Simply call this script via PHP includes, or SSI .shtml tags to generate content
on the fly, streamed into your own webpage.

To show the last 10 topics and posts in the news forums...

include("http://invisionplus.net/forums/ssi.php?a=news&show=10&mforum=pss");

You can adjust the "show" attribute to display a different amount of topics.

To show the board statistics

include("http://invisionplus.net/forums/ssi.php?a=stats&mforum=pss");

To show the active users stats (x Members, X Guests, etc)

include("http://invisionplus.net/forums/ssi.php?a=active&mforum=pss");

Syndication..

RSS:

http://invisionplus.net/forums/ssi.php?a=o...=rss&mforum=pss
http://invisionplus.net/forums/ssi.php?a=o...=xml&mforum=pss

Will show last 10 topics in reverse chronological last post date order from
all the forums in the comma separated list

Change pss in the URLs to your forum access name to syndicate your own forum's content!

Fact: A changed signature draws attention.
Fact: Changing your signature often leads people to ignore it. (:


I do not handle anything other than GFX problems. You may contact me, but not about anything other than your GFX request or if you wish to have GFX help (a tutorial, help with a problem you have, etc.)

Hi !
A non-profit group I work with has an Invision board here:
http://www.invisionplus.net/forums/index.p...eottawa&act=idx

I use Attensa as an RSS reader. I'm wondering why only the topic shows up when I view it in my reader, and not the content of the post itself...
If you can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

I'm not sure if that is a feature of the RSS or not. We are having a few problems with some of the features of the RSS which we are trying to find someone to fix it for us. Once fixed, it may then work as you have stated.
