Apologies but my search foo is weak.

What I want is to be able to make a post in the forums and have that entire post show up on the front page of my web page.

I tried Kunena Latest but that only shows the brief information about the kunena post and not the entire post.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

You can use kunena latest module. You have to change the amount of characters shown from the post.

In case someone has the same problem, here is what to do, its a two part answer.

Firstly you have to set the Item Format String. I set mine to <h3>%A %L</h3>%T and it works well.

Secondly, set the "Shorten Message Length To" option to 0. For me this seems to do the entire post, I'm guessing that 0 means don't shorten the message at all.

The latest post module (q.v.) is not inserted or installed with Kunena.

Hi,

If you do a search on the forum for 'latest posts module'

You will find various discussions about that topic.

Here is one that should help most:

www.kunena.com/forum/112-modules/236-kunena-latest-posts-module

IN addition for Kunena 1.6 and going forward we will offer some of these modules and plugins directly through Kunena to make it easier to use. Part of why we have not done so already is because we have re-written some of the underlying code, making it now much simpler to build these modules without the need of much custom sql.

Hope this helps!
