I followed the instructions to the best of my ability (er...copy paste
), created a home.php and external_body.html, and went with the code for Example 3, but I kept getting this error:General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND t.topic_status <> 2 AND t.topic_approved = 1 ORDER BY ' at line 2 [1064]

Here is the code I used for home.php (copy-paste goodness):
