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

[Spaceman-Spiff]

u can just put html code there, like:
<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/image1.jpg" border="0" />

thanks spaceman did not know it was that easy.

I actualy managed it in an other way..  i couldnot stand it that i never found out something myself and i have to say its my first real found out myself php coding
finally  ;)i did

echo "<tr><td>$img[ltopic][$recent_topic]</td></tr>\n";

and put a reference in the english.Lng file

$img['ltopic'] = '<img src="' . $imagesdir . '/ltopic.gif" alt="' . $txt[333] . '" title="' . $txt[333] . '" border="0" />';

yep,yep   my first php coding i am quiet pleased with myself and gonna eat a lot of chocolat now

your  <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/image1.jpg" border="0" /> is much more efficient though i know

[Spaceman-Spiff]

echo "<tr><td>$img[ltopic][$recent_topic]...

actually that's not the proper way, u can just do it like:

Code Select Expand

echo "<tr><td>$img[ltopic]...
because ltopic is an array index in $img variable
if you do like $img[][] it will be a 2d array, array inside an array (might be a bit confusing concept for a beginner )

my first php coding i am quiet pleased with myself and gonna eat a lot of chocolat now

hmm... chocolate

Hi,

ive just installed your mod and it works great, no problems at all. i was just wondering if i could request a feature?

my page currently shows the last 5 topics on the main page, would it be possible to make some sort of archive that shows all the topics? or say 50 topics? the problem is, that the amount of topics displayed is defined in ssi.php . Is there some way around this?

any help would be great

[Spaceman-Spiff]

open the new SSI.php, search for

Code Select Expand

function recentTopics ($template = "rTopics_template.php")
{
   global $settings, $scripturl, $txt, $censored, $db_prefix, $num_recentTopics, $username;replace with

Code Select Expand

function recentTopics ($template = "rTopics_template.php", $num_recentTopics = 5)
{
   global $settings, $scripturl, $txt, $censored, $db_prefix, $username;

then when calling the function, use:
recentTopics("templatename.php", numOfTopics)

[QuanTum]

Code Select Expand

v1.4 is released following the security/bug release of 1.5.1 -> http://www.yabbse.org/community/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=21654
it's strongly recommended to upgrade your mod
if u're using BoardMod, it should be only around 4 clicks

Would it be possible to have it to take the latest poll from a certain board. So you can for example have a (might even be hidden) poll board, and just view te poll on your website ?

[Spaceman-Spiff]

u're right, i havent set the permission thing
for now if u want to show polls only from a certain board: search for

Code Select Expand

            LEFT JOIN `{$db_prefix}topics` AS t ON (t.ID_POLL=p.ID_POLL)add after

Code Select Expand

         WHERE t.ID_BOARD = '12'and change that 12 with the board number

[Spaceman-Spiff]

released v1.5
Changelogs:
• New in v1.5:
 - recentpoll now not showing hidden boards unless the user has the permission

$polltxt[1] = "Umfrage nicht gefunden!";
$polltxt[2] = "Umfrage ist deaktiviert!";
$polltxt[3] = 'Um abzustimmen, musst Du eingeloggt sein. Wenn Du noch keinen Account hast, <a href="' . $scripturl . ';action=register">registriere</a> Dich bitte.';
$polltxt[4] = "Kommentare anschauen";
$polltxt[5] = "Ergebnis anschauen";

Hiya Spiff,
Just wanted to say great mod, and is exactly what I was looking for (the poll portion). I do have one small question. When my poll displays, seperating View results and view comments is a | character, and this in turn creates a white space between the two options. I went into english.lng and found this line:

Code Select Expand

$polltxt[4] = "View comments";
$polltxt[5] = "View results";

if ($MenuType == 1)
{
   $menusep = ' | ';

Which I assumed was that seperator command. However, I tried leaving white space, or just replacing it with another symbol, yet it didn't change on the page. Am I looking at the wrong thing, is there a way around this, or is it stuck like that?

Thanks in advance,

Meth

edit SSI.php:

Code Select Expand

<a href="' . $url . 'action=viewResult">' . $polltxt[5] . '</a> | ' . $viewComments . 'and

Code Select Expand

<td class="' . $bodystyle . '">' . $txt['yse24'] . ': ' . $totalvotes . ' | ' . $viewComments . '</td>

[Metho]

That did it.

Thanks much,
