $db_host    $db_user    $db_pass
    //---------------------------------------------------------------------   

        Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
        $No_Connection = "Location: URLNOCONNECTION";
        $linker = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass)or die ($No_Connection); 
        $db = mysql_select_db ($db_name) or die ($No_Connection);

        // заглавная мессага 
        $rst = mysql_query (
        "select `GDN_Discussion`.`Body` AS `Body` from (`GDN_Category` left join ".
        "`GDN_Discussion` on((`GDN_Category`.`CategoryID` = `GDN_Discussion`.".
        "`CategoryID`))) where ((`GDN_Category`.`Name` = '$Forum') and ".
        "(`GDN_Discussion`.`Name` = '$Topic'))");

        if ($row = mysql_fetch_object($rst)) 
        {
            $Message = $row->Body;             
            $pos = strpos($Message, $FindText);
            if ($pos !== false) return $Message; 
        }
        // список комментариев
        $rst = mysql_query (
        "select `GDN_Comment`.`Body` AS `Body` from (`GDN_Category` left join ".
        "(`GDN_Discussion` left join `GDN_Comment` on((`GDN_Discussion`.`DiscussionID`".
        " = `GDN_Comment`.`DiscussionID`))) on((`GDN_Category`.`CategoryID` = ".
        "`GDN_Discussion`.`CategoryID`))) where ((`GDN_Category`.`Name` = '$Forum')".
        " and (`GDN_Discussion`.`Name` = '$Topic'))");
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($rst))
            {
            $Message = $row->Body;             
            $pos = strpos($Message, $FindText);
            if ($pos !== false) return $Message;
          }
        return null;
    }
