Thx Tubedogg, it's perfect now. :)

For all (registered, guests and unlogged) it would be fine just something like server time +- n hours (or GMT +- n hours), without using cookies.

If in this way there are some problem with showing the correct date, it could be let it off.

Works great (except): When I put a forum number(s) in either (only 1 of the two) include or exclude forums, "can't select info" .

If I leave these blank, display's with no problem. Help!

Excellent hack.

Odd...I can't reproduce that problem. Make sure you are only putting numbers and commas into those two variables, and separating the numbers with commas. So it might look like:

That's exactly how I did it.
Would it be a good idea (or possible) to have the script automatically exclude private forums?

Nice hack tubedogg, it fit right in with what I was needing. Here is how I used it.

looks good, wajones! :)

Thought I'd share this, a few of my users wanted to include tubedogg's last10 hack on a vbulletin page and this is what I came up with...

In a copy of the last10.php script comment out or delete the following

require("$path/config.php");
$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassw ord) or die("Can't open connection to MySQL");
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Can't select database");

now add this to the phpinclude template

ob_start();
include_once("./last10.php");
$last10 = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Then I was able to add $last10 into any vbulletin template to display the last10 table. Saved a lot of work trying to create templates and changing his code, plus if he changes it, it's simple to upgrade.

very cool idea. thanks, wajones! :)

tubedogg

any plans to add javascript, so that last posts can be shown in remote sites without actually accessing mysql.? I think it will be very useful for many ppl.

I like this better...
Create another copy of the last10.php named thelatest.php so you can set different param's.
Create a new forum and name it 'The latest posts" or what ever set it to "act as forum = no and open for posts = no" now put this into the phpinclude in place of what I told you before... $forumid being that forum you created

ob_start();
if ($forumid==34){
include_once("./thelatest.php");
$thisweek= ob_get_contents();
}else{
include_once("./last10.php");
$last10 = ob_get_contents();
}
ob_end_clean();


Now in the forumdisplay template find...

$forumdisplay[forumslist]

then right above it put $thisweek

Now the last10 or $thisweek in this case will show as a forum and be in the jumpforum box for quick access :D

Let me know if you see any conflicts....
