How would I get this mod to open the links in the same page as opposed to a new one?
+++Never Mind I just figured it out, thanks, great mod BTW+++

Hey Kurt. This is an EXCELLENT MOD! Simple, easy to use, but incredibly useful.
I want to implement it on my live site, but I have one issue. My SQL Server machine tends to error out sometimes (DNS error after, like 5 or 10 minutes of waiting).
My intention is to put this on my home page, near the top, to drive people to the forums. But in those instances where the DB server errors out (sits there and does nothing), visitors to my site would see nothing - not a good thing 
My question do you or does anyone else have a good way to structure my page or this MOD so that the rest of my home page will load and display before it attempts to load the forum links?
Thanks.

Have looked at this MOD, I like it alot. However is there a way to also limit the number of links displayed by category? THis would be useful for Gaming sites, where the Members own websites can then display the syndication of related posts, rather than all posts.
If that makes sense?
Regards,
Stu

Thats exactly what I would love to have also. Its not that cool to have topics listed from my testforum. I would like to exclude some of the forums.

Sorry for the delay in responses, I've been busy and it seems that the Snitz forums are having problems sending email in a timely manner. 
knowbetter- It should load the rest of the page, then the links, since all it's just a Javascript file. If you want to get around your problem, and have ASP access on your homepage, you can download the XML version at regular intervals and format that however you want. This would allow you to only use a local file, and skip it if it takes too long to download.

Well, I haven't messed with it at all since March (when I first coded it), but there are a few things you can try. In the Syndicate.asp file, you'll see the two methods it uses to build a SQL Statement getting the desired records. You can edit those statements and force them to only select records WHERE TOPICS.CAT_ID= Whatever you want. You can also put an option in the setup page that allows much the same thing.
I'll see if I can't make it do that later, but that would require installing the forums again and I have other projects going right now.

If I click on "Most Active" and hit submit I get
line1
error:syntax error
like wedont had. I downloaded the latest zip. Any ideas on what is causing this error?

i didn't d/l this MOD, but try this:
before you render the javascript file,
type
<% sub syndicate() %>
after the javascript file,
type
<%
end sub
syndicate()
%>
it should look like:
[code]
<% sub syndicate %>
<script language="Javascript" src="syndicationfile.asp">
<% end sub
syndicate()
%>

I am using the most active option with the top 5 entries but more than 5 appear. Please see http://members.home.net/sylvainamyot/index.html for example.
It appears I have 3 entries tied for fifth place and therefore displaying 7 entries instead of 5. I tried 1 through 4, works fine. 5,6,7 always show 7 entries since the three that are tied and anything above 8 works fine. Can the code be modified to show only 5 entries for this situation?
