Hi there, this is my first post so I probabbly have it in the wrong section, sorry.

But what im looking for is this:

I have and own a IPB board installed on my site and would like to run live feeds from my forum to the website its self. Does anyone know how i can do this, i have went to invisionize but they havent been much help there unfortunatly.

Also I would also like to change my gallery too. Currently i have to update everything manually but is there a program or anything that if i upload all my pictures on a dir on my ftp that this program/script will pick this folder up and create a link on my main gallery page for everyone to click on and take to the picture gallery (hope i explained this one right.)

I assume you're establishing a connection to your database? If you have a look at the tables in your database created when you set up the board you should be able to see how they relate to one another and work out how to extract the data in any format you need.

what is the address of your site?

cruisinbeatz · 5 Dec 2006 at 19:28

http://www.cruisinbeatz.co.uk

or

http://www.cruisinbeatz.com

Yes i would like to use my database on my forum if possible.

you'd have to use the forum database. it'd be easy to pull the values from your IPB database and format them using php/html/css, but it's very long winded to explain. have you ever used php/mysql before?

Only in very small doses, ummm... used it to back up and restore and same with my database using putty on the telnet but nothing big or detailed.
