Display the latest articles from my Knowledge Base

[Muiter]

Thirst of all I'm sorry that I post in English instead of German.

I have been looking for some time for a script/mod to display the latest articles from my Knowledge Base (fantastic mod!) and I found a tool that might do the trick here

I downloaded the rdf parser but I don't have a clue how to set this up to display my latest articles from my Knowledge Base like this website has [url=feed://www.phpbb.de/doku/kb/rdf.php?orderby=created&count=5]here[/url].

I hope some body can help me with this.

I found that one too (and that's what I needed) and it works fine: http://www.modelautoforum.nl/forum/

I have found the text file with the code but I can't find the two files anywhere kb_lastest.php kb_lastest.tpl
Can anyone share these with me?

but the snippet I posted to you does exactly the same..displays the latest 5 Articles in an ezportal block.

Look here: http://www.hohenau.net/forum/portal.php

Strange because that is the same one I posted above but in yours aren't included any files.

What is the mod you are using for your newsletter?

I found it on this board, but it is old and without some modifications it only works with phpbb 2.010!
