smachol that looks really complicated. Is there an easier hack available?

You know something were you may insert a few lines in a few php files and add a couple of templates and get a nice graphic control with a few switches in the AdminCP. Something where you don't need root access to a server or a command line (command lines scare me). In other words something I could udnerstand?

What I'd like is to be able to have a couple of options:

1. Shoot out the entire message from the forum to another site. That way you can have your news (15 complete messages) on other people sites and not just headlines.

2. Shoot out just the headlines with links to where they are posted like what the link to the hack above does. So that people could just throw the headlines in one of their side tables on their site. Kind of like with Phpnuke where the blocks on the sides can have XML news feeds from anywhere.

Then allow both those options to have two more options.

1. Output the latest 15 threads from the baord altogether.

2. Ouput the latest 15 threads from a specific forum. then allow multiple forum outputs so you can have multiple news feeds.

If this is XML is should work with other XMl type stuff like MoveableType and pmachine right? Or for that matter any other app that can receive XML.

Actually that is a very simple hack. I'm not much of a hacker and I had no trouble with that one at all. I'm not aware of any other hacks like this.
