Hi Guys,

Do you know how it can be used to make some syndication?
I want other sites to display that info.

There is a syndicated news hack somewhere in these forums. I use it on my site and it works great. Search for 'syndicated news'.

Does this hack work on other urls too? Or does it only work on one url? Is there a way to make it work on two urls, but one forum?

If the thread is multiple pages, it still only links to page 1 of the thread. Is it possible to get it to link to the last page of the thread so they don't think the system is screwed up? If this could be changed it would really help me out.

I would really appreciate it if this modification could be made. :)

Is there anyway of displaying the "last x" posts on another domain and on a .html page? Maybe there is some javascript that you could use? Please help.

Well, is there any way I can use this on another site? My forums are at http://forums.gtplanet.net, but I want to show the last 10 threads on my homepage, http://www.gtplanet.net. I've tried all kinds of little tricks, but none of them work. Can anyone help?

have you tried that:

<?
$fd= fread(fopen("http://www.site.com/forum/page.php", "r"), 100000);
if ($fd)
echo $code;
?>

this code grabs any info from any site and can be used with a starting point and an end point, making you grab only what you need, but I don't think that you need that in your case. My experience with that, it slows things down a bit, because it has to go and read from another site.

Can you please make it so that if the thread is two pages, that the link links to the second page, instead of the first? Great hack Tube. If you want to see how I modified it, check out this link:

Hi
I runing postnuke on my server can I also use this hack?

thanx for any information:)

Thanks Lionel, but I'm using SSI. :( Is there still some way I can do this?

Hi I want a simple listing in a table that is 25 rows and 2 columns wide, with each topic occupying one row (topic title, with link to it in like this:

<a href="titlelinkhtml">title topic name</a>,

so 25 topics per column as follows:

. Topic 1 . Topic2
. Topic 3 . Topic 4
. Topic 5 . Topic 6
. Topic 7 . Topic 8
. Topic 9 . Topic 10
.... upto Topic 50
And so on.....25 rows, 2 columns. How the format of the table looks (width etc.) should be customizable hopefully.

It is hard for me to draw the table but I guess you guys get the idea (or so I hope!).

The hack seems to draw up one huge table one column wide and XX rows long?

Is there any way to modify this hack to display the table in 2 columns, and to be able to use style sheet being used in that non-vb page..? UBB 5.x had a very simple active thread hack that worked great and displayed a great looking table.

Im getting this error can someone plse help?
Im using it with postnuke.

Warning: Unable to access /forums/admin/config.php in /web/www.mydomain.dk/portal/last10.php on line 13

Fatal error: Failed opening required '/forums/admin/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /web/www.mydomain.dk/portal/last10.php on line 13

You need to put last10.php in your web root below your forums directory. Or you need to supply the entire path to config.php if you want to put it in your portal directory. In last10config you would put something along the lines of /web/www.mydomain.dk/forums/admin as the path to you config.php file. You'll have to experiment if you don't want keep last10.php in the web root.

all postnuke files are in root
and I have a dir called "forums"

last10.php--->forum root right?
last10config---> in root(my server) right?

and in which file should add this?(in post nuke)
include("last10.php"); ?>

thanx in advance
dm

ok done:)

now I have another question.
I want the Lastxxx in the center Block how can I activate this?

Put <? include("last10.php"); ?> where you want it in the center block.

hmm I got error when I put this code.
everything working fine but I really need this last touch:)

and then Im a happy guy hehe

Hey Guys, I use Post Nuke and tried inserting it into the post nuke code. Well I got errors, it took awhile to get it to work and even then it wasn't right. What I determined was when this hack opens the MySQL connection to the vBulletin database it's then left open and Post Nuke then tries to query the wrong database. Even though I tried closing the vB connection it still showed PN trying to access it. So bottom line, it won't work if you run a website that already has a MySQL database.

Want to know my solution to the problem? I simple downloaded my vB database data & structure and added it to my Post Nuke database. This is killing my page load times when working with the database, but I get so much out of this merge it's worth it.

