Newest Posts on Main page

Is there a hack that lets you put the most recent posts in the forum on the main page of your site?

Where can I get it?

If you use this, than all threads are shown on the mainpage, even threads that are in internal forums.

Is there a solution for this?

very nice and easy to install.

Is there a way i could have the date of the post and the name of the poster + the title? like in http://www.sitepoint.com/

thank you in advance

yes, that is the script that will solve all of our problems.
I have asked Wayne on their forums about it, but got no reply

you can only include php code in a php page, which means it ends with either .php or .php3
a .shtml page can't execute php.

Um, actually it will if you use a SSI. As long as your server supports PHP parsing, you can include a PHP file via SSI (see this). Also, you can use the extension of .phtml on PHP files, assuming your server supports this.

Do you mean private forums that are limited access? If so, here's the solution. Change the line

PHP Code:

$query = "SELECT * FROM thread ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxthreads"; 


to

PHP Code:

$query = "SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forumid!=XX ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxthreads"; 


and change the XX to the number of the forum you want to exclude. (You can determine the forum number by going to your main forums page and mousing over the link to each forum. The forum number is the part of the url after forumid; e.g. http://yoursite.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=36. To exclude more than one forum, add this:

PHP Code:

 AND forumid!=XX 


for each additional forum you want to exclude. MAKE SURE you add a space before the word AND and a space after XX and you change the XX to the number you want excluded. Example: I want to exclude forums 6, 12, and 35.

PHP Code:

$query = "SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forumid!=6 AND forumid!=12 AND forumid!=35 ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxthreads"; 


Second example: I want to exclude forum 6.

PHP Code:

$query = "SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forumid!=6 ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $maxthreads";
