Yep.. if you look in the Block Code Snippets, you should find what you need.
Or simply:

http://yoursite.com/ssi_examples.php

http://yoursite.com/ssi_examples.shtml

The snippets will already have arrays which control how the SSI function outputs it's results.

What did you put in an article?

Try this:

PHP Block/Article

Code Select Expand



ssi_boardNews($board = 40.0, $limit = 5, $start = null, $length = 610, $output_method = 'echo');



$board = board id number
$limit = Number of Topics to display
$length = Character count
