Recent Topic block for a Specific Area(s)?

Is there block code for the above that will work with this release of TP?

I have a huge need for it.

Much thanks in advance.

Look through the snippets.

Look through the snippets.

I did but they all seemed for much early versions.  Do you have a recommendation which one?

[Freddy]

Not really no but if you find one that looks all right I can try converting it....guessing you are on the newest TP and SMF2 ?

SMF 2.0 RC3 and latest TP

If you are talking about getting the latest topics from a specific board on your forum, this is not as difficult as it used to be with earlier versions of SMF.  There are some new ssi functions that make this fairly easy.  The advanced mode of the recent topics function works pretty well for this.

Code Select Expand


ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 5, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = 15, $output_method = 'echo');


Placing this into a php block will let you show the last 5 topics from board #15.
