Tricky Block Request

[gbingo]

Catmenu block? There is such a thing! Boy, do I feel like a newbie!  :laugh: I'll look into this now.

[JPDeni]

The menu block is for articles. You want boards.

Code Select Expand


global $db_prefix, $scripturl;
$perm= $GLOBALS['user_info']['groups'][0];
if ($perm <>1)
  $where = 'WHERE FIND_IN_SET(' . "'" . $perm . "'" . ',memberGroups)';
else
  $where = '';

$query = db_query(
    "SELECT ID_BOARD, name
     FROM {$db_prefix}boards
     $where
     ORDER BY boardOrder", __FILE__, __LINE__);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
  echo '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' . $row['ID_BOARD'] . '">'. $row['name'] . '</a><br />';
}


Tested in a php block. No errors.

This works? Let me test it out.

Edit: Sadly it doesn't work.

The base code is pretty much already done in the loadJumpTo function of Load.php (which gets the arrays for the Jump To drop-down.

global $db_prefix, $context, $user_info;

It doesn't work? Or it doesn't do what you wanted it to do? It works, but I may have misunderstood what you wanted.

Really?

Neither IE 6 nor FF on either of two PC's that I tried it on did that.

But you can just change that line in the code.

I have

and ty

[jacortina]

I left out the global declaration for $scripturl.

Add that to the others in the first line or you'll get all sorts of errors logged (though the code works with that undefined).

This code works perfectly in display on the main page.  100%  BUT  it is linking to unknown places.  IE The requested URL /forum/index.php20.0 was not found on this server. that is the error im getting.
When the board url for that one is something totally different.

Somone help me with this plz


ie
The requested URL /forum/index.php9.0 was not found on this server. from the code you gave me.

This is what it should be linking to
http://*****/forum/index.php/board,9.0.html

Any help on this would be much appriciated as this will help with getting new visitors to access the forums easier.
Thanks
