I use this php block code in my forum:
// "Recent Topics" a php Block
// Prefered settings when being designed
// Border and title on
// Title ="Recent Topics"
global $scripturl;
$what=ssi_recentTopics('5', NULL, 'array');
echo '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor">';
echo '<tr class="catbg3"><td valign="middle">ΘÎμα </td><td valign="middle">ΠίνακαÏ,</td><td valign="middle">ΣÏ...γγÏαφεÏÏ,</td><td valign="middle">á½Ïα</td></tr>';
foreach ($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>';
How, where and what code should i use to add a flag to the query that gathers the topic information that filters out all topics in specific board (s)?
I would like to exclude some topics of showing in recent topics as new.
Thank you for your time.
The query is within the ssi_recentTopics function. You would have to alter it there or copy the function into your block (and rename it so you don't have two that have the same name).
Thank you, JPDeni.
But what code should i use and where in the above block code?
Why not use one of the other blocks in the code snippet board that already do this?
Thanks IchBin, but I use two different snippets. The above one and another one called Mini User Cp:

I would like to change both of the blocks codes to exclude certain boards from showing at these blocks... So I think that it would be better to find what I need to add to these codes...
Then take a look at those other code snippets so you can see what they do if you're not willing to change.
