PHP MESSAGE BOARD

Post by trancetrackonline »

I am trying to make a message board that can be integrated onto my web page with the rest of my content; I hate having to navigate away from the main page in order to see people's comments. I want a sort of comments "wall" similar to the "wall" on facebook, except much simpler. I just want people to be able to leave comments, and I Want the board to display the 10 most recent comments (with a button which will show more, or take people to the forum, that's less important).

I have been looking into some PHP things, but I'm not that great with this stuff. Maybe someone can either help me out with one in particular (ucomment, see the link below) or suggest something that's better for what I'm trying to do?

thanks so much in advance

Do you mean you want to take the latest comments people have made and put them on the home page?

and if it's possible, or easy, then I'd like people to also be able to comment while ON the main page.

If not, I'll take whatever I can get.

thanks! =)

Look at the code that displays the comments on each sub-page. There should be a SQL query somewhere in there that limits the comments shown to only ones for that page/post. What you want to do is remove that limit, and put that code on the home page. If you find the code, post it here so we can help (remember the tags around your code).
