I got the topics fine.  I just wanted to add the message content, rather than the topics to the front page.

Yep, there's lots of javascript calendars, but integrating them into the posting form seems like something I won't have the time to tackle now.

I want to have an announcments section that is a normal part of the forum.  I just want to pull the message of the most recent announcments to the front page, and thought I'd use an RSS parser to do it.  Maybe a simple query change, and some formatting in the extern.php module would do it.

Though this is in the wrong section, perhaps, I'm also trying figure out a simple way for the user to add an expiration date to an announcment. I could add a field very easily/  But everytime I think about coding a calendar form for the user to enter the date correctly from a forum posting, I get a headache.

I've pretty have a calendar plugin for punBB, but it's really not integrated except for the common login/logout.  The nice part of the plugin is that the only changes to stock punBB code is to include a $pun_root variable in some other scripts so that the references in the base punBB files don't get messed when they are called from outside the base directory. If I get happy with it, I'll put it somewhere for others to take a look at it.  I also made a couple of minor database changes.

I really like this board.  If I can get the calendar integrated the way I want, I'll be able to use it for what I'm trying to do.

I know I can get a list of the newest topics by using extern.php with the RSS option, but I'd like to dump the contents of those messages in some instances, like an announcements section, if I could.

Any easy way to do that?

Thanks,

I've read a few topics about putting PunBB in an iframe, but I have a calendar application that I'd like to integrate into PunBB.  Bascally, I want the calendar to show below the header of the regular forum header, much like any of the other PunBB pages, like search, etc. 

I've looked at the code, but I'm not enough of an expert to figure out how to do it simply. I don't want to recode everything, and shooting in the dark will take more time than I have.

Any suggestions?  Is this something that is easy enough to do that I can accomplish it in a few hours?

Thanks,

peb

I need to customize the selction links in the header, but I can't figure out where the info resides.

Specifically l'd like " Home | User list | Rules | Search | Profile | Logout" links to be

Home | Calendar | User list | Rules | Search | Profile | Logout where Calendar is a link to a calendar system I'm integrating
for users.

Can anyone tell me where to find the  files I need to edit to do this?

Thanks,

peb
