We currently have Snitz installed in a /forum/ directory off the root. I am looking for a solution to post perhaps two or three titles of the most active topics to the home page of our site to drive traffic to the forum. Is there a MOD out there that will do this?

Hi,

I use a combo of tools to do this... first, I use rssfeed.asp (just search for it to find where to download) This file just goes in your /forum/ folder and you access it by going to http://yoursite.com/forum/rssfeed.asp ... then there are a ton of other asp examples out there that let you take that xml data and plug it into your regular site. I'll try to dig up some examples and post them here... unless someone else beats me to it.

I was able to do it by:

1. Downloading and installing the rssfeed.asp in by forum directory
2. Visited this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20060406140114/http%3A%2F%2Fhome.att.net%3A80%2F%7Ecodelibrary%2FXML%2Frss.htm and used the ASP samples provided.
3. I then edited the rssfeed.asp file to only export 5 items rather than 15
4. I edited the news.xsl file to hack the table and display properties a bit
5. I then added some CSS formating to my site's stylesheet for UL and LI with a XML class subset
6. I then created a single include file which I can place on any page and it takes care of the rest.
