UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Most recent post extraction script.

Okay, so this isn't a hack to UBB, but it's an interface that extracts the 5 most recent posts to your UBB, and outputs them using SSI. I still have some tweaking to do, but it works good. There is still a problem when someone posts after midnight and the dailyindex file gets cleared...so I need to fix that. Here are two demos:

This one is basically what the raw output looks like before you wrap any page formating around it.

And here is the script:

My inspiration was, of course, what you see on the frontpage of this site...and if this script already exists, well at least I learned how all the UBB info is stored.

If you try it out or have any problems, post here. Thanks.
