Looking for a particular script

StephanieCordray · 12-20-2006, 11:45 PM

but darned if I can find it. There used to be a script you could insert into your main site's index page that showed the latest topics on a phpbb2 forum installed in another part of the site. Anybody got any ideas where I can find that script? I've searched phpbb.com for it with no luck. Maybe if I could remember the name of it, that would help but it's been awhile since I've done any real work on a phpbb forum.

did a quick search on phpbb as well, this is what i found...

http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic...ghlight=latest

http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic...=latest+topics

don't think either of those are what you are looking for though.

Nope, I downloaded the first one you linked to... wondering if I can modify it to work in a Joomla! cms, :-). wondering if it would be better to just start from scratch, though. Thanks for looking!

no problem... i would imagine the hardest part would be to figure out which fields to get the desired data from in the database.

StephanieCordray · 12-21-2006, 10:12 AM

yup... i found one called topics anywhere.... i think it will do although i haven't taken a really good look at it yet.

cool, sounds like it would do what you want. good luck!

StephanieCordray · 12-21-2006, 07:58 PM

There's hope. 11 members there and I don't even have all the wanted features installed... I won't mind too much as long as they don't complain while I'm tweaking.

I'm happy to report Topics Anywhere worked well. Once I made a place to put it and a place to put the place (divs) it worked very well. You can customize how many posts you want to show. I may up the number in the future and make a new place to put it as things get busy on that site.

Here's a link to that script should anybody else be interested.

It can be used as an rss feed as well which I will look into more... for now, I just needed the javascript.