My bad, you need to put the complete path to the file if it's not in the same directory. So it would be <? include("/web/www.mydomain.dk/portal/last10.php") ?> if it's still where it was before.

Hi could anyone please help me modify this hack so that it displays a 2 column table instead of a 1 column table? Thanks!

Anyone want to help with this 2 column mod to this hack? :confused:

Man ... I get a headache trying to read this thread. I tried to read it, but am totally confused.

Bump

Hello,
I did install your hack on my site and it works very good. Thank you for that !

my site

I have a question:
I noticed that new threads appear on the non vB pages BEFORE they are moderated on moderated forums... So someone (an "evil" one ;-) could bypass the authorization and pollute the home page of my site...

I wonder if you had already this issue and if something could be done for that.

Find this line in last10.php:Add AND visible='1' just before ORDER BY. That should do the trick.

Hi !
Thanks for the quick answer ! :)

I tried to do that but an not moderate message appears though...

:stupid:

the line is like that now:

Anyone want to modify this hack so that it displays a 2 column table instead of one ? :(

This is a great hack. I have been enjoying it from day 1. Can $showicon be modified to show a thumb image of an attachment instead? The thumb image will be generated at upload with the prefix tn_

is there anyway I can fix the size?(so its non resizeable)
it working fine but it just pushing my blocks away:(

Hi tubedogg, I have your last10.php file of your nice Last XX topics in non-vb page. Since you are quite busy, I am trying to figure out how to display 2 columns instead of 1 for the lastXX active topics myself.

Could you please tell me where (or what counter) you are updating the counter to increment the while loop you are using in the last10.php display threads code? Is it an array of XX number of topics?? I am completely clueless about PHP or coding but I am trying to figure out things.

Anyone else want to tell me what the counter is in this while loop that is incrementing till 25? I saw the while condition but it makes no sense :confused:

Your help would be appreciated a lot!

Hello Tubedog ?
Hello FWC ?
I come back with my same question .:cry:

Is there any way to stop displaying unmoderated messages on non vB pages through your so good hack. ?

I tried the solution suggested by FWC but it did not work...

Help !!

Hello, i have downloaded and installed tha hack, i have read all the pages yet i am still struggling to exclude the Admin and Mods forum from being displayed. I rolled over the link and it said forum id 29 so i tried it and it does not work.

Can anyone help????

Its ok i have got it working now. I was uploading it to the wrong directory. Thanks, and great hack :)

Got it working here (www.tennesspeed.net) and made a few slight changes to the code. Excellent hack, Tubedogg!

WOW... My eyes are tired. I read through all 21 pages... saw my problem mentioned about 4 times by different people and no one ever replied as to hos to fix it, unless I missed it.

Here it is again:

Fatal error: Failed opening required '/admin/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/virtual/rickhz/home/httpd/html/forums/last10.php on line 13

lastpost10 is in the forums directory.

Here is my path to admin:
$path = "/admin";

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to make this work?

Thanks,
Rick

Ok got it going I had to do this:

// let's get connected
require("last10config.php");
$servername = "localhost";
$dbusername = "dbusername";
$dbpassword = "dbpassword";
$dbname = "dbname";

In the last10.php file. I saw that on page 2 or 3 of this thread.

Have you guys seen how this lays out in Netscape? The text lays over itself. I had to disable the show messages option.

Since mine is disabled use this as an example:
http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/active.php
Parkers does the same thing.

I'm running NS 4.76.

Solved this one too... somewhat. I removed the <nobr></nobr> as someone had mentioned. Trouble is in Netscape the tables still don't look right. Here's a link to my attempt at this...
http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/active.php

Anyway to make it so the user can choose between going to the first post and the most recent post in a thread??

Any probs if I change the code:

$url/showthread.php?threadid=$threads[threadid]&goto=newpost\">

to

$url/showthread.php?threadid=$threads[threadid]

So that the first post of the thread is shown instead of last?
