I've search for a suitable answer but can't seem to find anything current regard the External Article feature in TP.

If I assume correctly if I create an external article pulling from an html or php file on the current domain then I should just be able to specify that using External Article and after configuring up have it display like any written article. All I see though is text not available in the block.

There doesn't seem to be an explanation of just how the external article function works and I have over 300 external articles I need to access.

Any hints or do I just need to byte the bullet and use IFRAMEs in an HTML block?

Thank you very much

I ask the same Nick bro ,
..Bloc says it's an Article that wrap's around something .....

others here can / will answer better than I.

BB,
Crip~


include "/test.html";


you do this in a php type article

BlueSteel  Thanks. 8)

So then what is the purpose, use for the External Article type?

It has a bug I have discovered just now and it will be fixed in the update out this weekend - but you are indeed meant to just write the path+file RELATIVE to the forum folder. So just put all your files inside a folder inside the forum root, and all you need is to specify the path to that, like "myarticles/test.html"

Great. That's what I was hoping. Will wait for the fix release so I can get it going.

Thanks much Bloc.

*Edit: And others that responded*

Works like a champ after the upgrade. Thanks much Bloc.

Will mark this solved then :)
