News Option in GForum (similar to wwwThreads)
Greetings!

This is principally aimed to the GT Staff.

In wwwThreads there is a small script w3tnews.pl, which you can include on any page on your site as a SSI and which links to News Items (posted on the Forum). I found this to be a great advantage as it saves from having another 'what's new' type script.

Is there similar functionality in GForum or, if not, could it be placed on a wish list!

Regards,

Clint.

Hi,

We have something like this on our home page, but it's not part of Gossamer Forum. We can definately add something like this in.

Cheers,

Alex

That would be great. The beauty I see in it linking back to the Forum is that it not only takes people there to read the latest news - but it keeps all you news in one place (without having to add extra scripts etc). I'm not knocking some of the other scripts out there - I used NewsPro for quite some time until I started with wwwThreads. It's just more convenient ...

Thanks,

Clint.

I'll second that request... to make it more complicated, how about a code generator where one could select from a variety of options like which categories/forums they want to display, which posts (most popular, newest, most replies, etc) ... when you get to it, of course. Wink
