There are many ways you can do this. One way is to make your html page with your block in it. Then create a block in tinyportal (phpbox type). Inside that you need to put this code.

Code Select Expand

include('/path/to/your/file.html');

I don't know exactly what you mean by Top Ten users, so there might be some other ideas you can do.

sorry for confushion what i wish to do is

list the top ten forums poster in the box on my html page in a cell on my main  page

Did you look at an SSI box type in the block settings? You can do a top posters block that way.

I think he mean that he have a frontpage, and the forum with the portal in back of the first page.
On the first page he want the top ten posters from the forum to show up, not within the forum page with the portal.

So what i get is that he want the forum to "talk" to the startpage of his site? and get the top ten posters to show on the first page.

In that case, I think you can make something like this in a block.

Code Select Expand


require_once("SSI.php");

echo  ssi_topPoster();


I am not sure how to format it though. That is all I know how to do.....

Ok, figured it out.

Here's how you can create a bullet list from the top 10 posters. You'll need to make sure the path to your SSI.php file is correct though.

Code Select Expand


<?php
require_once("../SSI.php");

$myresults = ssi_topPoster(10,'return');
echo '<ul>';
       foreach($myresults as $single)
                    {
                      echo '<li>'.$single['link'].'</li>';
                    }
echo '</ul>';
?>

You'll need to make sure the path to your SSI.php file is correct though.

Seems like you just copyed ichBins code from the spot without making the right path in the code for your ssi.php

Esyest way is to loggin with your FTP program, and search for the ssi.php file and in the top you get the correct string for the path
