I've spent a couple of minutes in bringing the contentislands back to ubb-threads. The script is very basic, but you can adapt it as you like. I used the External Island feature to make this work. First create a new Post Island. In my example I used post island 12 for this.
Then create the following PHP and upload this to anywhere on your board:
Code
<?php
if (!defined('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM')) define('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM',1);
$style_side="";$tbopen="";$tbclose="";

$txt ="<table width=\"100%\">";
$txt = $txt.get_include_contents("/var/www/forums/test/languages/dutch 7.2/portal_islands.php");
$txt = $txt.get_include_contents("/var/www/forums/test/languages/dutch 7.2/generic.php");
$txt = $txt.get_include_contents("/var/www/forums/test/cache/post_island_12.php");
$txt = $txt."</table>";

$txt = str_replace("/ubbthreads.php?","http://forumtst.merudi.net/ubbthreads.php?",$txt);
$txt = str_replace("\"","\\\"",$txt);
$txt = str_replace("\r","",$txt);
$txt = str_replace("\n","",$txt);

echo "document.write(\"";
echo "$txt";
echo "\")";



function get_include_contents($filename) {
if (is_file($filename)) {
ob_start();
include $filename;
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $contents;
}
return false;
}

?>
Don't forget to change it to your dir's ofcourse wink.
Now the following is only needed in the page this island needs to be shown:
Code
<script src="http://forumtst.merudi.net/cis_nl.php"
language="Javascript1.3" type="text/javascript"></script>
Ofcourse set the correct URL to your uploading file. And your done.
If you want any formatting, it cannot hurt to include some stylesheets in your php, but feel free as you go along. This is only a little example wink.

Have fun.

p.s. Here's the php code, if you want to include your styletemplates and let them a little more formatted. Just copy them from your styled.css file and paste them in the php. I used mine, but ofcourse you can use yours wink
Code
<?php
if (!defined('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM')) define('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM',1);
$style_side="";$tbopen="";$tbclose="";


$style = "<style type=\"text/css\">
.cisland {
font-weight: bold;
}

.tdheader {
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fefbff;
background: #666699;
padding: 2px;
border: 0px solid #666699;
background-image: url(http://forumtst.merudi.net/images/merudi/cell3.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

.alt-1 {
background: #fffefe;
color: #000002;
padding: 2px;
border: 0px solid #666699;
background-image: url(http://forumtst.merudi.net/images/merudi/cell.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;


}
.alt-1 a:link {
font-weight: bold;
}
.alt-1 a:visited {
font-weight: bold;
}
.alt-1 a:active {
font-weight: bold;
}
.alt-1 a:hover {
font-weight: bold;
}



</style>
";

$txt = $style;

$txt = $txt."<table class=\"cisland\" width=\"100%\">";
$txt = $txt.get_include_contents("/var/www/forums/test/languages/dutch 7.2/portal_islands.php");
$txt = $txt.get_include_contents("/var/www/forums/test/languages/dutch 7.2/generic.php");
$txt = $txt.get_include_contents("/var/www/forums/test/cache/post_island_12.php");
$txt = $txt."</table>";

$txt = str_replace("/ubbthreads.php?","http://forumtst.merudi.net/ubbthreads.php?",$txt);
$txt = str_replace("\"","\\\"",$txt);
$txt = str_replace("\r","",$txt);
$txt = str_replace("\n","",$txt);



echo "document.write(\"";
echo "$txt";
echo "\")";



function get_include_contents($filename) {
if (is_file($filename)) {
ob_start();
include $filename;
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $contents;
}
return false;
}

?>

Yes I have,
You can find this on the right at http://www.merudi.net/cgi-bin/cl/index.pl?page=/nl/index.htm
(dutch).
The english site (still, but going to change) has the original ubb-classic contentisland:
http://www.merudi.net/cgi-bin/cl/index.pl?page=/en/index.htm
also on the right.

Interesting, thank you smile

I hope threads moves to adding as many options for the custom islands as ubb.classic had (javascript, styled html, etc.) smile

Don't count on it.

But I saw a lot of changes (for better) going from 7.1 to 7.2 My contentisland was automatically updated with extra info on the latest topics laugh.
