- - Need Hack : lat 10 posts in a marquee (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=26695)

I need the hack that shows the last 10 posts in a marquee at the top of the forum .

Does anyone know from where to get it ?

I'm already working on this. :)

Add this code in your phpinclude template:

PHP Code:


		
			
$latestposts=$DB_site->query("SELECT postid,LEFT(pagetext,20) AS text FROM post ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 10");

while ($latestpost=$DB_site->fetch_array($latestposts)) {

  if ($marquee) {

    $marquee .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;";  // String to seperate between each link

  }

  $marquee .= "<a href=\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$latestpost[postid]\">$latestpost[text] ...</a>"; // Link and text for post

}

Now you can use $marquee in your marquee tag for the content.
This will only select the first 20 characters of the post, and add ... after it (with a link to the post).

Is it possible to use this on a non vb page?

Create this page as marquee.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



error_reporting(7);



require("./global.php");



$latestposts=$DB_site->query("SELECT postid,LEFT(pagetext,20) AS text FROM post ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 10");

while ($latestpost=$DB_site->fetch_array($latestposts)) {

  if ($marquee) {

    $marquee .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;";  // String to seperate between each link

  }

  $marquee .= "<a href=\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$latestpost[postid]\">$latestpost[text] ...</a>";

}

?>

<marquee-code-here value="<? echo("$marquee"); ?>">

and put it in your forum's root.

Now just use SSI to include it

Code:

and also change the actually code for the marquee as I don't know it.

Great Hack Firefly.

Need an addon if possible.

I would like to for example exclude forumid 14, 43, 87 from the marquee.How would I do this?

Try this code

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



error_reporting(7);



require("./global.php");



$latestposts=$DB_site->query("SELECT postid,LEFT(pagetext,20) AS text FROM post WHERE forumid<>14 AND forumid<>43 AND forumid<>87 ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 10");

while ($latestpost=$DB_site->fetch_array($latestposts)) {

  if ($marquee) {

    $marquee .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;";  // String to seperate between each link

  }

  $marquee .= "<a href=\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$latestpost[postid]\">$latestpost[text] ...</a>";

}

?>

<marquee-code-here value="<? echo("$marquee"); ?>">

I think that's it... try it. :)

error with this. it worker before I made the change to exclude forums.

</pre>

there is no forumsid column in post table :( we have to search in tread table with threadid, but i dont know how to do in in mySQL :(

Yeah you're right.

I'll see if I can do this...

we have to check ther threadid in thread table and get the forumid from there

FireFly, can you make it look like this:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/crosstick.htm
... then that'll be cool!

How would you make it show just the thread, and not the posts?

Other than that, this is pretty cool :)

webhost:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



error_reporting(7);



require("./global.php");



$latestposts=$DB_site->query("SELECT post.postid AS id,LEFT(post.pagetext,20) AS text FROM post LEFT JOIN thread ON thread.threadid WHERE thread.forumid<>14 AND thread.forumid<>43 AND thread.forumid<>87 GROUP BY post.postid ORDER BY post.dateline DESC LIMIT 10");

$marquee = "";

while ($latestpost=$DB_site->fetch_array($latestposts)) {

  if ($marquee) {

    $marquee .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;";  // String to seperate between each link

  }

  $marquee .= "<a href=\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$latestpost[id]\">$latestpost[text] ...</a>";

}

?>

<? echo("$marquee"); ?>

(working)

hmmm... thanks, but for some reason its not showing the title of the thread, it just shows ...

Any ideas?

AJ, I don't understand. You want the latest 10 threads' titles to be displayed?
If so, use this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



error_reporting(7);



require("./global.php");



$latestposts=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid,title FROM thread ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 10");

$marquee="";

while ($latestpost=$DB_site->fetch_array($latestposts)) {

  if ($marquee) {

    $marquee .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;";  // String to seperate between each link

  }

  $marquee .= "<a href=\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$latestpost[threadid]\">$latestpost[title] ...</a>";

}

?>

<marquee-code-here value="<? echo("$marquee"); ?>">

AWESOME... thanks :)

No problem. :)

ozone2000:
I'll get to you when I fix webhost's version. :)

Ok I'm gonna guess you want what webhost wants:
http://forum.t-cove.com/hack.php
http://forum.t-cove.com/hack.phps (for the source, but without color - stupid host)
