fluxbb syndication methods

hi all.

i'm trying to use fluxbb as a backend way to display content.  the person i'm making a website for needs a simple way to update his website.  so i was thinking use flux to store the data and use syndication to update his otherwise static html pages.  i'm currently reading through the wiki and playing around with some code.  i would like to show an entire post by post id.  (similar to the old punbb main page.)  any suggestions?

many thanks!

Re: fluxbb syndication methods

Some more info would be helpful. What version will you be using? 1.2* or 1.3*? How exactly do you want to tie in? A cron type script, or the likes of an extension if using 1.3*?

Re: fluxbb syndication methods

i'm using the latest 1.3 development release.  i figured since we can already use simple http get parameters i would take advantage of this.  the guy currently has a website with about ten static html pages.  it's a pain for him to update.  so i thought it would be fun to use flux as a kind of backend to the database.  like if he updated a particular post it would change the front page on his site.  for a tie in i'm not sure yet.  i haven't started writing anything yet.  just poking around.  this is probably a good time to learn about hooks!
