I’m looking for a plugin that will allow me to display the last 5 or so posts in a designated forum on another page outside of the BBPress/WP installation.

Something similar to thisL

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp/

Any suggestions?

Couldn’t you just take the latest posts RSS feed and use that in your other page?

Use this in header :

<?php

// URL location of your feed

$feedUrl = "http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ashfameblog?format=xml";

// Replace the above URL with yours

$feedContent = "";



// Fetch feed from URL

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $feedUrl);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);



// FeedBurner requires a proper USER-AGENT...

curl_setopt($curl, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "gzip, deflate");

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3");



$feedContent = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);

?>

Use this to show :

<?php

$count=0;

// Did we get feed content?

if($feedContent && !empty($feedContent))

{

$feedXml = @simplexml_load_string($feedContent);

if($feedXml)

{

?>

<ul>

<?php foreach($feedXml->channel->item as $item): if($count==6) { break; } ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>"><?php echo $item->title; ?></a></li>

<?php $count++; endforeach; ?>

</ul>

<?php }} ?>
