Can anyone see any problems with this code?
 
This code grabs the most recent post, author blah blah... I keep getting an error message that states:

This guy has been giving me some problems, any help would be appreciated

put in global $DB_site; and see how that goes.

Deaths 03-21-2005 07:21 PM
You need your global.php mate.
Change
PHP Code:
/* Needed for use without vBA
 require_once('./global.php'); 
*/ 
to
PHP Code:
//Needed for use without vBA
 require_once('./global.php'); 
;)

BigIke 03-21-2005 08:59 PM
I've installed many hacks but for some reason, I can't get the path right for my global.php.. I have set it to /homepages/24/d116946458/htdocs/vb/global.php , but it now says
Quote:
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/24/d116946458/htdocs/vb/global.php on line 50
I suspect my path in the features.php is wrong... But thats why I came to you guys, because you're the experts :glasses:

noppid 03-21-2005 09:05 PM
Something else is assuming you are in the forums folder.

try ...

chdir("/homepages/24/d116946458/htdocs/vb");

Before your call to include global.

Deaths 03-21-2005 09:06 PM
Heh :).

Are you coding a vBa cmps module?
Or is this a normal script, and you're using a cmps module as a guide?

BigIke 03-21-2005 09:11 PM
Yeah, this is for a vBadvanced module at the top of my site. I made sure that I specified the forum to pull the objects from
Quote:
/* Forum to Grab thread/post from */
$box_forumid_1=2;
Then, I made a template so that the "features.php" could be displayed in it.

Deaths 03-21-2005 09:14 PM
Try filling in 2 instead of the variable, see what it gives.

BigIke 03-21-2005 09:20 PM
NOPPID- you're the man. I put the chdir... before it, and now I don't receive an error message. One problem though, and I suspect it is with my template, but if you go to the homepage, well, you can see its kind of messed up.
My template goes something like this...
Code:
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
    <tr>
        <td class="tcat">
            <strong><span class="smallfont">$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $vboptions[bbtitle]Features</strong></span>
        </td>
    </tr> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
    <tr>
        <td class="tcat">
            <strong><span class="smallfont">$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $vboptions[bbtitle]Features</strong></span>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%" height="600">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1">
        <div align="center"><iframe src="$vboptions[bburl]/modules/features.php" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</table>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%" height="600">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1">
        <div align="center"><iframe src="$vboptions[bburl]http://s116946478.onlinehome.us/vb/modules/features.php" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I wasn't sure how to include the features.php module without using an iframe, and I think that's what is causing the problems. By the way, thanks for everyones input so far.

Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment while we are testing some functionality.

We will be back soon...
You can add it as a module, then let the file call the template...

BigIke 03-21-2005 09:26 PM
So, I don't need the <iframe> part in there at all and have the module call adv_portal_features (the template)?

BTW: I opened the forum back up so you can see the problem occurring.

Everything is cool now. Thanks for all of your help

Deaths 03-22-2005 08:30 AM
Yes, add your PHP file to your modules list, and it should work.

Have you pu the layout of your module in your PHP file? If so, place it in a template.

BigIke 03-22-2005 11:14 PM
My only problem is that I am not sure how to format the template. The module is activated and it includes features.php, but I am unsure what to put in the template to display the information that the php script retrieves. Anyone have any ideas?

Deaths 03-23-2005 10:41 AM
Post the script you coded here, else we can't help you.

BigIke 03-23-2005 06:33 PM
It's the same one as above. Here it is
Code:
<?php

/* Needed for use without vBA
 require_once('./global.php');
*/


/* ###### VARIOUS SETTINGS ###### */

$box_max_title_length=30;
$box_max_post_length=80;
$box_do_parse=0; /* Set to 1 to parse BBCODE */
$box_attachment_file="http://s116946478.onlinehome.us/vb/attachment.php?";

/* ###### GRABBING DATA ###### */

/* Only needed if you're going to be using bbcode */
if($box_do_parse==1){require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');}

/* Forum to Grab thread/post from */
$box_forumid_1=2;

/* Grabbing the thread */
$box_forumid_1thread = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread
WHERE forumid = '$box_forumid_1' ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC ");

/* Grabbing the first post */
$box_forumid_1_first_post=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
WHERE threadid = '$box_forumid_1thread[threadid]' ORDER BY dateline ASC");

/* Grabbing the first attachment */
$box_forumid_1_image=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."attachment
WHERE postid = '$box_forumid_1_first_post[postid]' ORDER BY dateline DESC");

