Specific Board Posts Feed

[Tiffy-Bean]

So, proboards offers a /posts/recent page which shows all the most recent posts.  It's an awesome feature.  However, I was wondering if there was a way to make a plugin that allows for the user to select a board and have all the posts from that board appear in a feed like that and then post just the feed to the homepage.

In other words, let's say that there is a board named "pictures".  I would like the option to select pictures as the host board (or even multiple boards) and everything that is posted under pictures will appear in the board but ALSO appear on the homepage using a ID for the plugin?

Possible?  Am I dreaming?  Anyone interested?

I'd also like the option to use custom CSS on the divide to scale it down so it isn't full-sized with the possibility of the mini-profile being excluded.  So, just the post content showing.

A plugin can only grab what's being shown on a page at any given time, so you wouldn't be able to display this on the home page like you want.

Then not possible. Thank you for letting me know Kami. You're so helpful.

Kami, fingers crossed but I recall a long time ago in an era far far away someone did let slip that widgets might become insertable in regular layout templates not just custom pages, you know, stuff like recent threads embedded right there in your profile rather than having to click a link to get to it ...
