"recent topics" in SMF style

[jacortina]

But I also want to use the same but only to show topics of a certain board. I have many boards and new boards are being added often so it would be wonderful if I only have to set the board id that I want to show topics from.
Thanks for help.

Use the code I posted in the 'code' boxes in message:
http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=1234.msg105411#msg105411

As noted, the first part should be added to the SSI.php file (defines a new SSI function).

You can skip the second code block in that post to use your own from above. What you need to change is:

Code Select Expand

       $what=ssi_recentTopics('5', NULL, 'array');

To:

Code Select Expand

       $what=ssi_recentTopics_Include('5', array(##), 'array');

Where '##' is the number (or comma separated list of numbers) of the board(s) you want the recent topics from.

Currently this code show the


Topic title, author and date,

its possible make in this way?

Topic title, board, author and date,


grettings

[jacortina]

What code are you using?

[javier]

Excuse my english, i mean, the code all the people use for "recent topics" show the topic title, author and date only.

my question is:

its  possible to modify for show the board title too?

best regards

Are you talking about the pre-made block for 'Recent Topics'?

I asked about code being used because 'all the people' don't use the same thing.

[javier]

 sorry, this its the code:

Code Select Expand

global $scripturl;

echo '

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor">
                               <tr><td colspan="3" class="titlebg">Recent topics</td></tr> ';
       $what=ssi_recentTopics('15', 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>';

First, if you look in SSI.php for the ssi_RecentTopics function, you'll find where it builds its array to send back (the data that gets put in $what):

Code Select Expand

// Build the array.
$posts[] = array(
'board' => array(
'id' => $row['ID_BOARD'],
'name' => $row['bName'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?board=' . $row['ID_BOARD'] . '.0',
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' . $row['ID_BOARD'] . '.0">' . $row['bName'] . '</a>'
),
'topic' => $row['ID_TOPIC'],
'poster' => array(
'id' => $row['ID_MEMBER'],
'name' => $row['posterName'],
'href' => empty($row['ID_MEMBER']) ? '' : $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['ID_MEMBER'],
'link' => empty($row['ID_MEMBER']) ? $row['posterName'] : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $row['ID_MEMBER'] . '">' . $row['posterName'] . '</a>'
),
'subject' => $row['subject'],
'short_subject' => shorten_subject($row['subject'], 25),
'preview' => $row['body'],
'time' => timeformat($row['posterTime']),
'timestamp' => forum_time(true, $row['posterTime']),
'href' => $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.msg' . $row['ID_MSG'] . ';topicseen#new',
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.msg' . $row['ID_MSG'] . '#new">' . $row['subject'] . '</a>',
'new' => !empty($row['isRead']),
'new_from' => $row['new_from'],
'icon' => '<img src="' . $settings[$icon_sources[$row['icon']]] . '/post/' . $row['icon'] . '.gif" align="middle" alt="' . $row['icon'] . '" border="0" />',
);

You'll see that board name as a link is stored in ['board']['link'].

Try changing the line:

Code Select Expand

                                                ', $topic['link'];

To:

Code Select Expand

                                                ', $topic['board']['link'], ' - ', $topic['link'];

How you'd do it would depend on the nature of the block. If you're just going to get the color for one or to members, I'd most likely try to JOIN the membergroups table to any query for those members.

If you're getting colors for some arbitrary number of members, I'd usually load an array with the colors:

Code Select Expand

global $db_prefix;

$groupcolors = array();
$request = db_query("SELECT ID_GROUP, onlineColor FROM {$db_prefix}membergroups", __FILE__, __LINE__);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
$groupcolors[$row['ID_GROUP']] = $row['onlineColor'];
mysql_free_result($request);

Then, after fetching member info including their primary group (ID_GROUP) and their display name (realName), you'd have lines like:

Code Select Expand

$color_start = !empty($groupcolors[$row['ID_GROUP']]) ? $groupcolors[$row['ID_GROUP']] : '';

echo '<font color="' . $color_start . '">' . $row['realName'] . '</font>';
