Last X Threads From A Particular Forum On Non-VB Page

Hi everyone,

By request, I have released this script which will display the last X number of thread titles from a specified forum. It will only show the thread starter so the thread doesn't look like it was started from a commenter or visitor.

Well, pictures are worth a thousand words so here's a screenshot:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions:

1) Download the script (of course).
2) Change the settings in the script.
3) Use include("/path/to/lastthreads3.php"); in your PHP page.

That's it! Enjoy.

It works just fine on my site, however I am having a problem getting it to display the post as well. It shows the thread titles and the person who posted it, but I would like to actually display the message as well.

This is a great hack.
I use it a lot into my website.
I would like to show also 400 first characters of a post below the link. I tried to select the text through the mysql sentence, but it appears unformatted (no spidering tags).
Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks in advance

just remove the "WHERE forumid=$forumid" completely from the query, and it'll select from every forum.

If you want to select from secified forum ID's, you'll have to write a loop to insert that ID foreach forumid

something like:

..."WHERE (loop here{each forum id}) ORDER BY"....

too lazy to type code ^_^.

so how do we put the code?

include("/path/to/lastthreads3.php");

or

/path/to/lastthreads3.php
