Hi there,

I believe this is similar to this question but to clarify I would like to know whether I can use a tag (such as sf_recent_posts) to display a list of the latest topics/posts from private forums on a public page that even non-members could view. They would ideally be non-linked but act as a 'teaser' to attract new members to join the private forums.

I have some basic PHP skills so would be happy to try and code this functionality if that is the best solution and the process could be briefly described.

Many thanks and for the great plugin!

I would start by taking a look at the template tags – there are some there that will display the most recent forum posts.
However, they will currently (a) ONLY shows links to current users who have access and permissions to the forum the post is in and (b) provide a link to that forum.

To overcome (a) look for this line of code:

if(sf_can_view_forum($sfpost->forum_id))

and for (b) well – easy enough to remove the link.

That should, I believe, be what yo n eed.
