Calling a thread to a PHP page

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=7692.0

In the thread linked above, I asked how I could display threads on the front page. I found out it was very easy: Admin > TinyPortal > Settings > Frontpage

What if I wanted to display a thread, in the same format (with the "Read More" and "Write Comment" links at the bottom, etc) but on a seperate .php web page?

Basically I would like to be able to link people to a page such as www.mywebsite.com/article123.php and have a specific thread displayed on that page exactly how it is displayed on the front page as if it were a blog/article.

Firstly, is it possible to pull up one specific thread like that?

Also, can someone tell me the PHP code to do this?

Thank you!

Nobody? Really, all I am asking for is the code that is used on the frontpage to pull up forum posts.

This feature is in the next release balzak. Articles with comments.

[balzak]

That is not what I need, though.

Then maybe you can elaborate more?

When you say this:

Basically I would like to be able to link people to a page such as www.mywebsite.com/article123.php and have a specific thread displayed on that page exactly how it is displayed on the front page as if it were a blog/article.

Are you saying that you want a "Thread" posted in the forum to link to the article? If so, thats on Blocs todo list I believe.

Maybe I shouldn't have used the term "article", because people may think I am referring to the TP "articles".

Allow me to eloborate...

Here is my site: http://tinyurl.com/j4xkg

As you can see, on the front page, a thread is displayed.

I would like to take the block that the thread is displayed in, and plug it into whatever I want. Let's say I have a .php page with something on it already, but I would also like to display that thread.

That way, I can link someone to a .php web page and the thread would be displayed.

Is that clear enough? Thanks.

I'm not sure how to call a single post to any article. Especially if its a page outside of the forum or TP. It would require a database call or two I'm sure. But it's beyond my knowledge sorry.

You mean like a rss feed?

You mean like a rss feed?

I really don't know much past HTML... But I think that is what I am referring to. Does that help?

Can someone tell me how to do the RSS feed?
