Latest discussions on other site/page

Hi,

Is there any plugin to display latest discussions on other site? For example if someone what to include latests discussions from my forum on his site, to insert some sort of code (or iframe?) to display it?

Regards.

You can insert the forum rss feed in a widget or module on the site you want to show his.

To tell how, we need to know where it is going to go. WP ? Drupal what...

You cannot create a Vanilla plugin to display something on a non Vanilla page

On that other page you have to pull information from the forum and show it somehow. I guess the best way to pull that information is by adding &DeliveryMethod=JSON at your forums url like that: http://vanillaforums.org/discussions&DeliveryMethod=JSON

Whatever software is used for that other site, it should be possible to work with JSON data.
If not, you can get info also like that: http://vanillaforums.org/discussions&DeliveryType=VIEW That way, you only have to style it as you like it.

@R_J‌ You're right. I've figured that later after my post. I need to create plugin on that, "other" site, of course

This JSON method is cool. Didn't know about it Will try to make something with it.

@vrijvlinder‌ It's not WP or Drupal or any other open-source script. It's some custom made "CMS".

I am not sure if you know this @R_J, but you can append a different extension to the controller to set the delivery method. E.g. http://vanillaforums.org/discussions.json or http://vanillaforums.org/profile.xml/44046/R_J.

This works on any controller that sets data on itself.

You can also write your own delivery method view. I did this for a custom TXT method.

I saw that when I was searching the forum for the correct term. But I've decided to put the long form here in order to not make it look like magic

It is funny you should mention that, because that is exactly what I thought when I first saw it.

Everyday I read the framework, I see something else that is clever.
