Ok, so I followed a cut/paste tutorial on having your phpbb posts show up on an external page. I’ve accomplished that here:
http://www.theuflonline.com (lower middle)
What I am missing though is the poster’s avatar. The tutorial didn’t give the code to do that. I was hoping someone could edit what was given so the avatar will show up. I’d like it to look something like this:
http://premiermaddenfootball.com/index.php (on the bottom right)
Here is the php code:
<?php
/*
* home.php
* Description: example file for displaying latest posts and topics
* by battye (for phpBB.com MOD Team)
* September 29, 2009
*/
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './msgboard/';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/bbcode.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx);
// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup('viewforum');

?>
And displaying it I have it as;
<!-- BEGIN announcements -->
<table border=1 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=1 bordercolor=black width=550>
<tr><td><font color=white face=verdana size=2> <b> <a href={announcements.TOPIC_LINK} target=_blank>{announcements.TOPIC_TITLE}</a> </b>
<tr><td><font color=white face=verdana size=1> {announcements.TOPIC_AUTHOR} / {announcements.TOPIC_DATE}
</table>
<!-- END announcements -->
I really appreciate any help I can get!! THANKS!!
