custom "Recent Topics from Board X, Y, Z only" php block

[JPDeni]

I see. You want the second line to be indented.

This should do it. You'll need to enter the names of the boards.

Code Select Expand


global $context, $scripturl;
$bullet = '<img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/TPdivider3.gif" alt="" border="0" style="margin:0 2px 0 0;" />';

// Enter the names of the boards you want to display, along with their numbers
$board[26] = 'Name of board 26';
$board[25] = 'Name of board 25';
$board[24] = 'Name of board 24';

$new_row = 1;
echo '<table border="0" width="100%" id="table1" cellpadding="2" style="border-collapse: collapse">';

foreach ($board as $name => $key) {
if ($new_row == 1)
echo '<tr>';
echo '
<td style="display: block; margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em;">' . $key . '<br />';
$result=ssi_recentTopics_NEW(10,array($key),'return');
foreach($result as $my){

echo '
<span class="smalltext3">
<img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/TPdivider3.gif" alt="" border="0" style="margin:0 2px 0 0;" />
<&nbsp;>' . $my['link'] . '</span>
<br>';
}
echo'
</td>';
if ($new_row == 3) {
echo '</tr>';
$new_row = 0;
}
++$new_row;
}

echo '</table>';


If the indenting isn't right, you'll want to change this line:

Code Select Expand


<td style="display: block; margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em;">' . $key . '<br />';


If the indenting is too much, change the 2 to 1. If it's not enough, change the 2 to 3 or 4 (or whatever works).

when i enable block that contain this new code... i cant log in / see frontage of my site.. but can in forum. tq

[JPDeni]

Then there's an error somewhere. Can I see the page?

There is nothing... it make long time to loading... but when the web appear it reset the login to guest automatically... registered user cant see it.  also to  guest.

[JPDeni]

I need to have the URL to the page. Even though nothing may appear on the page, I might be able to get something from the source code.

Otherwise, you'll just have to take the code out and forget it, because I don't know what's wrong with it.

[alhaudhie]

im not already yet to full open.
but if i enable to guest.. there is Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
 
  Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

[JPDeni]

Then I suggest that you remove the code. I don't see what the problem is and I can't test this code on my own site.

any idea why when i use this code it puts [/url] on the end?

It outputs this:
mpinones wishes to join -=NoBS=-[/url]

Code I am using:

Code Select Expand


global $context, $scripturl, $settings, $txt;
$bullet = '<img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/TPdivider.gif" alt="" border="0" style="margin:0 2px 0 0;" />';

$result=ssi_recentTopics_Include(10,array(35),'return');

foreach($result as $my){
  echo "$bullet";
  echo '<span class="smalltext">'.$my['link'];

  // 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['new_from'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';
echo '<br />';

}
echo '</span>';

This example post originates from a form or something ?

I can't see why it would do that with the code you posted, perhaps it is introduced earlier.

Hi guys.

I've been using this slightly modified version of the code:

Code Select Expand

global $context, $scripturl, $settings, $txt;

//define the two images for read/unread replies
$bullet = '<img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/TPdivider5.gif" alt="" border="0" style="margin:0 2px 0 0;" />';
$bullet2 = '<img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/TPdivider4.gif" alt="" border="0" style="margin:0 2px 0 0;" />';

$result=ssi_recentTopics_Include(4,array(34),'return');
// show the board name
echo '<span class="smalltext"><b><a href="http://www.bjdoll.net/index.php?board=34.0">Newsposters</a>:</b><br /></span>';
// and now, the latests posts
foreach($result as $my){
  echo "$bullet";
  echo '<span class="smalltext">'.$my['link'];

  // 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['new_from'], '#new"></a>';
echo '<br />';

}
echo '</span>';
With some tables, I've got a nice looking recent posts block, conveniently sorted for the forum users.

It outputs something like this:

You can see it working at http://www.bjdoll.net
The darker bullets are for the unread replies, and the lighter ones, for... well, for the read ones 

But now, some people are asking for more info about the threads showing in the front page, so... here is the question.
Does anyone know how to add the number of posts of the threads and the name of the last poster?
Something like this:
Ã,·Thread name [number of posts](last poster's name)

Any help will be greatly appreciated, this code has been of great help for my site.
