Latest Forum discussions - on phpbb

[micmol]

Dear All

Can someone please explain how I can duplicate a theme I see on many a forum related website.

I want to place my "latest forum discussions" on my index page.

I really like how sitepoint have it layed out. I currently use a phpbb board.

Looking forward to your replies

I'm sure there are hacks for it... Check it at www.phpbb.com or something...

There are hacks for almost anything...

Hi,
Try http://www.phpbbhacks.com. That has to be the biggest PHPbb Mod list around.

Does anyone know the exact name of the hack?

Thank-you

Hi,
I found this one with a quick search. If you are using PHP for your homepage I believe this would work.

Ok. This looks a little to tough for me.

I don't use php.

So if I'm prepared to pay someone to help me. should this post be moved?

I've got a little script I've coded to do the latest x many discussions Only works with mySQL (which is what most people use). I'd be happy to install it for you, it's relativly easy.

It's called the Glance Mod.

I have it on my site - see http://www.scifiminds.net for an example of it in use.

If you have issues with a particular forum software then it's highly recommended you take quieries about it to the actual forum software in question.

Here it's taken you a week just to get the mod name. I wouldn't be surprised if it would have taken hours or even minutes at the phpbb support forums.

Just 2c.
