I want to put a window/frame on another website displaying latest messages from my forum. Which piece of code and from which file do I need?

Thanks!

Mediman, all I cound find under the link was a bunch files, I browsed them but none of them seemed to be what I needed i.e. an HTML file with a window frame showin the latest messages from a forum somewhere else.
I know that I can have them displayed on the forum website but I would like to show somewhere else to encourage posters to use it.

I found an example on www.spymac.com - on the right side. I'm beginnig to think maybe it should be done the other way round: edit index.php into a website instead of pluggin in part of YaBBSE board in to a HTML website...

why are u using an html site? why not an php site with html content?

and then use an simple mysql query (which i can write for you) to read this messages out!

Mediman, you're probably right as always. I just didn't want to mess up my index.htm (www.reaktor.org.pl) How can I convert my index.htm into php document then? I would really appreciate that!

Danke schoen !!!

this is very easy:

only rename your file from index.html to index.php (you have not to change your html content!!!!!)

now you can in this file use <? phpcontent ?>

it´s still an html file but with the ability to have php content inside

example

Code Select
<html>
<hr>
<br>
<p>
<?
echo "bla bla";
?>
<br>
<hr>
</html>
yes i know a stupid example!

One step closer, thanks! But not quite there yet...

I paste the code from News.php into part of my index.php but didn't know how to redirect the commands to the commands that are in a different directory (/yabbse).

"Warning: MySQL: A link to the server could not be established in /reaktor/index.php on line 73
No Board Specified!"

How to solve that? Thanks!

Allright so I copied index.php from my yabbse folder to my website folder to eventually leave only "latest messages" out of it and paste all the code from my index.htm (like I said above is to have my website with a separate "latest messages" window). I realized I need to copy QueryString.php and Settings.php. I wanted to copy template.php as well to narrow it down to only "latest messages". I assume index.php somehow draws its look from template.php. But I haven't notice any obvious link in QueryString.php and Settings.php or Index.php to template.php that I could redirect and edit my new template.php.

I know this is puzzled way of explaining things but that's how I feel, too.  ::)

Plz, guide a little bit further...

if you renamed your index.html to index.php you can put in a simple query to readout the latest messages! if you need a little codesnippet...

btw: this way you don´t need to use SSI!
