Handy and I collaborated on the code for a few minutes (via SubEthaEdit), and here is our most current version...

Edit: Updated code is now in the first post

This is a VERY basic implementation of it, and probably the easiest.

[Handyman]

Highway, I just updated the code even further so it's even easier to use.

[Highway of Life]

Yeah, saw that... I edited my copy out, so to keep in the first post, now that it has more details.

what does this look like?

are there any screen shots?

[Highway of Life]

It basically gives you the ability to display a post anywhere on a website that has phpBB3 installed on it...
So, for example, lets say you have:
http://mywebsite.tld/index.php <-- on this page, you would use this script and display, for example, the most recent post in the announcements forum.
-- only requirement is that you would have to have phpBB3 installed on your website... anywhere on your website... location is not an issue.

I can't see your webpage Highway of Life, so, I want to see the last 5 post of a specific forum ans subforums from my main website page can you help me to do this??

[Highway of Life]

sorry... it turned it into a link. It's not a real website/page, it's just an example.
Whenever I give a website example, I always use .tld, (Top Level Domain), it is not a real domain extension.

Did you try downloading the Zip file Handyman posted?

[Handyman]

There... download the zip file again... it has instructions on how to get the last number of posts (the number is customizable)
