Hi, SimplePortal Studs!

SimplePortal was suggested to me by someone who thinks it *might* work to do something I need. After trying to sort through all the features, bug fixes, and upgrades listed on the Mod page, I'm not so sure. I don't wanna install it to find out and then have crumbs left over (a lotta mods leave crumbs behind), so I thought I'd ask if SimplePortal can do what I need and hope you'll understand what I'm asking and say "Yes! It'll do that easily!" (grin)

In Ikonboard, you can output text files with all sortsa handy tags, but I like to just output the URLs and titles of the five most recent posts in each forum. Then I use an SSI include to stick it on my home page (which isn't the forum) with a heading like "Latest Posts in the Science & Technology Forum," or "New in the Current Events Forum," and so on. IOW, it's like a sampling of what's going on in the forums and it's up-to-the-minute. Very spiderable.

Here's a sample line you'd find in one of my text files (I'm making this up):


--- Code: ---ยป <a href="http://snarkish.com/forum/science/latest-post-here">Scientists discover prehistoric laptop</a>
--- End code ---

Then I use an SSI include to include the text file on my home page.

I hope this is clear: it outputs a text file with links in it. That's what *I* do, anyway. I could, if I wanted to, include the text of posts, and the date, and the member name of the poster, and so on and so forth, but this happens to be what I like in the files. Some people get elaborate and make entire pages. Me, I like to put these things on my home page so it changes often, making it sexy to spiders.

Is this something that SimplePortal does, or shall I go look elsewhere? My users aren't shoutbox-type users (but if they were, I think they'd looove SimplePortal!).

Thanks for your assistance,

Binky

I've tried it on another live web version and it worked.
I guess something is messed up within my files? Not sure.

Anyway this mod looks very promising :).

Or did this start the first time you installed SimplePortal?

This has happened since I installed SimplePortal as far as I can remember.


Sorry for the late reply I have had some problems the past few weeks..
