I am very inexperienced with PHP, the guys who usually help me with stuff aren't able to help me with this one though. My website is http://www.burninginfo.com (i am posting the link so people can better understand the question). At the bottom of the homepage you will see what looks like a portal, but it is just an image created to look like a portal to my forum. All of the portals I came across only work inside the PHP forums (or so it seems), and what I need is a portal that is referenced with the most recent topics in my forum (and possibly the most popular topics as well).

 

http://www.crackberry.com looks like they have on in the top right corner of the page.

 

What I am looking for is a portal (or cms portal, whatever you would call it) that looks like the image I created, but functions like an RSS feed.

I'm actually working with a company who's developing a CMS similar to that. We're going to be releasing it to the public soon, but it probably won't be for a month or so...

 

If you send me an email: info@akatsukidesigns.com - I can send you an email when its released and let you know where to get it.

Well, there is essentially one way to do it:

 

The script on the server that you want to show the information on must have access to the information some how.

 

 

You could either directly connect to the SQL server, or you could have some kind of data point (RSS feed, a simple delimited list... so on).

Is this is a very common request? Any kind of tutorial you know of that I could look into?

Im still researching. I don't even know what I would be dealing with. I know that somehow I need to point MYSQL to my homepage which is simple html and I will need a fancy php code linking it to the forum topic, I just don't know how this is going to turn out

Loosely, yes, since it will manage content, but in the the sense that you probably mean, not it is not a CMS.

 

 

 

 

What you essentially need to do is use PHP to pull the data from a table in a database and format it accordingly.

 

 

http://php.net/mysql_connect

http://php.net/mysql_select_db

http://php.net/mysql_query

http://php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc

 

 

Should be all that are needed for the MySQL part.
