Otsikko: How would I post Recent Topics on the index page
Kirjoitti: Nates - kesäkuu 06, 2007, 07:07:29 IP
Hi all,

How would I post recent topics on the index page similar to http://www.tinyportal.net/

I have been searching all day and cannot find the answer.

Thanks for any feedback

At last check, TinyPortal wasn't very stable and has been temporarily removed?

I've seen a lot of questions about problems originating from the mod. I would recommend looking for an alternative for now.

I already have a index page that I like and was hoping I could just add code.  Is this possible that would show Recent Topics.

Is this possible?

The main development of Tiny Portal moved to http://tinyportal.net




You can show the resent posts by going Admin > Current Posts > Number of recent posts to display on board index

Thanks for the replies.

The main focus of the site is a directory.  What I am trying to do is add a side menu section on the index page of the last 5 or 10 post.  This will hopefully attract more ppl to the forum.

I am looking for code that I can place and have the box look like the Recent Topics on the main of http://www.tinyportal.net/

Look at SSI.php in your forum directory.

ssi_examples.php to see examples of how SSI.php works.

To be more clear, use the examples from ssi_examples.php in your boardindex.template file.

Actually, no. That wouldnt work, if you want recent posts INSIDE of your forum then go Admin > Current Theme > Number of recent posts to display on board index (why I said posts earlier I dont know) which is much easier.

But if you want it OUTSIDE of your forum, then you'll have to use the ssi_examples.php method.
