I've just purchased ip content and I'm trying to learn how to do this.
Basically, I'd like to import some forum post titles to some sections of my site (my site's index page, mainly), but not like ssi does: I'd like to import titles from some specific forums. (By default, ssi can only import from 1 chosen forum).
For example, I'd like to add forum titles from forum xx to section xx of my forum, then I'd like to add forum titles from forum x2 to section x2 of my forums, then maybe post contents from forum x3 to section x3 and so on.

Ok, so I've learned how to create feed blocks.

Problem is, I don't want to create new pages, I want to add content to my pre-existing pages, which live on my root folder (i.e. not in my forums subfolder).

I have been reading some of the help files and apparently I have to define the path on the page I wish to add content to.
So I've added this:

<?php
$path_to_ipb = './forums';
?>

I have also changed the URL in advanced options, following the instructions.

However, when I add this block to my page:

{parse block="mainnews"}

Nothing happens, when I open the file I just get that line of text, literally: {parse block="mainnews"} on the page.

I know I'm being rather naïve, but in my "logic", once my page has defined a path to where the ipcontent "module" is, the blocks should work. But they don't.
