Hi, I would like to make my start page shyncronized with forum, and this start pages updates automatically with forum posts/threads.

is it possible do it? if yes, I need to buy ip board and ip content?

[Andrej]

I think it would be easy archived by IP. Content, but I am not sure. You can also write a sort of app for IP. Board prorably for that too. (Or ask someone to do it)

But that is not included in IP. Content or IP. Board by default I am afraid.

sounds like you want to use a Portal as your homepage. There are a couple to choose from, just do a forum search on 'portal' and they should appear

They both have the ability to view all kinds of topics, statistics and other output

Richard

IP.Content can achieve this for you.

Either the 3rd party portal or IP content can do this. My site (link in my signature) has a portal like front page. This was all done in IP Content and most of it using the wizard (i.e. auto code generation)

Glad you like it. Pretty easy to do. The page itself is created using the page set up wizard. Here you tell the page to use the forum wrapper. Alternatively you can start with a blank page. It's then just a matter of adding in calls to the custom blocks that you either create or use the supplied ones, again using wizards. Here's an example of the complete code from my front page.

Hope this helps.
