Never mind the last post. I found it had to be changed in the en_common.php file as well as the functions.php file. Worked good.....   wink

It worked great for me too! Now a question, How do I change the word "HOME" in the menu, to read "FORUMS" ??

I tried simply changing the word in functions.php but when I did, the option is blanked out and displays nothing.

did you change forums/extern.php?action=new&show=5&fid=11 to point to your extern.php?

Yes I did.

I went as far as displaying the complete www. path in 1 test. Each test I tried simply displays nothing on the index page, however, if I key the synatx into the browsers address bar, it display the results just fine. I'm lost!!!!!!!! I know this is something simple, but I simply cannot get it to work.

I tried the command

<!--#include virtual="forums/extern.php?action=new&show=5&fid=11" -->

inside the index.html, but it displays nothing. Does the index.html file attribute need to be changed for this to display? sad

Thanks! I'll try this.

I've read the instructions in the extern.php on displaying various forum information on my homepage. If I key in the syntax at the browsers address bar, the forum info displays fine but obviously in full screen. The problem I run into is, how do I incorporate this forum information into a small cell or table in my index.html? I could create a link on the homepage to display the info, but I simply want it to automatically display in a small cell or table in the index.html. Can someone help this idiot? I use Frontpage 2002 for my editor, but if someone has the correct code, I can can easily cut and past it into the index.

Thanks for any help you can give me. smile

Look at extern.php, the top of the file has instructions.

I tried to make the extern.php work on my homepage but could not figure out the html code to do so. I attempted to use the include statement using Frontpage 2000. Can anyone help me? sad
