I recently came from Invision Board, and with their system I was able to do a php include to show the last X posts from whatever forums I decided. I have a forum setup that is for "Site News", I wish to use some PHP code to include the last X topics in that forum on the front page of my site. How would I go about doing that? Invison has a simple SSI file that I include, but I am not seeing it with VB. Thanks

You might want to check out vBadvanced, which is located at http://vbadvanced.com (totally free)

I was just looking at that. I dont really need a full portal system though. Is there any simple way to do this otherwise?

So thats the only one then?

Really that's the only one still actively being worked on that I know of.

Option 1: RSS feeds are a default feature in vbulletin. You can enable them in the admincp. Depending on your skill, you can use the javascript or xml syndication in your front page setup.

Option 2: If your coding your front page in php, you can probably use the code in the front page news module to help cobble something together.

How can I get the RSS feed for ONLY a certain forum category? As I setup a "Frontpage News" area where only admins/mods can start new topics, these I wish to have posted to the front page.

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