Topic: Displaying latest posts away from the forum directory.

Hello.

I'm loving punBB already, simple and effective. smile

My punBB sits in a subdirectory (let's call it 'forum'). My main website is straight on the domain. I would like to get my forums 5-10 latest posts (with only the topic subject visible) and display them in a list at my main website.

I read the wiki's integration section and spotted an example on displaying latest 10 posts, but I'm not sure if it works for me the way I want. I'm not a PHP/backend expert so any info on this would be nice. smile

Many thanks in advance!

(And sorry if this is the wrong section to ask this.)

You have to define FORUM_ROOT correctly. This code must work fine:

define('FORUM_ROOT', './forum/');

I've managed it very easily here:

I'm using dokuwiki and it has some very simple syntax to let me embed my latest forum topics.
