Hi Paul,
I've done something similar here: http://www.easst.net. The 'Review'
at the top center of the page is using the Books module.
//check for front page
if ($_GET["q"] == variable_get("site_frontpage", "node")){
//return only parent book items (0) and order by desc to get most recent
$result = db_query("SELECT n.nid FROM {node} n INNER JOIN {book} b ON
n.nid = b.nid WHERE b.parent = 0 AND n.status = 1 AND (n.moderate = 0
OR n.revisions IS NOT NULL) ORDER BY n.created DESC, n.title");
$page = db_fetch_object($result);
// load the node:
$node = node_load(array("nid" => $page->nid));
if ($node) {
// take the most recent approved revision, extract the page and
check output:
$node = book_content($node);
// book_custom_navigation is a custom fuction that does the
same thing as book_navigation, but leaves off the nav prev/next area
$node = book_custom_navigation($node);
$output .= '<div class="node"><fieldset><legend>' .
l($node->title, "node/$node->nid") .'</legend><div class="bookfront">'
. $node->body . '</div></fieldset></div>';
}
}
Hope this helps,
Courtney

Hi,
I think the mailing list is a better place to ask questions than the
drupal forum. Thanks for all the effort in answering the doubts.
I have a website running on drupal, http://www.chintha.com
I am using the book module to publish a monthly magazine. Now i want
to display the current moths magazine table of contents to appear in
the front page. Is it possible? Any php code snippet is greatly
appreciated.
You should be able to do this easily by taking the code from the book
block. Check the function book_block() in book.module.
