LBmtb's Recent Topics on Non-VB Pages

RECENT TOPICS by LBmtb
Version 1.03
Last updated: March 27th, 2007

DESCRIPTION
This script will display the topics with the most recent posts on a non-vb page (any HTML page). The page it's on must have a .php extension or you should setup apache to parse the page correctly. The threads with the latest posts are on top. The output is a clean list in this format:

HTML Code:

<ul class="vb_topics">

<li><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4150">This is the latest thread</a> <span class="vb_last_post">(user1 @ 12/18/06 05:58 PM)</span></li>

<li><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4138">Another recent thread</a> <span class="vb_last_post">(user2 @ 12/18/06 05:58 PM)</span></li>

</ul>

Customizable options include:

forum ID - choose to only include or exclude certain forums
number of topics displayed
CSS class names for the topic name/url and last poster/date
and a few others

COPYRIGHT
There is a copyright line. I am releasing this script on the condition that you do not remove this line unless you send $5 via paypal to webmaster@socaltrailriders.org. Thanks in advance for understanding.

DEMO:

I'll be cool like all the veterans out there and reserve the first post. :)

hmm... looks interesting. what would this be handy for?

Probably most useful for people who have a website outside of their forums. Like my website has some 'static' html pages aside from the forums. There are mods and vBAdvanced modules that do this sort of thing but I never found one that did this on a page outside of vBulletin.

So basically . . . handy for displaying recent forum activity outside of the forums. Check my website link in my sig for an idea of how I use it. :)

any chance to have a version that would add an "updated threads" list ?
Like :
palm spring ...(created by outlaw blabla, last answer by neil blabla)

Great, installed it but i am also interested in the "updated threads"

That will stick "(created by: MOSH1DH, last reply by: SAR_boats @ 12/18/06 09:23 PM)" at the end of it. Looks a bit long to me? What would be a better format for it?

Well if you set $post_date_format to 2 then it'll only have 09:23 PM for the last post time. That should ease up on the clutter.

UPDATE: Instructions for this functionality are in post 17.

THANKs, I am going to install it today :)
Well, me being in France (bonjour) any chance to have a 17:00 rather than a 5:00 PM time display ?

Still shows AM/PM after doing this. Nice mod, better than the one from vB's support site, which is never up-to-date.

Installed.

Bob

Its possible to export this mod to a Javascript that lent me some like this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">

    var parameter1=value1;

    var parameter2=value2;

    etc.

EDIT: I forget to say that the vbSEO version will be great, i use it

Awesome! Thanks for this. :)

Oops, didn't notice the lack of AM/PM. Only noticed the 24hr time (it's finals week here and I'm tired). I updated post #9 - now it takes out AM/PM also.

If you modified it like I said before and it shows 24hr time and AM/PM just do a find/replace turning "H:i A" into "H:i".

You're welcome. :)

I use something similar based on a stripped vaispy code (without the scrolling part) inside an iframe. I use this because I need it to look at the permissions, so gathering data directly from the database wouldn't suit my needs.

Congratz anyway.

Works fine, thanks.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE: uploaded a new version that can restrict the threads to just a select number of forums. If you want to use this feature, modify "$fid_raw =" (there's instructions in the code).

It won't check whether the user is logged in and what he/she has permission to. But you can simply restrict it to forums that you want to be publicly available.

:)

edit: Added following instructions.

In this newer version, if you guys want to include the thread creator as was discussed in post 7, do this:
FIND:

PHP Code:


		
			
$thread_sql = mysql_query("SELECT threadid,title,lastpost,lastposter FROM ".$db_prefix."thread WHERE visible=1 AND open=1 $fid_final ORDER BY lastpost desc LIMIT $limit");

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:


		
			
$thread_sql = mysql_query("SELECT threadid,title,lastpost,lastposter,postusername FROM ".$db_prefix."thread WHERE visible=1 AND open=1 $fid_final ORDER BY lastpost desc LIMIT $limit");

FIND:

PHP Code:


		
			
    echo "<li><a href=\"$forum_url/showthread.php?t=$tid\">$thread_get[title]</a> <span class=\"$recent_poster\">($poster $seperator $date2)</span></li>\n";

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<li><a href=\"$forum_url/showthread.php?t=$tid\">$thread_get[title]</a> <span class=\"$recent_poster\">(created by: $firstpost, last reply by: $poster $seperator $date2)</span></li>\n";

The time instructions are still the same to change from 12hr to 24hr.

