latest threads

[tom2]

i would really like to see a latest threads mod/addon that would work with ssi

would be Greatly appreciated!!

[tom2]

I will pay $5 with paypal if you make this for me!

what i want in the end is to have a news system and the 5 or so latest threads on my main page. it doesent have to be a ssi but it just has to work... right now i use news pro for the news...  this means my main page is index.asp if you can get the news addon to work with yabb and the latest threads it wouldnot have to be .asp. My server requires the .asp extension to do a ssi... used with news pro.

anyways I would much appreciate this!!!!

thats basically a Headlines mod, i think someone is working on that.

[adams]

I really really hope someone is working on this and soon. Otherwise someone should pick it up. This mod is what can make or break the popularity a message board on a site.

any updates on who's working on this and their progress?

[tom2]

it seems to me that I am just going to have to learn php and do it myself... I can't seem to be able to talk anyone into making it.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'll make one this week I guess, it's very very simple to do.

[£eo]

      if you're in a good mood,when making it,,,  please fill the files with instructions,,,   maybee I can learn something

heh, I did it in about 5 minutes...
I'm too lazy to write a package, so I'll just write here how to (easily) do it...


1. in index.php, search for:

Code Select Expand

   else if ($action == 'recent') { include_once "$sourcedir/Recent.php"; RecentPosts(); }
and add:

Code Select Expand

   else if ($action == 'recent2') { include_once "$sourcedir/Recent.php"; RecentPosts2(); }


Then, on Recent.php, copy the entire RecentPosts () function, rename the "new" one to RecentPosts2, and then change the "template" at the end of the function..

here:

Code Select Expand

      print <<<EOT
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="$color[bordercolor]">
<tr>
   <td align=left bgcolor="$color[titlebg]"><font class="text1" color="$color[titletext]" size=2>&nbsp;$counter&nbsp;</font></td>
   <td width="75%" bgcolor="$color[titlebg]"><font class="text1" color="$color[titletext]" size="2"><b>&nbsp;$row[cname] / $row[bname] / <a href="$scripturl?board=$row[ID_BOARD];action=display;threadid=$row[ID_TOPIC];start=$row[numReplies]">$row[subject]</a></b></font></td>
   <td align=right bgcolor="$color[titlebg]" nowrap>&nbsp;<font class="text1" color="$color[titletext]" size="2">$txt[30]: $row[posterTime]&nbsp;</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td colspan=3 bgcolor="$color[catbg]" class="catbg"><font class="catbg" size=2>$txt[109] $row2[posterName] | $txt[22] $txt[525] $row[posterName]</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td colspan=3 bgcolor="$color[windowbg2]" valign=top height=40><font size=2>$message</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td colspan=3 bgcolor="$color[catbg]"><font size=2>
      &nbsp;<a href="$scripturl?board=$row[ID_BOARD];action=post;threadid=$row[ID_TOPIC];start=$row[numReplies];title=Post+reply">$img[reply_sm]</a>$menusep<a href="$scripturl?board=$row[ID_BOARD];action=post;threadid=$row[ID_TOPIC];quote=$row[ID_MSG];title=Post+reply">$img[replyquote]</a>$notify
   </font></td>
</tr>
</table><br>
EOT;

change it to something like this:

Code Select Expand

     print <<<EOT
<table width="100%">
<tr>
   <td>
   $counter. <a href="$scripturl?board=$row[ID_BOARD];action=display;threadid=$row[ID_TOPIC];start=$row[numReplies]">$row[subject]</a> / $row[bname]
   </td>
</tr>
</table>
EOT;


Done!
now, use /index.php?action=recent2 to get the list..
You can, of course, include this in your site via php include or SSI..



p.s.
oh, one more thing...
you'll need to remove the footer(); from the end, but KEEP the obExit();...

[Enc0der]

btw, I'm trying to do the "who is online" mod... I'll let you know when it's ready..

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

what will that display? is it like the headlines mod for Y1G?

[Enc0der]

yep.

It'll display something like this:

1. bla bla bla / Mod Ideas
2. help me!! / Installer help
3. LOL!! / Chit Chat
4. test! / Test Board

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

Great! Thats the kind of thing i'm looking for! sadly, its new years eve and i dont have time to try it out.

(to make it just say
1. Thread1
2. Thread2
3. Thread3
etc i would just remove the "/ $row[bname]" right?) thanks.

[Enc0der]

yep..

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

Code Select Expand

   print <<<EOT
<font size="1"><a href="$cgi">$txt[236]</a>

EOT;

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]
