SMALL RECENT FORUM TOPICS

INSTRUCTIONS
Place the code below into a "scriptblock" or modify the theme you're using and add it wherever you want. This is viewed best using "center block" type but I think will squeeze into a right or left block as well. Remember to save the image below.

I have tp disabled within the forums only not for the main forum page, but i want my users to view the recent forum topics everywhere they go

I viewed this code snippit on BrianJw's page but when i put it is in a script block al i see is code, maybe there is something missing in the script?

It doesn't go in a script block. It should go in a phpbox.

Sorry forgot to mention i tried this as well and the box stays empty

I tested it last night, I couldn't get it to work. I didn't really have time to play with for ages so I gave up.
It does seem to work at Brians site though.

I see a fatal error on the site of Brian, and when I click on a link of the small 'recent topics' block it leads me nowhere, I keep getting only the front page. (maxthon browser with IE6 engine)

Looking closer at the code now, sorry I didn't see this before. But it appears that the code is missing quite a few things.
Try this and see if it works.

This (above) does the job, but it kind of spreads out all over the center (php block) http://www.amevita.eu/forum
