How to put latest Forum posts in a Centerblock ?

[WarBirD]

Hi, how can I put the latest Forumposts into a centerblock ? So I can put it above the articles on the main site.
Thx.

try this in a php block

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('10', NULL, 'array');

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

foreach ($what as $topic)
  {
    echo '<tr><td class="windowbg" valign="middle" align="center">', $topic['link'];
    // Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)
    if (!$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" align="center">', $topic['board']['link'], '</td>';
      echo '</td><td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center">', $topic['poster']['link'], '</td><td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center">';
      if ($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>';

Thx m8.

[Lesmond]

your welcome

[WarBirD]

But, the text in the block is aligned centered. can this be changed, that its aligned left like the usual of a forum ? Looks stupid centered.
Any ideas how to change that ?
