custom "Recent Topics from Board X, Y, Z only" php block

[IchBin]

You could try in a phpbox to:

Code Select Expand

include('path/to/other/SSI.php');
Your recentopics code here

Instead of using bullet, can it have line (hr) to separate each thread?

[denis]

Ok. I am 3 months late  but I am finally ready to try this. Unfortunately I do not know how to do this so I have a few questions.

• 1 - Do I create a new block or do I change the existing "Recent Topics"? 
• 2 - Is there a way to make sure that the latest "Recent Topics" come first?(Remember I have 6 SMF/TP instances working so I want the lastest from all of these forums to appear first)
• 3 - I found this article : http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=1234.msg81842#msg81842. Is this the best code to do the "Recent Topics"

Thank's
Ps.: I will try to do this myself but I am sure I will be back for more questions

I have a question... maybe i should post this in a new thread but i thought i would give it a bash here first.

I want to have a recent board that scrolls like an rss feed... that way i can use the same space the it would take for 5 recents but have 30 in it scrolling.... allows for more activity and such.... also a feature that disables it per profile so if the people dont like it they can stop it.

Is there something like this? if not can one do it?
