Any one interested in seeing FCB on their own webpages?

[bouwob]

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.

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

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.

Could I attach it to my ebay auctions to increase hits to FCB?

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.

 

[bouwob]

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.

 

[cgilmo]

if i'm not mistaken, blogspot and wordpress both have a text widget that allows html


putting the code in one of those should work.

Just marking this so I can add it later.
