Hi Folks,

I'd like to get the last 20 posts from one articular forum to display on a page.

Having read the various threads here I decided to go the FUDapi way. As there isn't a function to do exactl what I want I'd like to write on based on fud_fetch_recent_msg and that's where I come unglued.

fud_fetch_recent_msg reads as...
function fud_fetch_recent_msg($arg=1)
{
	$range = time() - 86400 * (float) $arg;
	return _fud_msg_multi(0, "SELECT id FROM ".$GLOBALS['DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX']."msg WHERE apr=1 AND post_stamp > ".$range);
}


so I figure I should change arg to be the forum number I want and change the WHERE clause to match the forum_id to $arg and that's the rub, I don't know what the row title is for the forum_id.

What I have is...
function fetch_forum_msg($arg=5)
{
	return _fud_msg_multi(0, "SELECT id FROM ".$GLOBALS['DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX']."msg WHERE apr=1 AND forum_id = ".$arg);
}


Am I on the right track? If so could you please point me at the correct clause syntax?


Thanks.

Andy.
