Latest Threads on Forumhome with Ajax.

[Lizard King]

I am trying to add Ajax to Chris M's Latest Threads on Forumhome (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83230) plugin because i found this is a great add on for forumhome. My problem i am not a coder at all maybe i can call myself as a beginner :smoke:
I've read a lot of tutorials about Ajax and here is the part which i am stuck at. The threadbits i am trying to get is a plugin :) and i need a php to recall the data. Is there a way to skip this part ?
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var sendReq = getXmlHttpRequestObject();
var receiveReq = getXmlHttpRequestObject();
var lastMessage = 0;
var mTimer;
//Function for initializating the page.
function startthreads() {
document.getElementById('threadbits').focus();
getthreadbits();
}
function getXmlHttpRequestObject() {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
return new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} else {
document.getElementById('p_status').innerHTML = 'Status: Cound not create XmlHttpRequest Object. Consider upgrading your browser.';
}
}

//Gets the current messages from the server
function getthreadbits() {
if (receiveReq.readyState == 4 || receiveReq.readyState == 0) {
receiveReq.open("GET", 'whatinhere' + lastthread, true);
receiveReq.onreadystatechange = handleReceivethreads;
receiveReq.send(null);
}
}</script>



Help will be really appriciated.

ok, this should work

install https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83230

Add a new plugin in global_start

if (THIS_SCRIPT === 'index')
{
$vbulletin->templatecache['header'] .= '<script type=\"text/javascript\">
<!--
function fetch_latest()
{
if (latest.handler.readyState == 4 && latest.handler.status == 200 && latest.handler.responseText)
{
fetch_object(\'latest\').innerHTML = latest.handler.responseText;
}
}

function getlatest()
{
latest = new vB_AJAX_Handler(true);
latest.onreadystatechange(fetch_latest);
latest.send(\'ajax.php\', \'do=latest\');
}
//-->
</script>';
}


Add a new plugin in ajax_start

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'latest')
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumlist.php');
// #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################
// fetch the permissions for each forum
global $vbulletin;

$forumperms = array();
foreach($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum) {

$forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

if (!($forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) {
$limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];

unset($forum);

if ($vbulletin->options['threadpreview'] > 0) {
$previewfield = ', post.pagetext AS preview';

exec_switch_bg();

eval("\$threadbits .= \"".fetch_template('forumhome_latestthreadbit')."\";");
}
if ($threads) {
$show['latestthreads'] = true;
}
echo $threadbits;
// memory saving
unset($thread, $threads);
$db->free_result($getthreads);
}

in the FORUMHOME template find

$threadbits

replace with <div id="latest">$threadbits</div>

Find $vbphrase[latest_threads]

replace with $vbphrase[latest_threads] [<a href="#collapseimg_forumhome_latestthreads" onclick="getlatest();">Reload Latest Threads</a>]

[skrazydogz]

Is it possible to include the function in the Hack "Cyb - Forumstatistics" ?

[Jezlad]

Can anyone confirm if this works?

I'm looking for a small Ajax latest threads ticker to place alongside the chatbox.

Any ideas?
