I have a html message board / forums and would like to take the last
message posted and put it on the front of my website somehow. Does
anyone know of a program that would do this automatically?
powered with PHP or CGI? Where are the posts stored?
I've done something this before with a message board that ran on another
site and that didn't have a newsfeed (I wrote something that scraped the
posts and returned an RSS feed). I don't recommend this if there is any
other option.
In your case, look first at what the supplier of your board software has
to offer - possibly there is already a way to export an RSS newsfeed.
It's very easy to use such a newsfeed to put the posts on your front page.
The second option is to fetch the posts directly from the database (if
one exists - I know some forums that use flat files, and maybe that's
what you mean by "html").
Hi - you are right it's a flat file type of message boards that stores
the html files in a folder on my server. Therefore, there is no
database used. The author doesn't have an rss feed for this board.
