Display Headlines?

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

G'day all.

I just created a blog that I want to integrate into a site.

Here's the blog:

http://synesiassociates.com/blog/

Here's the first integration into their beta site (I know, using iFrame. I'm cheap):

http://tomvranas.com/wblog/news.html

Now what I'm trying to do is create a listing of the last 3 postings on every other page (I've already created a text box for this):

http://tomvranas.com/wblog/index.html

Finally, I've gotten my summary.php parsed down:

http://synesiassociates.com/blog/summary.php

---

HELP! How do I take it the next step and only get the headlines from *one* blog into the site? Formatting?

I'm totally clueless, any help would be awesome.

Thanks,
Tom

ive deleted your other thread - please dont doublepost. If you do doublepost accidentally, as the topic starter you can go back and delete the duplicate by editing it, and checking the delete box.

@whoo: LOL, I got an 'This post doesn't exist' error when posting my answer.

It's all there in summary.php from line 89:

 { # by uncommenting the following lines you can hide some blogs
  // if( $blog == 1 ) continue; // Hide blog 1...


All blogs have a number. The All Blog is number 1, Blog A number 2, Blog B number 3 and the Linkblog is number 4 (from the basic installation)

BTW, <iframe> is not cheap, it's just not poular due to it's big brother <frame>. Depending on how your site should end up, I would suggest you to avoid the <iframe> for the blog, but it's an excellent choice for the summary.

Do have a look at the [url=http://brendoman.com/dbc/2006/07/12/sideblog_plugin_for_b2evolution]Side blog Plugin[/url] as well.

Good luck

I thought I posted this earlier, but I'm getting closer...

Here's the current summary page:

http://synesiassociates.com/blog/summary.php

Here's a test of the iFrame:

http://tomvranas.com/wblog/company.html

I want to do 3 things still:

1) take off the blog title
2) take off the langauge brackets
3) change the font

Any help? Here's the current summary.php:

<?php

		<?php

	// ---------------------------------- END OF BLOG LIST --------------------------------- ?>

<!-- InstanceEnd --></html>

Thanks in advance!!

1)

<h3><a href="<?php blog_list_iteminfo('blogurl', 'raw' ) ?>" title="<?php blog_list_iteminfo( 'shortdesc', 'htmlattr'); ?>"><?php blog_list_iteminfo( 'name', 'htmlbody'); ?></a></h3>

is the title (delete it.)

2)
Change

<li lang="<?php $Item->lang() ?>">


in

<li>


2a)
Delete

<span class="small">[<?php $Item->lang() ?>]</span>

3)
Add right before </head>

<style type="text/css">
body {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 8px;
}
</style>


but the body disappeared. so insert directly after <head>

<title>latest posts</title>
*** paste the code above here ***
</head>
<body>

Good luck
