Thanks alot JPDeni!

I'm glad I could help.

Thanks for pointing out the needing to global those vars.  I did this using SSI.php so didn't need to globalize them.  Thought it would be the same for TP since it uses SSI.php .

Thanks Jay!

Edited the code in the first post for the globals.

Is there a way for it to display an image if the user does not have an avatar, it looks funny without it~

[JayBachatero]

Ok use this.  Supply the image url at the top for the missing avatar.

Code Select Expand


<?php
global $db_prefix, $memberContext;

// How many members we want?
$members_limit = 5;
// Just special groups get to be part of the block.
// To select Admins and moderators would be like $groups = array(1, 2);
$groups = array();
// Avatar images.
$avatarImage = '';

$group_clause = empty($groups) ? '1' : 'ID_GROUP IN(' . implode(',', $groups) . ')';

// Lets get the ID's of the members we want.
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_MEMBER
FROM {$db_prefix}members
WHERE $group_clause
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT $members_limit", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$members = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
$members[] = $row['ID_MEMBER'];
mysql_free_result($request);

// Load the data for these members.
loadMemberData($members);

// Now get the context.
foreach ($members as $member)
loadMemberContext($member);

echo '
<table>
<tr>';
foreach ($memberContext as $member)
{
echo '
<td>
', empty($member['avatar']['image']) ? '<img src="' . $avatarImage . '" />' : $member['avatar']['image'], '<br />
', $member['link'], '
</td>';
}
echo '
</tr>
</table>';

?>

I love it, thanks so much..

Would it be possible to add the users number of post, and most recent post?

Thanks again for this, just what I needed!

[JPDeni]

Number of posts would just be $member['posts'] in the printout section.

The most recent post would require a whole lot more coding and calls to the database.
