- - [RELEASE] Show dead topics on non vb page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=2285)

what's the method to include the code (display the dead topics) on a non vb page via .shtml at another webhost.
i'm hosting my vb entry page on a separate hosting account (www.entrypagehost.com/index.shtml), away from the forum (www.forumhost.com/index.php)!!

can you help me with the code, including the dead topic list on my entry page. the include("/full/path/to/deadtopics.inc.php"); method doesn't work!

thx a lot!
yours vanessa

well i got this to work at http://animeboards.net

to include the php file i did

Code:

<?php 

include("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/deadtopics.root.php3"); 

?>

and here's my deadtopics.root.php3 file

Code:

<?php

// Set this to the max number of dead topics you want to display

$maxthreads = 20;



require("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/forums/admin/config.php");

$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword);

mysql_select_db($dbname);

$query = "SELECT * FROM thread WHERE replycount < 1 AND forumid != 21 AND forumid != 22 AND forumid != 23 AND forumid != 28 AND forumid != 24 AND forumid != 7 AND forumid != 13 AND forumid != 32 AND forumid != 34 AND forumid != 37 AND forumid != 5 AND forumid != 6 AND forumid != 33 AND forumid != 15 ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT $maxthreads";

$resultlatest = mysql_query($query,$db);

while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) {

echo "<FONT SIZE=\"1\" FACE=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">??

<A HREF=\"http://animeboards.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=$latest_array[threadid]\">$latest_array[title]</A></FONT><BR>";

}

 

?>

and i believe you can't put this php code in a .shtml file unless you set your server to parse php in .shtml

you need to use .php, .php3 file for it to work... what i did was create index.php3 which includes all of the above and then include index.php3 into a index.shtml file

in the index.php3 file i had at the very top before <html> tag the following

Code:

<?

 require("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/forums/admin/config.php");

 require("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/phpads/config.inc.php3"); 

 require("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/phpads/view.inc.php3"); 

 require("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/phpads/acl.inc.php3");

 chdir("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/forums"); 

 require("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/forums/global.php");  

?>

I want to post the top X most popular posts for the last X days. Not the most popular ever, but just for the last X days, so that the recent popular ones stay popular.

Thoughts as to how to do it?

This script seems to be very server intensive. I am using:

Code:

<?php

// Set this to the max number of dead topics you want to display

$maxthreads = 25;



require("admin/config.php");

$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword);

mysql_select_db($dbname);

$query = "SELECT * FROM thread WHERE replycount < 1 AND forumid <> 25 ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT $maxthreads";

$resultlatest = mysql_query($query,$db);

while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) {

echo "<FONT SIZE=\"1\" FACE=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">&nbsp;°

<A HREF=\"http://forums.paintballcity.com/showthread.php?threadid=$latest_array[threadid]\">$latest_array[title]</A></FONT><BR>";

}

 

?>

Any one have ideas on how to make it not so server intensive.

Change SELECT * FROM

to

SELECT threadid, title FROM

Ok. What about this Active topics hack from EVA2000. Can you give me any ideas on how to optimize it:

Code:

<? 

require("admin/config.php");

$num_active = 10; 

$num_chars = 95; 



$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword); 

mysql_select_db($dbname); 



$querylatest="select * from thread where forumid='1' or forumid='2' or forumid='3' or forumid='4' or forumid='5' or forumid='6' or forumid='7' or forumid='8' or forumid='9' or forumid='10' or forumid='11' or forumid='12' or forumid='13' or forumid='14' or forumid='15' or forumid='16' or forumid='17' or forumid='18' or forumid='19' or forumid='20' or forumid='22' or forumid='23' or forumid='25' or forumid='26' or forumid='27' or forumid='28' or forumid='32' or forumid='34' or forumid='35' or forumid='36' or forumid='37' or forumid='38' or forumid='39' or forumid='40' or forumid='41' or forumid='42' or forumid='43' order by lastpost desc limit $num_active"; 

$resultlatest = mysql_query($querylatest,$db); 



print("<center><table width=\"100%%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">"); 



while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) { 



// Get Forum Infomation 

$query_forum = "select * from forum where forumid='$latest_array[forumid]' limit 1"; 

$result_forum = mysql_query($query_forum,$db); 

$forum_info_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_forum); 



printf("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" bgcolor=\"#87A4C2\"><b><font color=\"#000000\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">%s: %s</font></b></td></tr>",$forum_info_array["title"],$latest_array["title"]); 



// split the date up a bit 

$datestr1 = substr($latest_array["dateline"],0,10); 

$datetime = substr($latest_array["dateline"],11,8); 

printf ("<tr valign=\"top\"><td width=\"15%%\" bgcolor=\"#B9B9B9\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><b>%s</b><br>Updated: %s<br>Replies: %s</font></td>", $latest_array["postusername"], $datetime, $latest_array["replycount"]); 



$querythread="select * from post where threadid='$latest_array[threadid]' order by dateline asc limit 1"; 



$result_thread_text= mysql_query($querythread,$db); 



$result_thread_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_thread_text); 

printf ("<td width=\"85%%\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><img src=\"http://forums.paintballcity.com/images/icons/icon%s.gif\"> Last Post By: %s<hr>%s...<br><a href=\"http://forums.paintballcity.com/showthread.php?threadid=%s\">Click here for more</font></td></tr>",$result_thread_array["iconid"],$latest_array["lastposter"],substr(strip_tags($result_thread_array["pagetext"]),0,$num_chars),$latest_array["threadid"]); 

printf ("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%%\"> </td></tr>"); 

} 



printf ("</table></center>"); 

?>

Thanks. :)

Rangersfan: That change makes it a bit faster, but its still pretty slow.
