"recent topics" in SMF style

[cygy2k]

Thank you bloc.  I knew it was an easy question for you pros.  Thanks for the great product and support!!

How hard would it be to add a 'Replies' and 'Views' column in-between 'Poster' and 'Time'

Replies would be just the number of replies to that thread vs. how many views up to that point?

i was wondering is it possible to have a modification of this code so that it does the following?

1 - Only displays topics from a particular board

akulion: for just one baord is easy

any other way to do this instead using array('3','56') cause i have more than 80 boards and it makes my site buggy

I see. So just sorting on created dates then, not on last replied date. That would mean even a simpler sql call.

I don't know if Akulion got an answer to this but I would like to know how to do this as well.. sorry to bump and thanks in advance!

Bump.  Still seeing if someone could please add the code to add 'Replies' and 'Views' column just like SMF.  See attached.  It helps our power posters.

Uhm..I can help there, but what "version" are you using? The original have had a few changes by several people in this topic, so I am not sure what you are using now.

This is the version I'm using now

Code Select Expand

// "Recent Topics" a php Block
// Prefered settings when being designed
// Border and title on
// Title ="Recent Topics"

global $scripturl;
$what=ssi_recentTopics('35', NULL, 'array');

echo '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor">';
echo '<tr class="catbg3"><td valign="middle">Subject</td><td valign="middle">Board</td><td valign="middle">Poster</td><td valign="middle">Time</td></tr>';

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['time'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';
      echo '</td><td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" >', $topic['board']['link'], '</td>';
      echo '</td><td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" >', $topic['poster']['link'], '</td><td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" >';
      if ($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>';

uhm, one problem: the SSI function doesn't collect those variables. Need to rewrite that function then.

Doh!  o.k. thank Bloc     no worries then.  It was a nice to have.

Anyone know why the number of recent topics don't show 35 like I have configured in this section of the code above:

$what=ssi_recentTopics('35', NULL, 'array'); 

Right now it shows 24 posts instead of the 35 I'd like to see.
