Latest XX posts ona non-vb page

As requested by Highlander (not in a thread )

This displays the latest amount of posts (you decide) on a non-vb page.
Everything you need to know is in the actual file.
You can stop showing posts from certain forums and only show posts from certain forums.
Config in the file aswell.

don't forgt to press install

Screenshot in next post

Read all the comments in the file!

Note: I know this works on 2.2.8 and 2.3, as I have tested both on my hard drive and online.
If it's easier as an instruction file on how to add it to a page instead of in it's own file, add other stuff, say here, and I'll make it, and make em like that in future.

Hi this sounds neat...
does this give the ability to add latest posts from a forum-A on a non vB page1 and also latest posts from forum-B on non vB page2?

yes

[Highlander]

got a blank output only.. need some help .. to get it run

sample:
http://www.spielplanet2.de/forum/latest_threads_.php

[Black Vivi]

you need to make a new file and use this in it:

PHP Code:

include("latest_threads.php"); 


then where you want it to appear, add this:

PHP Code:

echo($latestthread); 


or at the bottom of file add the second php code in the above.

ahh okay thx.. i see

[sonic3d]

ok it didn't work for me. echo($latestthread); and include("latest_threads.php"); just show up and thats it.

its a index.php file, so it should work.

Hi, another quick question. my main page is php....but if I wanted to have a threads list feed to an html file as well...would it be possible?

Nope, it would have to be PHP as well.
