Thread: Display latest topic or post on homepage

What do I need to do to enable the homepage to display phpbb's latest post or topics?

did you try the RSS mod and point the Rss Feed block in the admin panel/builders/homepage builder to your feed?

I haven't tried that yet coz I don't know what url feed phpbb uses. Can you point it out to me? Thanks!

where can I find the rss mod for phpbb?

theres a few out there try this one from Wackomenace Tools Phbb - RSS mod

Thanks for the link! I followed the instructions however I'm getting these errors when I try to go the the rss.php page.

help anyone?

sounds like you didint put proper variables "BEGIN Configuration" to "END Configuration"

Hmm.. I think I did. I'll post the config here.

//
// BEGIN Configuration
//

// Relative path from this file to your phpBB root folder
$phpbb_root_path = 'forum/';

// Feed language
$feed_language = 'en';

// Feed copyright message
$feed_copyright = '';

// Feed image URL
$feed_image = '';

// How many posts do you want returned (count)? Specified in the URL with "c=". Defaults to 10, upper limit of 50.
$count = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['c'])) ? intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['c']) : 10;
$count = ($count == 0) ? 10 : $count;
$count = ($count > 50) ? 50 : $count;

// Which forum do you want posts from (forum_id)? Specified in the url with "f=". Defaults to all (public) forums.
$forum_id = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['f'])) ? intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['f']) : '';
$sql_forum_where = (!empty($forum_id)) ? ' AND f.forum_id = '.$forum_id : ' ';

// Return topics only, or all posts? Specified in the URL with "t=". Defaults to all posts (0).
$topics_only = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['t'])) ? intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['t']) : 0;
$sql_topics_only_where = '';
if ($topics_only == 1) {
$sql_topics_only_where = 'AND p.post_id = t.topic_first_post_id';
}

//
// END Configuration
//

i think you need:
/public_html/forum/
or
/forum/
in
$phpbb_root_path = 'forum/';