$image1=$box_forumid_1_image['attachmentid'];

/* ###### FORMATING DATA ###### */

/* Max title length */
if(strlen($box_forumid_1thread[title])>$box_max_title_length){
$box_forumid_1thread[title]=substr($box_forumid_1thread[title], 0, $box_max_title_length);
}

/* Max post length */
if($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]>$box_max_post_length){
$box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]=substr($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext], 0, $box_max_post_length);
}

/* Parse BBCODE if desired */
if($box_do_parse==1){
$box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]=parse_bbcode($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]);
}

/* IMAGE CREATION */
$box_1_image="<img src='".$box_attachment_file."attachmentid=$img_m&stc=1' width='100' height='100' border='0'/>";

/* Template to use for data */
eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_features') . '";');

?>

Deaths 03-24-2005 03:00 PM
What info do you want displayed?

BigIke 03-24-2005 09:49 PM
hey i got it all sorted out finally. Thanks for all the help, especially from Deaths and noppid.

actually, lol, i have one other thing... I got the title pulled, but how do i make it a link to that post? and the cut off is at 150 words, but how do i create a link that says "read more", for my users to read the rest of the posts?

Deaths 03-25-2005 02:27 PM
Link to thread:
Code:
<a href="showthread.php?t=$box_forumid_1thread[threadid]">$box_forumid_1thread[title]</a>
.

To limit the message to a certain amount of chars (in this case 250):

PHP Code:
if (strlen(YOUR_VAR_FOR_MESSAGE) > '250')
            {
                YOUR_VAR_FOR_MESSAGE = fetch_trimmed_title(YOUR_VAR_FOR_MESSAGE, '250' . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vboptions['bburl'], $box_forumid_1thread['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);
            } 
Don't forget to replace the YOUR_VAR_FOR_MESSAGE text with the variable you use for your message!
The PHP code must be added to the PHP file, BELOW the query, and BELOW the parsing of the bbcode in it (if you parse it), but ABOVE the calling for the template.

That should work, if not, let me know.

BigIke 03-26-2005 03:50 PM
The link to the thread worked great. I'm not sure what you mean by the variable I use for my message, though..

Deaths 03-26-2005 03:57 PM
Well, how do you display that text?

BigIke 03-26-2005 04:13 PM
Do you mean the $box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]? I'm sorry, I'm in the process of learning PHP, but I'm not too far along.

Deaths 03-26-2005 04:53 PM
Yes, that's it.

This should work:
PHP Code:
if (strlen($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]) > '250')
            {
                $box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext] = fetch_trimmed_title($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext], '250' . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vboptions['bburl'], $box_forumid_1thread['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);
            } 

BigIke 03-26-2005 05:19 PM
I get this error:
Quote:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /homepages/24/d116946458/htdocs/vb/modules/features.php on line 55
It's probably because I put it in the wrong place, but I checked and I think I put it where it should be. BTW thanks for coming back and checking my progress

Deaths 03-26-2005 06:18 PM
Ah, sorry, my bad.

Its supposed to be this:

PHP Code:
if (strlen($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext]) > '250')
            {
                $box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext] = fetch_trimmed_title($box_forumid_1_first_post[pagetext], '250') . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vboptions['bburl'], $box_forumid_1thread['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);
            } 
And if that doesnt work, you can try this aswell:

PHP Code:
if (strlen($box_forumid_1_first_post['pagetext']) > '250')
            {
                $box_forumid_1_first_post['pagetext'] = fetch_trimmed_title($box_forumid_1_first_post['pagetext'], '250') . construct_phrase($vbphrase['read_more'], $vboptions['bburl'], $box_forumid_1thread['threadid'], $session['sessionurl']);
            } 

BigIke 03-26-2005 06:32 PM
I tried both, but a "read more" doesn't show up. Check it out here. Should something be added to the template?

Deaths 03-26-2005 06:36 PM
It should show up normally...

Try searching in your phrases for read_more, does that exist?

BigIke 03-26-2005 06:42 PM
GOT IT! I took out the previous code that limited the post length because it was conflicting with your code, which worked. Thanks so much man for all your help; before all of this I was going to pay someone to do this for me, so you saved me some money. Again, thanks for the time you've put into this, and thanks to others who contributed.

Deaths 03-26-2005 06:50 PM
No problem mate.

If you need any other help, just PM me, or post a thread :)
