[derron]

Can someone on here give me a .Php code that takes the 3 most recent posts from a certain thread on my forums and shows them on the homepage of my website.

Why did you put a quote in the first topic. I am allowing 90 characters from the post. You can change it in the index.html to what you want.by changing the line in this part

$_REQUEST['max_characters']=90;

What software are you using for the home page? content. portal, uportal or your own html?

So do you know any php? 

The zipped forum comes with a folder called tools. In it is a program called ssi and a folder called ssi_templates. You can copy those to your forum folder and use that to create what you want.

If you do not know php code I will fix it. But if you do know any php try it yourself and I will help you finish it.

What do I replace this line with?

 

echo "<pre><br>";print_r($to_echo);echo "</pre>";

Why did you ask for the php code to get the information without the html if you had no idea how to use it?

I updated the my first reply with html code it so you can use it.

[derron]

What did my last post say? You replace that line with your html something like this

<<<HTML
<div class="sub_page_c">
<div id="spc_head"><p>Title Here</p></div>
<div id="spc_cont">
<div align="center" class="dot">
Description Here</a><br> <div align="right">
<font color="FFCC99">
Date Here </font>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sub_page_c">
<div id="spc_head"><p>{$to_echo['title']}</p></div>
<div id="spc_cont">
<div align="center" class="dot">
{$to_echo['topic_link']}<br><br> <div align="right">
<font color="FFCC99">
{$to_echo['rfc_date']} </font>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
HTML;
