nope won't work check out my site http://www.animenewsinc.net/ you will see what i mean.

i am wanting to add through template variables or so on how to show recent posts as a list not just a number. i already figured out how to show the numbers of total posts and topics now i want to show recent posts/topics.

my site is using tpl files but the main part doesn't have the over_all files included. which means it doesn't show the forum as part of it

From memory, it's recent_topics block either static or scrolling - narrow or wide.

Sucking something out of the CMS would be a lot of work I would imagine.

Here's a stand-alone you could clean up and play with.

Copy the script to myrecent.php, edit the vars at the top and put it in the root.

And of course the mark-up is pretty basic.

alright but how would i go about showing that in my footer of my main site? i figured that works but what i am looking for is how to add the code to my php file that i already have set up for the tpl file.

what i am wanting is like a list that will show in my footer under recent posts.

if you look at my site you will see what i am looking for. http://www.animenewsinc.net/ look at footer at the recent post section.

Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. Icy Phoenix Debug] PHP Notice: in file /top.php on line 14: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'devildo2'@'localhost' (using password: NO) 
  2. Unable to select server. 
  3.  


when i try to include the file and echo out the results i get this error. i don't know how to fix it either i tried putting in the info for the mysql myself but then i get table doesn't exist.

Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. SQL Statement Error: Table 'devildo2_phpb362.topics' doesn't exist 


when i enter the details alone.

Change the top of the file (With your paths) to:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
<?php
// ############         Edit below         ########################################
$topic_length = '30';    // length of topic title
$topic_limit = '5';    // limit of displayed topics
$special_forums = '0';    // specify forums ('0' = no; '1' = yes)
$forum_ids = '';        // IDs of forums; separate them with a comma
$config_path = './../forum/';    // path to config.php
$root_path = '/forum/';        // link path
// ############         Edit above         ########################################

$path = dirname(__FILE__);
include($config_path .'config.php');
mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpasswd) OR die('Unable to select server.');
mysql_select_db($dbname) OR die('Unable to select database.');

// ############## output ##############


Add this to your .tpl file where you want it to appear.

<?php
include "myrecent.php";
?>

That's what I did.

It's supposed to be stand-alone and not require any IP files other than config.php.

put myrecent.php in the root of your forum and call it up.

http://blah/myrecent.php and it should come up - let me know if it works?

Just a minute - It appears that you have IP in the root of your public folder, so this part of the path is not required.

oh i am looking for a way to include it into my file by putting the code into my custom page file and put the template vars into the tpl. i am not looking for a standalone version LOL.

but that can come in handy tho so thanks for that part.

but what i am wanting is like a blog roll or blog post list but with the recent posts or topics. either one will work. i just to put something so when visitors come to my site they see the recent posts/topics and can click on the title or link and read more of it.

pretty much it's like wordpress recent topic list widget but instead of it being wordpress it does the recent posts/topics from the icyphoenix.

That's what it does. ?

I imagine that you could create a function for that code and put it in your .php file along with creating a template vars array for the VARS in these strings and paste the vars into your template rather than have php echo the html.

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
                       <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">'. $topic_type .'<a href="'. $topic_url .'">'. $topic_title .'</a></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td><a href="'. $forum_url .'">'. $line[$i]['forum_name'] .'</a>: '. $last_url .' '. $last_time .'</td>
                    </tr>';

Here's some script I modified for IP.    

And if this doesn't work, then one of us is doing something wrong.  

recent.php:

recent.tpl

Smart way to solve it mort.

There is another way, which is using an RSS parser, so you can include recent posts directly from RSS... you can find plenty on the web.
