News Module in Center Column

[goingnova]

Hello, and thank you for reading this post, and trying to help us out.

What we need done is simple really. If you go to www.aliensoup.com, you will see that they have in the center column:

1. A Site Introduction box
2. Then 5 Boxes of the 5 latest posts from the News Forum
3. Then News Archive

We would like the to have the following in the center column of the portal page of BashAnything.com:

1. A Site Indtroduction box (we have already)
2. A Site News box, taking the latest post from the Site News Forum (we have already)
3. 3 Boxes of the last three posts from the Real News Forum
4. Then the News Archive (we have already)

What I am having trouble with, is number 3 above. I can not get it to work! :confused: I want three separate boxes, each box having one post from the World News Forum, just like AlienSoup (they actually have the last 5). I can not get the feed from the forum to work correctly. Any thoughts, ideas, or people looking to be hired to do it for me? :D

Anyone? :confused:

So basically what you are needing is the ability to have another news module in addition to the default one, right? If you search the hacks forum here I know somebody has posted instructions on how to do this.

I have looked, and I have not been able to find it. Could you suggest a search?

It was burried in the 2nd page on a search for 'news'. ;)
