Read topic & post values from a forum

[Maarten_]

Hello,

 

I'm rather new to javascript and I would like some help on a script.

 

The problem: for administrator reasons I want to be able to read the amount of topic's and posts for each forum (not subforums).

These values should be added to a google spreadsheet document.

(Forumsoftware is vBulletin)

 

If someone has a script or want to make it, feel free share:)

I would even more apreciate if there is someone who can explain me how to make this.

 

Hope someone can help me!

 

Thanks

This wouldn't be possible with JavaScript. You need to be able to connect to and query the forum's database, open and write to files, etc. JavaScript is a client-side technology, built-in to the browser. You need a server-side language like PHP.

 

Personally I'd tackle this one problem at a time; first learn how to connect and query the database to find the right data you need. Then learn how to open and write to files in the Google Spreadsheet format (I have absolutely no experience working with Google documents like this, so I can't offer any advice here). Then figure out how to combine the two to produce what you need.

 

Unfortunately, unless you're lucky enough to come across someone that's wanting to accomplish something similar, you won't find somebody willing to do this for you for free. However as I said, tackle it one step a time and it'll be easier..

Doing this with server side scripting was also my first idea but since the forum is part of tribalwars and it takes really to long to get thos files on the server it isn't an option.

 

I thought this would be possible using DOM..
