Display a board from your forum on your web page

[jjmac]

I wrote this simple program for my web site and thought other people may (or may not) find it useful. Basically you choose a board to use as announcements, then you include this file onto your web page somewhere and it will display the latest announcements with a link to go to the forum and read the entire thing. Pretty simple, and the output is bland unless you use some CSS. Here's what mine looks like:



Instead of posting all the code here (so it doesn't take up all the space) I just have a link to a txt file that is the code. Copy and paste it if you want to use it, or right click/download and rename it to .php. Here's the link:  hxxp:www.kromefx.com/projects/forum_news.txt [nonactive]

Hope someone finds it useful.

[edit]Perhaps I should have posted this in Tips and Tricks? If so would someone be kind enough to move it? Thanks [/edit]

Why not use ssi_boardNews()?

Why not use ssi_boardNews()?

hmmm. Mainly because I didn't know about it. I've never used a forum software before. I'll check it out, thanks

Search for SSI.php

How can I use ssi_boardNews() to display my forum news on another web site? Thanks.

Use RSS instead.

Then simply place an RSS reader on the other site.
