    I`ve been searching this forum for the last 4-5 days looking for an answer to my needs, but with no luck.
    What I need is to show last 5 forum topics, not only title, but the whole forum posts with title, body, author name and entry date in my weblog entries (articles), just the same way it looks when browsing the forum. (I`m using Minimalist theme).
    I`ve understood that the only way of doing this is by using exp:query but I`m not enough skilled to be able to create this query myself.
    Anyone want to help? please 😊

    If possible, it would also be cool to have the forum entry form on the article page as well, which after posting a reply takes the user to the forum.

    Take a look at this article:

    You can modify the variables to satisfy your needs.

    Thanks,

    I`ve been looking into that feature, but it seems that I`m not able to show posts from a specific topic id.
    I only get the x latest forum posts from the whole forum.
    What I need do display on an article page is the 5 last forum posts in the forum thread related to the specific article.
