A latest posts bar?

[beesbees]

Would it be possible for any of you coders out there to make a "Latest posts bar" that wouldn read the 10 last posts or whatever and display the titles on the front page?

Any help gratefully recieved

I think beesbees is refering to the 10 latest posts you see on lots of site's front pages.

We have a portal that does pretty much that, but it's broken at the moment

The link to it is http://www.mybboard.com/community/portal.php - but as I said, it doesn't work right now, sorry

[beesbees]

hehe lol.. well at least I know its possible...!

[martin]

ok, are you wanting it to go down the side. coding it nots a problem, doing the html templates well take me some time.

edit, are you wanting sumthing likes http://www.mybbmods.com/martin/index.php
if so lets me know wut side of the index u wants on and how post to show, if other than 10

[beesbees]

Yeah, just like that.. but will it be in a a seperate file so it can be on the front page? http://www.gamesnetuk.co.uk see the bar on the right where it says "404 error" thats where its going to be....











And can it show like 15? Thanks.. bees.

Could you not maybe just use search.php?action=getnew? Is that more or less the same?
