Hi,

so I’ve integrated the Beast forum into my ruby on rails website and  
would like to display some of the forum data throughout the website.  
Basically, I’d like to list the last 5 posts to a UNIQUE topic, and  
also the most popular topics.

I’m sure this wouldn’t be too tough to accomplish but I was wondering  
if anyone else had already implemented it so that it might save me  
time?

I’d try posting on the Beast support forum but I think I’d just  
receive viagra related answers!

Thanks a lot.
