 Re: [NEW] Block Forum Style |
Is this based on .27c or the beta? If it's based on the beta, you might want to edit your first post and include that somewhere. 
It looks a lot like a customization; something we should move to the Customizations forum. Is that OK with you?
Bottom line...it looks great!

Re: [NEW] Block Forum Style |

Maybe the most interesting thing about this could be if we could make a block for each forum, which displays threads randomly instead of the most recent, which would be senseless on this case (because you got to look only from up to down :D). I mean, if we are browsing forum 1, the block will show randomly X threads from that forum (if we do the same with forum 2, so threads from it), or maybe X posts among the best rated ones.

Re: [NEW] Block Forum Style |
Sarakin, it is just a php code that looks for threads on the forum
- $id_query = sql_query( 'USE [yourIPDB]\;
- SELECT \'id\', \'thread_name\' FROM \'ip_posts\' WHERE \'forum_id\'=' . $_GET['f']);
-
- $id_container= array($id_query);
-
- //Now we have the ids at a array,as all of them are decimal, just use rnd()
-
- rnd($id_container);
-
- //Then code for looking for the thread title and print it to screen.
Just a little bit similar. (PS: IDK if rnd() was the correct syntax for picking a random number from a array)
I leave the last part right now uncompleted, I have to go to bed and sleep....

Re: [NEW] Block Forum Style |
I don't understand 100%, but it seems your code would show random threads from a different forum (random) each time the block is loaded. What I meant is about a block which, depending on the foum you're browsing (the block should be added on the viewforum page), would show random threads from that forum (so what we need is a code which could be able to identify what forum we're in), or maybe the best rated from it, for instance.
And thanks for your interest anyway...

Re: [NEW] Block Forum Style |
Sounds like it might be something some members will use...
I sadly have no more free time to do any side projects

$_GET array var get the vars given on the url, after the ?
for this url: ...viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5581&highlight=
we have $_GET['f'] = 2;
$_GET['t'] = 5581;
$_GET['highlight'] = ;
And when you write a something, a form, makes vars on the $_POST array.
So forum id is not ramdom, it is given by the f=[FORUM_ID] var at the URL/URI 
What is ramdom is the post shown, but I do not know if the code is ok, I made it on a hurry, and perhaps it has to be fixed

Thanks for your explanations, I want to understand you're telling me what I said is possible, so I'll try your code as soon as possible and I'll return to report the results

Ok, I will try to explain myself.
Perhaps php.net documentation will help you understanding me.
PHP reserved variables
$_GET documentation
$_POST documentation
About HTTP GET and POST....
