you could probably do an sql query for recent forum posts and display in a table format (or other format). It really is not that hard. If you are unfamiliar with sql queries, check this out: http://www.w3schools.com/Php/php_mysql_select.asp caredesign.net |
Deano helped me once on those things. You need Deano's PHP block, and the following coding: $sCode = ' <iframe coding> '; echo $sCode; Use that coding at the beginning & end to get the iframe working. |
he wants to post the recent forums in another site - so he has to access the database of the original site to retrieve the data. Is the second site a dolphin site, or no? caredesign.net |
2nd site is Magento. Will basically be dropping an iframe into an HTML block. If I can get just the latest forum posts or index to appear in an iframe on its own... Need to figure out iframing just the post block though, don't want to iframe the whole page which would then include the D header and menu... |
The Dolphin installation would though be in a /folder on the same URL.
Does anyone know what code is pulled into a php block for the latest focum posts? Might be possible to convert this maybe? |
Is there something wrong with just using the RSS feed? My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees. |
Nope :-) What would the RSS feed be though? In the page block it shows as {SiteUrl}forum/?action=rss_all replacing SiteUrl with the actual site URL still doesnt work with an RSS feeder Not really worked with RSS before, is there a standard way to find the RSS feed for forum posts? Is there something wrong with just using the RSS feed?
