Hi guys.. I had these great hacks on my index page of my web site (not the forum main page).. 1) showed us who's online on the home page 2) showed us the latest 3 posts.. since the upgrade (vB2)....no longer works:

Goes like this in my index.php file (not in the forum directory):

<?php
chdir ("forum/");
require("whosonline.php");
chdir("../");
?>

<?php
require("posts.php");
?>

<?php
echo $loggedinusers;
?>

anyway.. posts.php showed me the latest 3 posts on my home page:

<?

$num_active = 3;
$num_chars = 75;

$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassw ord);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$querylatest="select * from thread where forumid='23' order by lastpost desc limit $num_active";

$resultlatest = mysql_query($querylatest,$db);

print("<center><table width=\"100%%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">");

while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) {

// Get Forum Infomation
$query_forum = "select * from forum where forumid='$latest_array[forumid]'";
$result_forum = mysql_query($query_forum,$db);
$forum_info_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_forum);

printf("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" bgcolor=\"#35587B\">%s: %s</td></tr>",$forum_info_array["title"],$latest_array["title"]);

// split the date up a bit
$datestr1 = substr($latest_array["dateline"],0,10);
$datetime = substr($latest_array["dateline"],11,8);
printf ("<tr valign=\"top\"><td width=\"15%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%s Updated: %s Replies: %s</td>", $latest_array["postusername"], $datetime, $latest_array["replycount"]);

$querythread="select * from post where threadid='$latest_array[threadid]' order by dateline asc limit 1";

$result_thread_text= mysql_query($querythread,$db);

$result_thread_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_thread_text);
printf ("<td width=\"85%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%sLast Post By: %s<hr>%s... <a href=\"/forum/showthread.php?threadid=%s\">Click here for more</a></td></tr>",$result_thread_array["iconid"],$latest_array["lastposter"],substr(strip_tags($result_thread_array["pagetext"]),0,$num_chars),$latest_array["threadid"]);
printf ("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%%\"> </td></tr>");
}

printf ("</table>");

printf ("");

printf (" ");

printf (" Top 3 Latest Posts:ClubFreestyle.com takes no responsibilities for these public messages.");

$querylatest="select * from thread where forumid='1' or forumid='10' or forumid='11' or forumid='9' or forumid='12' or forumid='13' or forumid='14' order by lastpost desc limit $num_active";

$resultlatest = mysql_query($querylatest,$db);

print("<center><table width=\"100%%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">");

while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) {

// Get Forum Infomation
$query_forum = "select * from forum where forumid='$latest_array[forumid]'";
$result_forum = mysql_query($query_forum,$db);
$forum_info_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_forum);

printf("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" bgcolor=\"#35587B\">%s: %s</td></tr>",$forum_info_array["title"],$latest_array["title"]);

// split the date up a bit
$datestr1 = substr($latest_array["dateline"],0,10);
$datetime = substr($latest_array["dateline"],11,8);
printf ("<tr valign=\"top\"><td width=\"15%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%s Updated: %s Replies: %s</td>", $latest_array["postusername"], $datetime, $latest_array["replycount"]);

$querythread="select * from post where threadid='$latest_array[threadid]' order by dateline asc limit 1";

$result_thread_text= mysql_query($querythread,$db);

$result_thread_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_thread_text);
printf ("<td width=\"85%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%sLast Post By: %s<hr>%s... <a href=\"/forum/showthread.php?threadid=%s\">Click here for more</a></td></tr>",$result_thread_array["iconid"],$latest_array["lastposter"],substr(strip_tags($result_thread_array["pagetext"]),0,$num_chars),$latest_array["threadid"]);
printf ("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%%\"> </td></tr>");
}

printf ("</table>");
?>

But it dosent work anymore on vB 2..can someone help me to re-hack this?
I get a terrible database error..its ScArY :-)

you best take a look at the vB code that does what you want and copy it out.

The code is in index.php file, and starts at the line with:

Code:

if ($displayloggedin) {

and ends with:

Code:

  eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\";");

JackG · #3 04-16-2001, 06:00 PM

Whats wrong? Is it the database call or the tehr code.. or does it all have to be re-hacked?

Please advise..

Or please post the code ... pretty please?

#4 04-17-2001, 08:32 AM

it's most likely the DB call, you best copy the one used in that section I noted.

JackG · #5 04-18-2001, 01:57 AM

doron, that helped with the logged in useres.
Can you give me some advice on displaying the latest posts on the home page by altering this code:

<?

$num_active = 3;
$num_chars = 75;

$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassw ord);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$querylatest="select * from thread where forumid='23' order by lastpost desc limit $num_active";

$resultlatest = mysql_query($querylatest,$db);

print("<center><table width=\"100%%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">");

while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) {

// Get Forum Infomation
$query_forum = "select * from forum where forumid='$latest_array[forumid]'";
$result_forum = mysql_query($query_forum,$db);
$forum_info_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_forum);

printf("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" bgcolor=\"#35587B\">%s: %s</td></tr>",$forum_info_array["title"],$latest_array["title"]);

// split the date up a bit
$datestr1 = substr($latest_array["dateline"],0,10);
$datetime = substr($latest_array["dateline"],11,8);
printf ("<tr valign=\"top\"><td width=\"15%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%s Updated: %s Replies: %s</td>", $latest_array["postusername"], $datetime, $latest_array["replycount"]);

$querythread="select * from post where threadid='$latest_array[threadid]' order by dateline asc limit 1";

$result_thread_text= mysql_query($querythread,$db);

$result_thread_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_thread_text);
printf ("<td width=\"85%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%sLast Post By: %s<hr>%s... <a href=\"/forum/showthread.php?threadid=%s\">Click here for more</a></td></tr>",$result_thread_array["iconid"],$latest_array["lastposter"],substr(strip_tags($result_thread_array["pagetext"]),0,$num_chars),$latest_array["threadid"]);
printf ("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%%\"> </td></tr>");
}

printf ("</table>");

printf ("");

printf (" ");

printf (" Top 3 Latest Posts:ClubFreestyle.com takes no responsibilities for these public messages.");

$querylatest="select * from thread where forumid='1' or forumid='10' or forumid='11' or forumid='9' or forumid='12' or forumid='13' or forumid='14' order by lastpost desc limit $num_active";

$resultlatest = mysql_query($querylatest,$db);

print("<center><table width=\"100%%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">");

while ($latest_array = mysql_fetch_array($resultlatest)) {

// Get Forum Infomation
$query_forum = "select * from forum where forumid='$latest_array[forumid]'";
$result_forum = mysql_query($query_forum,$db);
$forum_info_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_forum);

printf("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" bgcolor=\"#35587B\">%s: %s</td></tr>",$forum_info_array["title"],$latest_array["title"]);

// split the date up a bit
$datestr1 = substr($latest_array["dateline"],0,10);
$datetime = substr($latest_array["dateline"],11,8);
printf ("<tr valign=\"top\"><td width=\"15%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%s Updated: %s Replies: %s</td>", $latest_array["postusername"], $datetime, $latest_array["replycount"]);

$querythread="select * from post where threadid='$latest_array[threadid]' order by dateline asc limit 1";

$result_thread_text= mysql_query($querythread,$db);

$result_thread_array = mysql_fetch_array($result_thread_text);
printf ("<td width=\"85%%\" bgcolor=\"#336699\">%sLast Post By: %s<hr>%s... <a href=\"/forum/showthread.php?threadid=%s\">Click here for more</a></td></tr>",$result_thread_array["iconid"],$latest_array["lastposter"],substr(strip_tags($result_thread_array["pagetext"]),0,$num_chars),$latest_array["threadid"]);
printf ("<tr><td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%%\"> </td></tr>");
}

printf ("</table>");
?>

What I would like to see on my home page (not forum home page) is this search result:

http://www.clubfreestyle.com/forum/s...e&searchid=298

If anyone can help.. It would be appreciated!

Thanks.
