[Done 1.5.1] recentPoll & New recentTopics() for SSI.php

[DickBarton]

Hi there,

I've just downloaded and installed this Mod...everything seems to be working apart from one thing - I'm getting the same thread being displayed throughout my list on the webpage.

The webpage is here - http://www.stirlingbikeclub.org.uk - I'd like to display the last 8 - 10 threads that have had activity - how can I do this?

When I do a version check of my YaBB SE, this is what it gives me - YaBB SE 1.5.1RC1.

If I can't get this done with this version, how can I 'rollback' to a previous version to allow me to do this? Although reading this thread it would appear this latest version of the SSI.php is meant to only show 1 instance of each thread... (I'm confused!   ).

Right, I hereby claim that I am unable to follow thread links - I did indeed find the fix for this in the User Guide link from your omanga pages.

Sorry for the hassles!  

Thanks very much for your help,

Richard.

i have just been on your site and the threads seem to be appearing Ok.
The first one is:
Re:rides this week (March 2003) by Ian_PV
and the last one is:
Re: Glentress Virgin by Dougal.S
they have different dates.

am i missing something here?

GWP - thanks for taking the time to look over my site...I have now managed to find the fix and implement it.

It's sorted now, but thanks again.

Richard.

[Spaceman-Spiff]

updated mod
Changes in v1.3:
- included 1.5.1final version
- fixed poll width not showing properly

anyone tried the recentPoll yet?
any comments?

[Roundboy]

yes.. tried recentpoll..

i am unable to vote:

Either that poll doesn't exist, the poll has been locked, or you tried to vote twice.

looking at url.. it is only putting:

Code Select Expand

?action=vote

at the end of the url...  it needs the board arguments, etc.

[Spaceman-Spiff]

it works, the vote is transfered using post method, so it wont show in the url
the only bug i made is a typo for function call
i wrote sessionCheck() instead of checkSession() >_<
i'll release a fixed version soon

[Spaceman-Spiff]

updated, pls redownload if u've downloaded the mod before 5 secs ago

Hey spaceman-Spiff this is a cool   mod. i like it already although i have some trouble with it ..
perhaps you can help me out.

I applied the mod 1.3 but i cant get it to work in files made by my self

I only get everything to work when i place the code in the ssi_examples.shtml.

but as soon as i rename that file (nothing changes exept the file name) it gives me this

error Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/ssi_examples2.shtml on this server.
is there a file where i should include newly made shtml files? or what  am i overlooking?

and another thing is ..is it possible to target the frame or let it open in a new window?

to see what i mean  i have made a link to my test site.
http://www.hostelsamsterdam.com/flyingpig/alt1024/1024all.htm where the ssi_examples works and the other not

I would realy apreciate it if you could help me out... and when ever you r in amsterdam you can stay the night for free in the hostel

i am baffled

thanks in advance

maime

[maime]

alright ..that was really dumb of me
i had the permissions wrong on the server
sorry for that

youre still invited though..

so i got it working

but still before i forget it in my enthousiasm... the target thing i have not figured out yet....

[Spaceman-Spiff]

but still before i forget it in my enthousiasm... the target thing i have not figured out yet....

hmm... which target thing are u talking about?

[maime]

Hi spaceman,

I use  a small frame on de side of my site of about 200 pixels width to put the the recent topics and thepoll in.

clicking on a link makes that the topic (or in fact the whole board) is opened in that frame.

so my question is; is it possible to change something in the ssi.php so that the showed links opens full screen in a new browswer or that you can taget them to a named frame?

if you look on http://www.hostelsamsterdam.com/flyingpig/alt1024/1024all.htm you see my test setting... and the problem i am facing  

I opened ssi.php to try somethings but i keep messing it up instead of getting results

thanks
ps i hope this carifies my prewvious  mumbling about the target thing  

[Spaceman-Spiff]

i see what you mean now...
u can leave the target url to that frame only, so it will work okay with the recent poll
for the recentTopics, u can edit so all the urls will point to  _top, example:

Code Select Expand

$recent_topic = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' ...replace with:

Code Select Expand

$recent_topic = '<a target="_top" href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' ...

[maime]

 
o man this is fantastic..
it took me only a few minutes to get the results... and i am getting more insight on php (he said a little bit over curaged) thanks a lot  space man - spiff i am realy helped out by this

hi,
i got one more question

if i want to use a another picture instead of $recent_icon in
echo "<tr><td>» $recent_icon [$recent_topic] by $recent_poster</td></tr>\n";
how do i do that?

i made an image called ltopic.gif and i thought this was the methode
echo "<tr><td>» $image[ltopic][$recent_topic] by $recent_poster</td></tr>\n";

because it worked with existing images like $img [home]
but i got errors when i tried to use my own pic
can you tell me what i am doing wrong?

thanks
