ssi_recentTopics problem

[dimdom]

I use to run two scripts in two blocks using the function $what=ssi_recentTopics('10', NULL, 'array');

Everything was working fine until suddenly the 10 topics become 3. Without changing something in my forum configuration or in the scripts. No matter what value I insert it always shows 3 recent topics...

Any ideas?

I have. And?

I have. And?

Ah... well maybe we should put it differently then.

Please read and follow the posting guide so that we may have a better idea of what you are running and what your issue is... then we will likely be better able to give the help you need.
Thanks.

Script two:

http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=17909.msg148173#msg148173

My conf: Tiny Portal 098, SMF 1.1.5

My forum used to show ten (10) recent posts using these scripts.

www.authorway.com/SMF


All of a sudden and without changing anything it started to show only 3 in both php scripts.

I changed back to the original SSI.php from the installation files but didnt help.

I think I gave all the necessary info this time.

[dimdom]

ssi_recentPosts(); function works great as a php block but

this block  (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=596.0) shows only three posts...

See attached image...

[JPDeni]

One of those is "recent topics" and the other one is "recent posts." They are two different functions.

Why are you listing the "Mini User CP" script? Do you have a reason to  think that it is part of the problem?

[dimdom]

OK, i figure it out. I dont like the recentposts action (useless repeating info) so I use only the recent topics function. One of my sites member decided to post 24 new messages in the SAME topic so the recenttopics function in "Mini User CP" showed only three recent topics!

After all, there was no problem at all...

[JPDeni]

I wish everything was this easy to solve!!

I'll mark it solved, then.
