    Posted: 06 June 2007 at 9:34am
Hi,
I need to display the latest 10 topics of a forum on a web page that resides on a different web server to the one where the forum exists. I would like to be able to style (CSS) the look of how the forum data is displayed to match the look of the page that it will be displaying on.

Is this sort of thing possible? If so, how would I go about it?

I am new to Web Wiz and have looked in previous posts for a solution, I found one that sounded promising but the links to the solution didn't work.

Can anyone help?
Thanks.

The forum has RSS Feeds. The one on the main forum index is of the last 10 posts, just click the RSS orange button at the top.

RSS Feeds are XML files that can be used not only to feed content into an RSS reader or browser but can also be used to feed content to other web sites.

If you have a look through Google there are lots of scripts available that allow you to pull RSS Feeds from other sites and display the contents in your own site.

Thanks for the reply.

I've been experimenting with the RSS feeds of a forum I'm working on.

I have managed to integrate a forum RRS feed (http://www.tvr-car-club.co.uk/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=33) into a site I am working on: http://www.tvrcc-cumbria.co.uk/ (The Regional Forum area - bottom right section) using www.rss-to-javascript.com script.

However, the times of the posts on the web page are 6 hours behind the actual times on the forum???

Would this something to do with where the web server might be located (USA?) where the conversion is taking place?

Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks.
