I am trying to figure out what to add in order to make the user name to the right under Last Post clickable to their profile. I've tried but I suck at this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bingiman
bing.. msn me... let work this out...hehe..
Q
Can someone please help me with this.
Thanks
*bump*
It's not so easy, since the user ID isn't stored on the table. You would need to join the posts table on last_post_id and get poster_id from that to use.
hmm...Can you do it? I would really appreciate it. please..

Can someone please assist me with this?
Sure 
This code is untested but should work
index.php
FIND
$result = $db->query('SELECT c.id AS cid, c.cat_name, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name, f.forum_desc, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.num_posts, f.last_post, f.last_post_id, f.last_poster FROM '.$db->prefix.'categories AS c INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON c.id=f.cat_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') WHERE fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1 ORDER BY c.disp_position, c.id, f.disp_position', true) or error('Unable to fetch category/forum list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());REPLACE WITH

What's about results?
And who's trying this? What's about results?
If you want to know if it works, it's only a few minutes job to test it yourself.
Thank you very much Smartys. I tried it but it didn't work so I began playing around with it and came up with the following which now works.
$result = $db->query('SELECT c.id AS cid, c.cat_name, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name, f.forum_desc, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.num_posts, f.last_post, f.last_post_id, f.last_poster, p.poster_id as last_poster_id FROM '.$db->prefix.'categories AS c INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON c.id=f.cat_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'posts AS p ON (p.id=f.last_post_id) WHERE fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1 ORDER BY c.disp_position, c.id, f.disp_position') or error('Unable to fetch category/forum list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());I had to change INNER JOIN to LEFT JOIN towards the end of the code and I also had to remove "true" from that line as well because if left in I can only see 2 of my forums. The same thing happened when I left INNER JOIN there as well. Anyway, it works great now.
Thanks again
Bingiman
I also added it to viewforum.php. It works great as well but maybe someone call tell me if what I did is correct:
original code:
$result = $db->query('SELECT c.id AS cid, c.cat_name, f.id AS fid, f.forum_name, f.forum_desc, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.num_posts, f.last_post, f.last_post_id, f.last_poster, p.poster_id as last_poster_id FROM '.$db->prefix.'categories AS c INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON c.id=f.cat_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'posts AS p ON (p.id=f.last_post_id) WHERE fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1 ORDER BY c.disp_position, c.id, f.disp_position') or error('Unable to fetch category/forum list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());new code:
$result = $db->query('SELECT f.forum_name, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.sort_by, fp.post_topics, p.poster_id as last_poster_id FROM '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'posts AS p ON (p.id=f.last_post_id) WHERE (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND f.id='.$id) or error('Unable to fetch forum info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());...and for the username as link
this:
$last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_topic['last_post']).'</a><br /><span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['last_poster']).'</span>';to:
$last_post = '<a href="viewtopic.php?pid='.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'#p'.$cur_topic['last_post_id'].'">'.format_time($cur_topic['last_post']).'</a><br /><span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' <a href="profile.php?id='.$cur_forum['last_poster_id'].'">'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['last_poster']).'</a></span>';Oh, right, left join in case there is no last post data 
I'm not sure why you would have to enable buffering though, unless you're running a query inside that loop (an unmodded PunBB does not)
Well, I am using the mod that shows the forum topic name on the index which was on the wiki.
Anyway, the second part there is messing me up. In viewforum I used the same code but whenever I hover over the username it is all the name user ID. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need to add?
Thanks
bingiman
$cur_topic['last_poster_id'], not $cur_forum['last_poster_id']
Also, in the viewforum query, you want to join the posts table to the topics table, not the forums table.
This is my existing code. I tried but I just cant get it.:
$result = $db->query('SELECT f.forum_name, f.redirect_url, f.moderators, f.num_topics, f.sort_by, fp.post_topics FROM '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') WHERE (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND f.id='.$id) or error('Unable to fetch forum info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());Smarty's can you help me with this? I keep trying but I can't seem to get it at all.
