forum posts on main page

[convoy90]

Does anyone know of a script that will allow me to take the most recent posts from my message board and show them in a text box on the home page. I was thinking about RSS feeds but I don't really want to do it because I am not familiar with them.

The website is http://wondersuns.com and I am wanting to put it in the "Latest Discussion" section.

Thanks for any help.

There is no "script" for this-- it's something that will need to be integrated with your forum software-- they aren't all the same. That said, there might be something availble, but for your forum. So search for "[phpbb] display posts extension", etc., depending on your software.

You could also write this by grabbing the three(?) newest posts from the database and displaying them, manually. It wouldn't be entirely difficult with a little knowledge of PHP and MySQL. In order to do this, though, you'd still need to integrate it with the system-- know what tables and what data in the database to use.
