Re: New frontpage index mod!
Well, no one seems to be able to get the truncate to work. 
Re: New frontpage index mod!
The truncate script that soonotes posted works perfectly if you make that slight change to the regex. It just needs adapting for your script.

Thank you MattF. Nice job, regex gives me headaches.
I should be thanking you for posting the script, not vice versa. 
Cheers.

Re: New frontpage index mod!
I know that MattF. The problem is that I can't do it. I've tried along with quaker and we can't get it at all. We are not coders and we have absolutely no idea where to even begin. Can you add it to the script if I post it here for you. I would really, really appreciate it.

Apologies. So you're actually referring to getting the script working generally within that script then, and not specifically to the truncate not working, so to speak? (If that makes any sense). 
Edit: Integrating the truncate into that index script is what I was meaning by the above. I'll have an attempt at it later.

Re: New frontpage index mod!
You need to set $trunc_chars, in both places it occurs, to the character truncation limit. It occurs once near the top of the file, and again in the second function, near the top of the file. Set both to the same number. Here's the file:

Edit: Btw, hope you don't mind me neatening the code up a tad whilst I had it?

Bugger. Just posted the one I'd done before I noticed you'd already posted one.

Don't mean to be a pain soonotes but is there a way for this to display more than one forum?
Try this one. The lines near the top:
$newsid[] = '1';
$newsid[] = '2';Just add extra lines with each forum id, i.e:
$newsid[] = '3';
$newsid[] = '4';Untested but should work.
Re: New frontpage index mod!
looks and works great. How do I get the ... at the end of the truncated text as soonotes had in his own?

Re: New frontpage index mod!
I see a slight problem in the script. If I set it to 350 characters and my text is below that it still displays the read more link.

Have you set both $trunc_chars settings to the same number? If so, the read more link should just become '- -' if the message is below the character limit.
Re: New frontpage index mod!
Hi MattF,
below is my final script with all the changes etc. This one works perfectly and I figured out the append stuff just before I read this post (pats himself on the back )
Anyway, I also made some changes to the Read More area. If there was nothing more to read you still had the ||. I've eliminated that with a few changes. Here is it:

Re: New frontpage index mod!
Won't that order posts by the forum they are in rather than the order they were posted though?
Re: New frontpage index mod!
hmm..Maybe MattF can look into that. I also found a problem. If I set for example 2 forums to display then the max setting which is (5) really has no effect. It displays way more than that. If however I remove the second forum, then it displays the correct amount of posts. Any solution for this issue and the one Connorhd mentioned.
Cheers!

The order they were posted per forum, in forum chunks, yes. Ordering them by creation time irrelevant of forum would be a bit of a rewrite, though. Besides, unless it's just me with an unusual way of thinking, per forum creation order does seem more logical than per creation order overall for the list ordering. The script could then accomodate some type of division to split the table layout between forum sections. (Btw, the above does make perfect sense in my head, but may appear a bit rambling, by the looks of this post).

Right. We'll start afresh. What do you want the script to do? Rather than adding bits that you want to the script you had, what exactly do you want the script to achieve, working from a blank start? Btw, the max setting is per forum, not overall.
Re: New frontpage index mod!

Re: New frontpage index mod!

In what regard? If you say what you're wanting the script to do, overall, we can skip the piecemeal approach and see if the script is workable for what you actually *want* it to do, rather than adding bits which don't. Make a list. (A specifically defined and explanatory one).

bing has added a lot of functions and we continue to make it grow with more stuff.
