Hi there,

Anyone know a decent hack for showing latest forum topics on a website home page? Looking to interegate some of my vB forum into my website and here's where I start off - so if someone could suggest a hack then that would be great.

Cheers!

Heres my site...look to the top right. www.clockcrew.net I hope this is what you are looking for. You will need to edit a few things to fit your site.

PHP Code:


			<? include("./global.php"); 
include_once("./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php"); //for bbcodeparse2
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<?

$postitems = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM thread WHERE `forumid`='".str_replace(",","' OR `forumid`='",$PULLFROM)."' ORDER BY `dateline` DESC LIMIT ".$POSTLIMIT);

if ($DB_site->num_rows($postitems) > 0)
{
    $postchunk = "";
    while ($qx = $DB_site->fetch_array($postitems))
        {
            $postchunk .= "* <a href=\"bbs/showthread.php?t=".$qx["threadid"]."\">".$qx["title"]."</a><br>";
        }
}

It's not complete.

I think maybe this would be what he meant:

PHP Code:


			<?php
$forumspath = "/path/to/forums/from/root"; //no trailing slash
$forumsurl = "http://ww.url.to/forums"; //no trailing slash

chdir($forumspath);
include("./global.php");
include_once("./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php"); //for bbcodeparse2
chdir('../');

        echo $postchunk;
        }
} 
?>

I think. :ermm:
