I received this script from Turcic.com and I am modifing it to meet my needs for a new home page that I am working on!

you can see it in action here:

http://www.sportsrant.com/indexpost.php

I actually have it working great but I want to add one small feature!! the replies/comments that are posted to it in the forum that I am pulling this from: the "full story" works fine and goes to the forum post. I was wondering if someone could help me add the replies to it: here is the code:

PHP Code:

         echo " </tr></table>";

    }

}



?>

this is the actual line that shows the "full Story" link

PHP Code:


			
echo "<td class=\"content\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"upgrade/vb/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]\"><br>(Full Story</a>, Comments )<br><br><br><hr></td>";

AND the actual data coming from the database.....

PHP Code:


			
$threads = $DB_site->query("

    SELECT $previewfield

        thread.threadid, thread.title, thread.lastposter, thread.lastpost, thread.postusername, thread.dateline, forum.forumid, forum.title AS forumtitle

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread

    $previewjoin

    INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum ON(forum.forumid = thread.forumid)

    LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON (deletionlog.primaryid = thread.threadid AND deletionlog.type = 'thread')

    WHERE thread.forumid IN(" . implode(',', $forumids) . ") $forumchoice

        AND thread.visible = 1

        AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL

    ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC

    LIMIT 5

ANYONE!!!!!!

I am not sure what you want exactly ...
Do you 1) want to show the whole thread at this page or 2) do you want to have reply-functionality?
For 2)

PHP Code:


			
 echo "<td class=\"content\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"upgrade/vb/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]\"><br>(Full Story</a>, Comments [<a href=href=\"upgrade/vb/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&t=$thread[threadid]\">Comment this</a>])<br><br><br><hr></td>";

instead of the original one might do the trick (if your users are allowed to post replies in the forum(s) the thread(s) come from.

Or do you want smth. completely different?

msimonds · #3 01-20-2004, 06:13 PM

I want to have that ability and right next to that show the number of replies in (3) [example]. is that something that can be done

Andreas · #4 01-20-2004, 06:23 PM

Replace

PHP Code:


			
    $threads = $DB_site->query("
       SELECT $previewfield
         thread.threadid, thread.title, thread.lastposter, thread.lastpost, thread.postusername, thread.dateline, forum.forumid, forum.title AS forumtitle

With

PHP Code:


			
    $threads = $DB_site->query("
       SELECT $previewfield
         thread.replycount, thread.threadid, thread.title, thread.lastposter, thread.lastpost, thread.postusername, thread.dateline, forum.forumid, forum.title AS forumtitle

Replace

PHP Code:


			
 echo "<td class=\"content\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"upgrade/vb/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]\"><br>(Full Story</a>, Comments )<br><br><br><hr></td>";

With

PHP Code:


			
 echo "<td class=\"content\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"upgrade/vb/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]\"><br>(Full Story</a>, $thread[replycount] Comments [<a href=href=\"upgrade/vb/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&t=$thread[threadid]\">Comment this</a>])<br><br><br><hr></td>";

This should give you an output like

(Full story, 3 Comments [Comment this])

msimonds · #5 01-20-2004, 06:36 PM

i added your code and I am getting this in the bottom!

(Full Story, Array{replycount] Comments [Comment this])
