Re: "recent topics" in SMF style [Include Boards]

try adding an apostrophe & semicolon at the end ';

echo '<a href="' . $my['href'] . '">';



You might not need the apostrophe '

[JPDeni]

There was not a semi-colon in the original, which is why I didn't put it into the replacement code.

You'll need to post the whole section in order to see where the problem is.

I'll be quiet..

You'll need to post the whole section in order to see where the problem is.

I'm assuming you mean the part that's displayed?  Here is the code.

Code Select Expand


// Print out the results
  echo '<blockquote><img src="http://www.bamanation.net/images/websitenews.png"></blockquote>';
   echo '<span class="smalltext">';
foreach($result as $my){
  echo "$bullet";
  echo '<span class="normaltext">'.$my['link'],' ';
  echo '(', '<span class="smalltext">'.$my['topic']['replies'],') ';
  // is this topic new? (assume they are logged in)
  if (!$my['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])
   echo '<a href="', $scripturl, '?topic=', $my['topic'], '.from', $my['newtime'], '#new">
    <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';
  echo '</span>';
  echo '<span class="largetext">','<br>';
}

Thanks for all the help.  I have no doubt that this will be solved soon.

I got no syntax errors in that code.

[insanemustang]

i know, but the new image doesn't take you anywhere...

[JPDeni]

I thought the problem we were dealing with at the moment was the syntax error. That's the last error you posted.

What is the link that it gives?

ETA: I just realized what's going on.

I gave you a line of code. You pasted that line into your code incorrectly and got a syntax error.

You pasted a bit of the original code (withouth the revised line) into a post. I copied that code *and made the change of the one line that I had made before* into your bit of code. I posted *the altered code* into a post.

You thought that I just checked your original code, and, without trying the code that I posted, said it didn't take you anywhere. I was thinking that you meant that the new code I gave you didn't take you anywhere. Then I thought about it a bit and realized that you didn't try the new code at all.

Paste the most recent code I posted into your block and see what happens. If you have a syntax error, it will be in some other place in your code. If you still have problems with the link, post what the link actually says so that I will know where to look for the problem.

[insanemustang]

Strange... I posted exactly what you gave me back into a block so I could give you the syntax error, and the entire code... and it worked perfectly.

I don't know what happened, but I am extremely sorry I wasted your time for a day on this.

Thank you so much for your help.

[JPDeni]

That's okay. It happens.

I'm glad it worked for you. All's well that ends well!
