Before I switched to FUD, I was using phpBB, and I had a "News Feed" on the main page of my site, which took the 5 most recently made threads in a particular board. From those 5 threads it took the first post of each, showed the title, the post, and how many responses had been made to it.

I would like to do the same with FUD, but I really have no idea where to start.

I wrestled with it for months, the RDF feed just won't do it :/
It's easier just to use another system for your news.

The RDF Feed thinger will grab the most recent posts but that includes replies.

I've always not cared for this. I would rather distinguish a new topic from its replies so that a popular title doesn't fill up the max slots in a "latest topics" listing. That and the fact that rdf seems to include topics in non-public forums as well as restricted I find very irritating.

maybe half a solution - I posted this a few days in the (previously) most recently updated thread in this section:
http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=7701&start=0#msg_num_6

It'll post the most recent messages in a forum/category, and ignore subsequent messages from the same thread. Kinda the reverse of what you want - but it could be something worth looking further into - such as using the RDF to pull mode t to just get topics, then loop and count the number of messages in that topic.

Regards,
PG

Replies are excluded in topics mode (mode=t). As a result you can use any aggregator program to show your news or quickly roll your own.

Yet another solution would be to use FUDAPI. See example at http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/FUDAPI
