Notes:
1. This file is designed for right-to-left languages. If you want it for a left-to-right language, then you will have to change the "dir" attribute in the "html" tag to "ltr" and the "direction" attribute in the "marquee" tag to "left".
2. This file was not checked for best browser compatability and standards compliance.
3. The file is static (server-wise). It doesn't have to be a ".php" file. The "magic" happens by the interaction between the client-side javascript code and the external2.php content provider.
4. You will also need to change the "src" attribute of the first "script" tage, and the URL variable in the second script to point to your own forum.
5. The best way of making use of this script is to insert it in your forum as an iframe. This way, you will always have the threads with the latest posts displayed on all pages.

I installed this mod and changed it a bit to include a link to the last poster's post and their profile. The poster link correctly goes to the last's poster's profile, but the username displayed is the thread starter instead of the last poster.
Does anyone know what I need to replace threads[t].poster with to get the name of the last poster instead of the original? Below is my code:
<script src="/forum/external2.php?type=JS&limit=5&orderby=lastpost"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
i =0 ;
for (t in threads) {
var titleAsString = new String(threads[t].title);
if (titleAsString.length > 20)
{
var newTitle = titleAsString.substring(0,20);
newTitle = newTitle + "...";
}
else
{
var newTitle = titleAsString;
}
document.writeln("<div class=smallfont><img src=/images/dot_o.gif width=5 height=5 border=0> <a class=smallfont href=\"/forum/showthread.php?t="+threads[t].threadid + "&goto=lastpost\">"+newTitle+"</a><br> " + threads[t].threaddate + " : " + threads[t].threadtime + "<br /> by: <a href=\"/forum/member.php?find=lastposter&t="+threads[t].threadid+"\">"+threads[t].poster+"</a><br /><br /></div>");
}
//-->
</script> |