Anybody need upgrade instructions to go from 1.00 if you already installed it to 1.01? Only new functionality is to be able to restrict threads to multiple forums.

i've entered my db settings but it only outputs this

recent topics by SocalTrailRiders.org

FABULOUS, FABULOUS!!! (Nice site, btw!)

Any chance this works on non-vb pages that are on a different domain?

ETA
I just went back and read the entire first post. Now I see it works on any HTML page.

I think I'm in love!! :)

Re-check the db settings, it sounds like the connection to the database or the query failed. Did you remember about the table prefix (if any) also? PM me if you still have trouble.

I haven't tried it on different domains since my site isn't run like that but I would think you'd just change $db_host to whatever the db server is.

LBmtb: all db settings seems to be ok ... its kind of weird why it doesnt work :S

I'm about to install this now. I think ill donate you the $5 as well, because i'm hoping you may be able to help me with getting it to fit into the current style of my site, as I know ill end up having trouble with that part.

Also what are the chances you will release other vbadvanced mods for non vb pages? Because then you would be my god lol. There are all these mods that I used to use, but since going to a non vb page for my homepage, I have not been able to use any of them.

Thanks a lot, hornstar. I don't have msn. Do you have aim? I'm lbmtb on there.

Chances of releasing vbadvanced mods for non vb pages are fairly slim. I don't and have never used vbadvanced before. I also have an upcoming events script on my site - that one I got off of vbulletin.org. I'm sure you can find it if you search. PM me with mod ideas if you'd like.

I have this same problem. v1.00 works but v1.01 does not.

Bob

Ah, dangit. You guys are right. Here's the fix:

FIND:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($fid_array)  {

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($fid_raw)  {

I updated the top instructions. Sorry!

Plan for tomorrow: Add the ability to exclude forums. Currently you can only specify forums to include.

The include would be useful if you want threads from just one or two forums. If you want most forums to be displayed except for one or two then you'd want to use the exclude thing.

Good to hear! :)

Updated the script with the ability to exclude certain forums. Included upgrade instructions from 1.01. So now you can either specify forums to include OR forums to exclude.

Anybody have any suggestions for future releases?

Well I sent you a list of other mods suggestions, but so far this looks great. I'm just trying to get it positioned into the right spot on my homepage tho, i'll probably spend hours on that lol.

Some suggestions could be to also include a snipet of the post, and if you do that, then I have heaps of ideas to go on from their.

also do you have the vbseo version?

also you misspelled your domain name in the copyright part.

Thanks.

hm... maybe you know how to parse bb-codes stored in DB ? I was did similar task, but I have trouble with parsing vBulletin bb-codes :(

More info here.

I'll try and get the vbSEO one released tomorrow. Snippet of post is possible. What would be more useful: snippet of the last post made or of the first post?

Here ya go: linkage.

Im thinking first post would be more useful, maybe release this one as a second mod release, have it like a news system. so it displays a snipet of the post including all bb code. that would be really good for some more content on my homepage.

Thanks.

Hi, is there anyway to display only the name of the person who started the thread, and NOT the latest poster?

Never mind, I figured it out. Thanks for this nice script.

Mind sharing it, the more we have the better.

LBmtb,

I need help to install it and i dunno much about PHP. care to guide me along or anyone.

I do not know how to do this part:
<< The page it's on must have a .php extension or you should setup apache to parse the page correctly. >>

can someone help me out with this? i really like this mod, i am testing it and if he works i will need to get the copyright removed ($5)...

btw, where should i add this html code?

HTML Code:
<ul class="vb_topics">
<li><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4150">This is the latest thread</a> <span class="vb_last_post">(user1 @ 12/18/06 05:58 PM)</span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4138">Another recent thread</a> <span class="vb_last_post">(user2 @ 12/18/06 05:58 PM)</span></li>
</ul>

As far as i know, You need to create an inframe in HTml page to put in the site address of that PHP file and it will open in the inframe.

I hate the borderline of the inframe, so my homepage has to be index.php, in order to put the code without the inframe border.

a programmer that i paid, told me this. I wonder why the script creator dun reply.

Quote:

// use one or the other, not both. if left blank the script will return threads from any forum
$fid_raw = ""; // ONLY include threads from these forums. seperate each ID with a comma
$fidx_raw = ""; // Exclude threads from these forum. seperate each ID with a comma

How do you put the ID there?

I am attempting to install this and it does works as designed, however I am trying to include multiple instances of the script on the same page, each instance using a different forum./

example:

top of page use only forum 14
middle of page use only forum 13

yadda yadda

I can include multiple instances of the same forum meaning I can place forum 14 in as many places of a page as I want, but I cannot get a second forum to show in a different location of the page.
