Hiya,
I couldn't find anything on this, so here goes my question.
I'd like to have a block/hack that allows me to have phpbb3 posts as news on the phpnuke homepage. That is, instead of using the phpnuke news module, I'd write a news piece in a "news" forum in phpbb3 and that would appear on the phpnuke homepage.
Now, I've managed to include a block on the homepage that shows the last five posts (thread title, views, poster, etc) from the phpbb3, so I reckon it should be possible to do what I want to.
The idea, I think, is that the new block would just read from the "news" forum, so every time I posted there, the latest post would become the latest news on the homepage.

You have a different table in your database for posts and topics.
And in the topics table there is topic_first_post_id,
that way you can select the first post of the latest topics.
So it's possible, but I don't think there's a block for it yet.
See, the latest news block is just posts from a forum. You specify the forum ID in the admin, and everything you post there becomes a news item on the frontpage.
I'd like a block that reads from the phpbb3 forum I choose and post the news on the phpnuke frontpage, showing the title (headline) and the text.

So only one?
And can you work with the database a little?
Because I'll need the forum_id of the news forum.
Can you also give me a link to your website?
