"recent topics" in SMF style

[FUBAR]

No, I'm not using uft8 on my forum.

Does it do the same thing in the default theme?

[FUBAR]

Yeah, it does it with all themes.

Bloc, its possible use your code but keeping the recent topics visible more time?

I mean, in boards with little traffic after 1 or 2 days the latest replys block become empty because no exist new replys.

Exist any solution for avoid that?

Thanks in advance
best regards.

javier,

If you are using the code in the first post in this topic, that code won't allow you to do that but there is code in this topic that will allow this.  Have you read the whole topic?

Perhaps a post I made a while back will help you with this ---> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,596.msg219427.html#msg219427

<-- n00b when it comes to modifying code etc.

The first code (first post) is just what I have been looking for. Only 1 thing I'd love to see added (if someone can help me out).

Is the board it was posted on. So basicly like the "recent topics block" but than it will be bigger.

Many thanks in advance

Nr|Five,

Welcome to TinyPortal.

The first post in this topic does not report the board it was posted in but there are several blocks of code throughout this topic that do.

I know it's a long thread but I would suggest starting at the end and working your way back and find one of the blocks of code that will do what you want by trying each one.  I use one of JA Cortina's blocks of code on one of my sites (the one below my Avatar) as a featured front page article and it does what you want.

Hey guys
Im using the following code on the first page posted by Bloc.

Code Select Expand



global $scripturl;

echo '
                       <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor">
                                ';
       $what=ssi_recentTopics('5', NULL, 'array');


        foreach ($what as $topic)
        {
                echo '
                                <tr>
                                        <td class="windowbg" valign="middle">
                                                ', $topic['link'];

               // Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
                if ($topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
                        echo '
                                                <a href="', $scripturl, '?topic=', $topic['topic'], '.from', $topic['new_from'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';

                echo '
                                        </td>
                                        <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" width="20%">
                                                ', $topic['poster']['link'], '
                                        </td>
                                        <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" width="35%">';
                if ($settings['images_url'] != $settings['theme_url'] . '/images' || file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/icons/last_post.gif'))
                        echo '
                                        <a href="', $topic['href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/last_post.gif" alt="', $txt[111], '" title="', $txt[111], '" border="0" style="float: right;" /></a>';
                echo '
                                                <span class="smalltext">
                                                        ', $topic['time'], '
                                                </span>
                                        </td>
                                </tr>';
        }

        echo '
                        </table>';


There are a couple of issues I have with it. Firstly it doesn't display the new image next to the title of the thread when a new reply has been made.

Also it would be great to have "views" and "Replies" inbetween the title and Author.

Lastly I have the following top posters code which I'd love to have on the end of this recent topics block, on the far right. Ive tried the two bits of code in the same php block and they appear to work together, I just can;t seem to position them correctly next to one another.

Code Select Expand



$result = ssi_topPoster(5, '');
echo '
<font size="2">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr><td align="left">Username</td><td align="right">Posts</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan="2"><hr /></td></tr>';
foreach($result as $data)
  echo  '
  <tr><td align="left">', $data['link'] ,'</td><td align="right">',  $data['posts'] ,'</td></tr>';
echo '

</font>
</table>';



Thanks for any interest in my request.
