Hi, website concerned is www.yeltz.co.uk
I want to try and show recent posts from the forum on the front page, I have searched this forum and the joomla forum, tried various extensions but non seem to work. I have not bridged the site and dont really want to at the moment but want the recent posts to appear on the front page of the site.
How do I do this??
Is there an application that actually works or is there something easy I can do in Joomla admin??
I know I can get info from here, but how do I use it?? http://www.yeltz.co.uk/forum/ssi_examples.php
Best Regards and thanks in advance.

you will have to build your own joomla modules using SSI.php and the ssi_functions.
How would I do that?
Im not entirely sure, sounds easy to do.
Thanks for your help

you have to build a joomla module... (see joomla support for that)
in the joomla module your would include('path/to/SSI.php'); and then call ssi_recentPosts();
I know how to build a module in Joomla but wouldnt know what to put where really to be honest.
Thats where im stuck ???
look at ssi_examples.php
You could also look into using the SMF RSS feed capability.

Im being so thick and probably missing a trick somewhere.

Looked at this also and may be the easy option I think.
Any other help advice is more than welcome.
