Last X Posts Titles on Non-VB page · **Released**: 03-17-2004

Hi everyone,

Well, here is my first full release to the vB.org community. It's a small little script I just whipped up a few minutes ago. I already have this on my webpage for months now and thought I'd share it with the rest of you.

Description:
This script will display the titles, poster's names, and times of the last X's posts. It's fully customizable. Should be very easy to understand so enjoy!

Instructions:
1) Download the script below.
2) Change the settings in the script.
3) Insert include("/path/to/lastposts3.php"); anywhere in a non-VB page.

If you like to check out a live demo, you may go visit one of my sites: http://www.generazn.com.

If you have any problems, questions, or comments regarding this, feel free to post them here or send me an email to tre@phase1media.com.

I love your hack, it's wonderful! I have a question, though.

Is it possible to restrict the hack from getting latest posts in boards only certain usergroups can see, such as staff boards?

Where do you upload the script?

		$wheresql .= " AND thread.forumid!='$excfid[$i]'";	++$i;
	}
}

Find:

Code:

SELECT threadid,title,lastpost,lastposter

Add on the same line:

Code:

,forumid

Find:

Code:

WHERE visible=1

Add on the same line:

Code:

$wheresql

All done..

I followed these instructions to exclude a private forum, but its not working, its still showing the post on the homepage. Any ideas why?
BTW, I'm running 3.7.3

Another thing, the list of the recent post does not automatically update when I load my homepage, I have to press the refress button in order to update the list. Is there a fix for this?

nevermind, I figure it out, I was putting the wrong forum id number, I was putting the id of the parent forum not the actual child forum.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
