Hi!

I have two different webs in the same server and in one of them it is the SPF.

well, I would like to see the last posts in one box that I have created in the other web, but I do not know how to do it… I guess that it is rather complicated.

thanks in advance

have a nice day

Edit: I am not asking for the whole job, only for clues…

well, its not really that complicated… as long as you can access the mysql db of the other box… where db queries to the current site's mysql db are currently made in the template tag, you will need to connect to the other server mysql db and grab its data instead… this could get tricky if you have any private forums on the sites…

Over complicated it there Mr. Papa… remember, SPF has RSS feeds, and there are tons of RSS agrigators for wordpress that can read external sources.

even the basic wordpress RSS widget in a sidebar of the local site can be pointed at the forums on the remote site and display the recent posts (with links back to the remote forum)

and there are tons more RSS plugins that allow you to place the RSS anplace on the local site, even within posts.
