MyBB Community Forums

On the request of kruzzen here is my code for my index page, and news page Angel

Its just a copy+paste of my code, so edit it to suit your needs, and to fit your template.
Design is pretty straight forward, so should be easy enough to understand.

Index ¬

<?php
    $fid1 = 4; //enter your fid for the announcements block
    $limit1 = 5; //enter how many announcements you want to show
    $fid2 = 5; //enter your fid for the news block
    $limit2 = 5; //enter how much news to be shown
    $forumpath = './'; //enter your forum path
    chdir($forumpath);
    define("IN_MYBB", 1);
    require './global.php';
    require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/class_parser.php";
    $parser = new postParser;
