SMF SDK

[rublind]

I was wondering if anyone has made, or is making an SDK for the board itself (not the packages).

Something similar to http://ipbsdk.sourceforget.net [nofollow].

This would be useful for people who want to integrate whole sites into the forum with users, comments and other junk. 

I'm willing to participate with anyone interested in working on this (I just don't have a lot of free time).

Thanks

There is also SMF API available from tools in the download section.

Both of these things have some good stuff, but neither has exactly what I'm looking for, so I guess I can just modify it to suit my needs.

But thank you. =)

SMF 1.1 also has a bunch of built-in integration hooks. Orstio can give you more info on those.

Does it have the ability to get posts from a specific board? Not necessarily all new topics, but new topics from board A or something...?

You can do that with SSI.php.

[rublind]

how ? I read it, and it looked like none of the functions take any arguments..

... maybe I'm retarded?

[Dannii]

Have a read of the source of SSI.php, it explains a lot more. Look at the SSI FAQs as well.. search for them here.

Oh, I just read what was on that one page, I didn't read the source of the thing, maybe that would be a wise idea....

... thanks. =)

One of the things we are working (slowly) on is basically making the SMF source a giant API.  So that once you include SSI all you'll have to do is include the file that handles that particular piece and call some function.

[rublind]

Which would be awesome. =]

You should have seen me when I found out about createPost() in SMF 1.1.  I thought I was going to cry

[rublind]

O_O no way...


... hey, how do I use SSI.php to only get the topics from a specific board? I've been modifying SSI.php and change NOT IN $exclude_boards to IN $exclude_boards, but it still gets topics from other boards, me no likey.

[EDIT]
Nevermind. I'm retarded, it works right. =]

[EDIT2]

Okay, no it doesn't. It only works until you view the board, then it disappears, how do I stop that? I want it to just get the ten newest topics from board 2, and display some simple info...
