It would be handy if I could use my Skysa toolbar to show the latest posts or topics - or both.  The Skysa toolbar uses the WordPress login system but as far as I can make out the best way would be to utilize an iframe.  With this in mind is there code available to display the above?  By this I mean create a page where the latest posts or topics are displayed.  I was thinking that I could update them using ajax.

You just want a list of new posts without the forum framework? I.e., no header, footer etc? If so then use the recent posts template tag for which you will need the SP template tags plugin. Details here:

But... will that do it? Wont your off-site iframe need a full url? Or does it just get that from WordPress? In which case we do have a page url available but that will load up the full forum framework unless you choose to cut it down (i.e., customise the template).

This would use your base forum slug followed by '/newposts/'

The SP template tags plugin sounds like the very thing - thanks.
