Re: Export forum posts to another page
Hey gang,
Info on that page appears to be a bit outdated. I'm looking for a way to extend the entire contents of posts within a given forum. Just like what appears to be going on here at punbb.informer.com
as you can see here: http://suncoastaviansociety.org/
I've been able to get the post title extended.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
Re: Export forum posts to another page
thats just a matter of grabbing topic data from the punbb SQL tables..relatively easy if you know a little php.
Re: Export forum posts to another page
Around line 258 of extend.php, under list item <li>
Add "echo $item['description'];" with whatever formatting you'd like to extend topic message.
Figured I'd share in case anyone else was interested. 
Re: Export forum posts to another page
That section "Recent Forums posts" in the front PunBB page is looking well.
Can the webmaster post its source?

Any ideas?
This:
<div class="fsb_widget">
<h3>Recent Forums Topics</h3>
<?php include('http://forexsb.com/forum/extern.php?action=active'); ?>
</div>

Use this instead:
<ul>
<?php echo file_get_contents('http://forexsb.com/forum/extern.php'); ?>
</ul>Re: Export forum posts to another page
