Hi
what about the ability to add a single post as article ?
In that case only a Read More link is needed .... a write a comment link would be confusing.  :)

AngelinaBelle:
I was thinking about this!  I was thinking SMF needs a function to retrieve just the body of the post, perhaps with options to show or not show the author, profile info, avatar, etc.
 
The body of a recent post about a club event could be a perfect "Welcome" block.
As in http://rockhallsailingclub.org/smf/SPStandalone.php, where I copy/pasted the contents of a post into a custom HTML block.
 
I think it would be better/easier if I could have a block that was defined as a single post.  Or the ability to embed the post contents in a custom HTML or BBC block.
 
I think this is a great idea.  If the SimplePortal team rejects it, it might be a good mod.

smf has an ssi funtion to fech a single post from db:

try this:

<?php $post = ssi_fetchPosts(1, NULL, NULL);
echo $post[0]['body'], '<br />'; ?>


where 1 es the ID of the post you want it to show.

For SMF 1.1:

For SMF 2.0:

ssi_fetchPosts() would work as 130860 noted.

Doh!  Thanks!
