I can't see what you're talking about. The picture is too small.

The original code for this topic only show
Topic Subject-Poster Name-Date

But how can we add category name before the topic subject like the default smf recent post.

Why not just use ssi_recentTopics(); then?

no offense ich, but the question was "how" ... which would lead me to believe that the poster didnt know what they were doing. which would lead me to beleive that the poster wouldnt know about ssi_ stuff... i dont.. i just looked at the source and messed with it until it worked.. only took about 15mins to figure it out.....

just my thoughts.....

[IchBin]

Well I assumed since the poster said they wanted it to look like SMF's that they knew about SMF's stuff. If the don't know what ssi is, then a quick search here and at SMF will bring up the answer.

seriously, no offense bro! just tryin to help.. most of the posts are 1+ years old and some of us are need some help this year, so i try...

[IchBin]

No offense taken. But what is the difference between last years posts and this years? They are still relevant. Which is why we suggest a search. If the search is exhausted I don't mind helping out.
