First let me say how much I enjoy using FUD forum. Thank you for all of your hard work and the input of all of your loyal users. 
I'm attempting to use the rdf to post last posted messages of my own FUD forum to my main page. Although I seem to have it working and tweaked to match my site as far as output goes, it doesn't seem to be showing the last posted messages. Rather, it shows the messages just starting from the top of the message forum and down by "n".
Here is the top of my rdf_parser.php file:
<?php
/* path to the rdf file you wish to read */
$path_to_rdf = "http://www.mysite.com/forums/rdf.php?mode=t&|=1&n=8";
/* parsing mode, what are we parsing, 'message', 'topic' or 'user' data */
$mode = 'message';
?>
of course "mysite" has the domain name in it instead of what I typed here. I made a small edit to not show the actuall message text here:
<?php
if (!isset($this->reply_to_id) && $this->reply_to_title != $this->title) {
echo ' <b>In Reply To:</b> <a href="'.$this->forum_url.'?t=rview&th='.$this->topic_id.'&id='.$this->reply_to_id.'" class="body2"> '.$this->reply_to_title.'</a><br />';
}
/* commented out next line to not show the message for side block kjb Also added the <hr> tag below */
/*echo "<b>Message:</b><br /><blockquote>\n".$this->body."\n</blockquote><br />";*/
echo '<hr size="1" color="#000000">';
?>
The output is acceptable in all ways except by NOT showing the last posted messages. I do have a small exception and might suggest that creating a cache for 60 minutes might also be helpful so as not to query the database on every load. Maybe that is included in the code and I'm not aware of it, please advise.
I'll attach a screenshot of the output in the browser.
I can hack some code but I'm not the best php programmer around, so using code that has been posted elsewhere on the FUDforum to show the last posted messages was not helpful to me, although interesting. I did play with that code for a couple of hours and never got that to work, at all.
Thank you in advance for your time
