Hot topics

dynamic list on html page

Is there an easy way to do this? Put the five most recently answered posts from the forum in a list and display them on the index.html page?

With a little knowledge of server-side script (Perl, PHP or ASP) and a basic SQL query, this can be done easily.

But if you have already a forum in your website, then either you have a already-made board (such as phpBB) or you have done yours yourself; in both case, I think you should have a basic knowledge of PHP and SQL.

Could you clarify what you want exactly?

I use topics anywhere mod which can be found on the phpbb website. Here's the desrciption:

With Topics Anywhere you can place links to the topics where users have posted recently from any forum on your phpBB on any page anywhere you want (no support for PHP, SSI, or whatever needed because it uses JavaScript to show the topic titles) or get those topics as a RSS feed - this is an extremely customizable addon so it can suit your needs - you even don't need to modify any files. All you need is phpBB running somewhere.

Allie - topics anywhere was exactly what I was looking for, thanks. The great thing is it is an add-on and not strictly a MOD.

You are a legend!

Glad I could help.
