I want to start off by saying I take no credit for this code. I simply found a easy bug.

I have been looking for a "Racent Topics" script to pull 10-15 of the latest threads onto a non-vB page. Well I almost gave up, but decided to give RobinHood's code one last try.
The error that you receive is:
Quote:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxx/public_html/lastposts3.php on line 48
|
The reason being that the prefix for the tables has to be manually added.
Original:
Code:
<?php

Enjoy!

Correct (for vB3.0.7):
Code:
<?php
