Any one interested in seeing FCB on their own webpages?

I am on my personal web page all of the time and it bothers me that I have to keep clicking around to see what is happening on the board.

Since I am lazy, I decided to do something about it. With the code below, you can now see the last 10 topics that occur on FCB without leaving your own homepage.

this is a work in progress but you should be able to add the below code to your page and never have to change it ever again.

Only 1 item you should have to change in either.
http://freedomcardboard.com/recent.php?dir=H&forums=7

the number to the right of forums= should be all of the forum ids you would like to show up. You can tell the forum id of each forum by looking at the URL.

http://freedomcardboard.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

baseball would be forum 2. If you are not interested in distinct forums, just remove the &forums= part out of the address and you will get them all.


Looking for feedback and would like to see a few of these on several different pages so I can tell if my formatting works correctly.

Code:
<iframe frameborder="0" src ="http://freedomcardboard.com/recent.php?dir=H&forums=7" SCROLLING="NO" allowtransparency="true" width="500" height="350px">
  

Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

Code:
<iframe frameborder="0" src ="http://freedomcardboard.com/recent.php?dir=V&forums=2,4,16,17" SCROLLING="NO" allowtransparency="true" width="220" height="600px">
  

Your browser does not support iframes.</p>

Would be a great feature if I knew how to make a decent webpage. :oops: :cry:

Nice work though, and I hope it works out for those that know what they are doing.

I'm assuming you're doing this w/ xml, so why not just atom/rss feed that biznatch so that people can style it easier.

actually, doesn't phpbb have an rss/subscribe feature built in?

Because most people do not know how to set up RSS.

This is an easy copy and paste job that anyone who runs a simple page will know how to do.

I am not sure.

I would hold off for now. We need to find out if doing so would penalize either you or the site.

I dig. Wordpress and all that blogging stuff has sorta a plug and play option in thar for rss and I generally assume people use that if they have no coding sexperience.

Is there any way to make the iframe inherent the stylesheet? hrm.

From my understanding this is not possible.

An iframe cannot inherit from the page it is on and vice verse, since they know nothing about each other.

That said, I likely could add some values to change the colors of the links and vlinks if people want it.

They would probably cancel the auction.

From eBay help:

You may not include: Links to websites or pages that offer to trade, sell, or purchase goods or services outside of eBay.

Can this be integrated into the right-hand pane of blogspot web pages? My blog is on that site instead of being some of the other webpages I hand-code and I certainly wouldn't mind putting a list of the newest 10 baseball forum posts on my blogspot page if it can be done.
