Hi,

I'm going to be starting a pretty major project - designing a CMS that uses VB as a backend. For starters, I'd like to know how to go about fetching threads (with content from the first post only) from a specific forum and displaying them on an external page, let's say the 5 latest posts. Let's say I have forum called "news", with posts like this:

thread 1: title: "news1" content: "test 1 blahblah"
thread 2: title: "news2" content: "test 2 blahblah"
thread 3: title: "news3" content: "test 3 blahblah"

I would like to fetch these threads and post them on an external page so they appear in a table like this:

"news3
test 3 blahblah

news2
test 2 blahblah

news1
test 1 blahblah"

Can someone at least point me in the right direction? For now this is all I want to accomplish. The more complex stuff comes later.

vB External does that I think.

Yes it does. I use VBExternal currently. I'm looking for a basic coding way of doing it though. VBE is just a quick fix for now.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
