im having trouble with getting a news feed code for my site?
I need a different design for these pages and all the important codes are scatered in other files.
which means i can't really use the mini portal :S
i just need something saying in one file the things it needs (templates and needed codes).
(i guess i should be specific)
Important Info:
data
-----forums < where the forums are
-----pages
------------home.php
------------downloads.php
------------ect...
\/ Subject: No Downloads \/ Message: The rest \/
the important codes are in these files?
header.php
include/common.php
include/parser.php
i thought it might be simple like typing...
<?php
punforum("1, 2, 3");
?>
(and this would do)
