Actual I did 1.5.1 ssi.php and after submitted it compuart made some chages to it. Some was for security others was to reduce query loads I made.  

[Spaceman-Spiff]

fixed the link

i'll see if i can change 1.5.1 SSI into 1.4.1 style in the next version
i just did that one quickly when upgrading my forum

i have downloaded the mod and boardmod, however as this is the first time im using boardmod with yabbse 1-5-1 (the last time being with yabb gold) I don't know where my script file is that it keeps asking for.

In other words, I have no idea how to install this mod

Can someone please explain it to me? thanks

edit in: I want to keep my site looking how it is http://ymv.vze.com

I want to have the little icons and then just the topic name, that links to the actual topic. I don't want dates or authors or anything like that.

[Spaceman-Spiff]

its the same way like when u install Y1G
but point the BoardMod to index.php instead of YaBB.cgi/.pl
after installing the mod, open the SSI.php and change the config part (on top of the codes, after the credits)
u'll need to change the path, and the parts that u want to show/hide in recentTopics2())
for details, read http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?board=158;action=display;threadid=11961

I have a feature request

I'd love to have the little message icon to still be there. Say they selected the thumbsup message icon, I'd like that to be there instead of the >>

Is this possible?

and thanks

[Spaceman-Spiff]

open SSI.php

search for the global part (beginning of recentTopics2()
add in the line after:

Code Select Expand

global $imagesdir;

replace

Code Select Expand

$request2 = mysql_query ("SELECT subject FROM {$db_prefix}messages WHERE ID_MSG=$row[ID_FIRST_MSG] LIMIT 1");

with

Code Select Expand

$request2 = mysql_query ("SELECT subject, icon FROM {$db_prefix}messages WHERE ID_MSG=$row[ID_FIRST_MSG] LIMIT 1");

replace close to the bottom of recentTopic2():

Code Select Expand

$thepost .="» <a ...
with

Code Select Expand

$thepost .="<img src=\"$imagesdir/$row[icon]\"> <a ...


maybe i should make something like news_template.php for recentTopics

[VZey]

I did what you said (i think)

But ended up with broken little images

My SSI file is here

Thanks.

This:

$thepost .="<img src=\"$imagesdir/$row[icon]\"> <a ...  

Should be:

$thepost .="<img src=\"$imagesdir/$row[icon].gif\"> <a ...  

No big deal..

Now I'm getting this

http://id.hostnexus7.com/.gif

But still no icon...

[Spaceman-Spiff]

sorry, 2 typos, its supposed to be $row2 and forgot the .gif

Code Select Expand

         $thepost .="<img src=\"$imagesdir/$row2[icon].gif\"> <a href

[VZey]

thanks It sorta works now, I'm getting

http://id.hostnexus7.com/smiley.gif

Do I just add /~ymv/forum/YaBBImages in the code somewhere?

[[Unknown]]

Need there be a global $imagesdir?

-[Unknown]

[Spaceman-Spiff]

yes, i've stated in my post above:

open SSI.php

search for the global part (beginning of recentTopics2()
add in the line after:

Code Select Expand

global $imagesdir;

Thanks so much, it works perfectly now

Sorry about the amount of questions I asked, it's just that I have no clue about coding and rely on copy n paste jobs.  

Anyways, thanks for your time.
