Murphinator 01-18-2005 02:43 PM
ok then someone please tell me how

Marco van Herwaarden 03-07-2005 03:47 PM
Ok, Please test this good first:

1. Create a new Forum on the place you want to featured forum to show up.
2. Enter a Title and if wanted a description
3. Set a display order
4. LEAVE THE REST EMPTY!!!! (or put a link to a forum in "Forum Link")

now save the following into a new file in your includes/cron directory:
PHP Code:
<?php

// Sample featured forum cron script by MarcoH64

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

if (!is_object($DB_site))
{
    exit;
}

// Define the featured forum link, insert forumid
$featuredforumlink = 6;
// Fill array with forumids to choose from
$chooseforums = array(2,4,5);

// No more changes needed under this

// Select random forum
$selected = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
            WHERE forumid IN (" . implode(",",$chooseforums) . ")
            ORDER BY RAND()
            LIMIT 1
            ");

// Update forum info
$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
            SET link = '$vboptions[bburl]/forumdisplay.php?f=$selected[forumid]'
            WHERE forumid = $featuredforumlink
            ");

require_once('./global.php');
            
build_forum_permissions();


log_cron_action("Featured Forum Updated. New featured forum: $selected[forumid]", $nextitem);

?>
Edit the $featuredforumlink and the $chooseforums var's.

Setup the new cronjob with a schedule you want. All should go auto now.

PS This is an example on how you could do it, change for your needs.
