Hi guys,

 

I am creating a community site for a PC game and want to include a dev tracker that combines info from various twitter feeds and tracks forum posts made on the official forums. I have successfully pulled all the twitter feeds into my database but I am struggling with the forum posts.

 

The problem is that I am not really sure how I should be going about the task. I can use the forum search feature to get pages that contain each developers latest posts. I then copy this html into a php variable. Then I am stuck. How can I get post titles, post content, links, for each of the posts?

 

The list of posts is in a container <div id="ipbwrapper"></div> and each post is in a container called <table class="ipbtable"></table>, if I could at least seperate these parts out from the entire pages html I would be well on my way.

 

Could anyone point me in the right direction for how I should be achieving this?

DevTracker is a tool, that tracks posts of Community Managers and other people with extraordinary titles on official forum of a game The Secret World. Please note, that it can have some errors

No, I want help creating a tool for the games community using information I have permission to use, if I can find a way to get it. That is what I want help with.
