I'm sorry that this question has probably been asked some where but I couldnt come across it.

I want a News Block or Forum Block on my main index page of my site(Basically to grab the latest forum posts). The Problem I have is theres 3 seperate sections in my forums: Announcements, Day of Defeat and Miscellaneous. How can I link all of these 3 seperate sections into 1 Center block to show the latest Forum posts?

Thnx In advance

Hello TuNa, are you saying you want a block which shows the latest 5 posts from each of those 3 sections in one block? For a total of 15 latest posts? And each section with a heading with 5 latest posts underneath?
You may have to pay someone to do that, you are talking about something that might take hours, with testing and all.

What I'm saying, is to present what you want with the option to pay someone for their services and you might have better results.

No, what I was after is if there was a way to display the last 5 forum posts, like here on nukemods. I read somewhere that to display it requires you to put the main number for each section in the coding, but dont know how to do this.
The 1 on here grabs all the latest posts from any section which is what I'm after. I'm just going through a bad RL patch atm and cant think straight on how to do it ops:

Sry if I wasnt more explaining.

Have you tried the block that comes with the theme? I think it will do what you want without any changes. Maybe I still don't understand what you mean.

well, ive tried many different blocks and some were different to what i was after, so Ive probably deleted it by mistake hence the reason ive posted here.

Atm ive got 1 on my site that I;m using, which I think is the 1 that came with the smartDark theme, but its only posting threads from my announcements and news.

Is there a way that it can display my private clan forums, by the player logging in and not the public? i.e. only shows posts and threads to thos who have access

Yes you can set permissions for who can see the topics in the block, by going to the forum admin > manage users. (I havn't tried this yet but I know it can be done.)

Need some more input here from someone else, please. :!:

You are talking about the last 5 forum topics center block aren't you? I don't see it on your site.

The problem is you don't have the block on your page at all. You need to download the theme again and get the block out of the zip file and put it in your blocks folder.

Any private or hidden Forums WILL NOT display in ANY of the Forum blocks out there.
Nuke can't distinguish the user as being a member of a Private group or whether the user has permission to view a certain Forum. The Forums, even though they are integrated as a module in Nuke, they are still separate inteties.

NOW. In our center Blocks, there is a HIDE VIEW READ ONLY setting in the block file itself. If you change that setting to 0 then the Hidden/Private forums SHOULD show up, BUT EVERYONE will be able to see the posts from them. But they won't be able to acces them.
