Q

here you go..

place this in a php file in the include/user folder
mine called test5.php
now go to the main.tpl and add the pun_tag.

<div class="block">
        <h2 class="block2">Recent Post</h2>
        <div class="box">
            <div class="inbox">
             <pun_include "test5.php">       
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

<?php

showRecent(10); // Set amount of posts to be displayed here

function showRecent($show=5) {
    global $lang_common, $db, $pun_config, $db_prefix;

    $order_by = 't.last_post';
    $forum_sql = '';

//$show = isset($_GET['show']) ? intval($_GET['show']) : 5;
        //if ($show < 1 || $show > 50) $show = 5;

$trunc_len = 30; // Set amount of text to be displayed in subject.

// Fetch $show topics
    $result = $db->query('SELECT t.id, t.poster, t.subject, t.posted, t.last_post FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON f.id=t.forum_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id=3) WHERE (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND t.moved_to IS NULL'.$forum_sql.' ORDER BY '.$order_by.' DESC LIMIT '.$show) or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());


    
    
            while ($cur_topic = $db->fetch_assoc($result)) {
        if ($pun_config['o_censoring'] == '1')
     $cur_topic['subject'] = censor_words($cur_topic['subject']);
    $subject_truncated = pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']);
 



    echo '<li>  »<a href="'.$pun_config['o_base_url'].'/viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'&action=new" title="'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'">'.substr($cur_topic['subject'], 0, $trunc_len).'</a>...'."\n";
    }
    echo '</li>';
    return;
}
?>

GREAT! Works fine!

Just wonder.. How do I add the time when its posted <?php echo format_time($cur_post['posted']) ?>??

Is it possible to add something like this:?

if post < 20 chars add ... after the line.

Q

check the left sidebar!

I want to put the recent topics, posts etc in a box under your "links" for example. I only want the recent topics to be displayed under each other like your links. I think u have used the mod_active_topics_1.2 and that script works fine for me. But thats not what I need here, only the headlines of each topic.

I have done this:

//in main.tpl
<pun_include "active_topics.php">

// in include/user/active_topics.php
<?php
include('http://127.0.0.1/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=1');
?>

What happens is that I get an error:

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in ...

Warning: include(http://127.0.0.1/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=1) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in

Failed opening 'http://127.0.0.1/extern.php?action=new&show=10&fid=1' for inclusion (include_path=....

Hi!

I dont get the extern and include to work. Just getting alot of errors. A while a go I had php4 on the server and now I got php5 and it doenst seem to work anymore.

Is there an other way to get the last topics, posts etc without using the extern.php?

Yes, you can query them directly them from the database using sql, and display them yourself.

But maybe if you post more information about your problem somebody can tell you how to fix it. What exactly happens?
