XF 2.1 Home page viewing news from forum

Hello!

I've seen this on other websites, and I wonder if that's an addon or something I can do.

Basiclly in the forums, there is a section called "News & Announcements". Everytime something is posted there. It will also display at the homepage, kinda like a blog. And if you click on a post from the home page you will be sent to the forum post.

Why not just use XenForo 2.2’s article thread types? You can easily set that as your homepage.

But why use a widget? Widgets have limits. You can only have X amount of entries. No pagination.

Because with this widget you can create a full customized home page with others widgets or original content coded in html, there is no limit.
And this widget use the XF article thread type to get the content, it's not a widget for creating articles...

You can do all that without the widget, easy.
