UPDATED! Not a new version number, but a bug fix.
Fixed another bug with using forum titles and included forums. New update: *Actually* fixed the bug with the forums this time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's my best work to date (if I do say so myself ) and I think you'll like it and like all the configuration you can do. This image shows the script with all of the columns on, and parsing [code], smilies, and the post icon, as well as showing the forum title before the thread title. This image shows the script with all the columns off except $lastpostdate, and the $tw (table width) set to 600, and $showdate set to 0 (to just show the last post time). This image shows the same as #2, except $tw is blank (allowing the table to compact and remove the empty space automatically). Hack version: 1.0.1 Changes since version 1.0.0: Fixed small bug. Changes since version 0.1.0: Parses [ b], [ i], [ u], [ code], and [ quote] within the "last post". Displays the icon of the post, or the thread if there is no post icon. Parses smilies. New option to convert new lines to <br> so the post appears as the author wrote it (note: may cause problems if there are large breaks in posts). Changes since version 0.0.2: New option to show the text of the last post of a thread (also option to limit the number of characters of the post displayed). New option to set the table width, as a percent, a number of pixels, or just let the table size naturally. New option to show just the time of the last post, instead of the date *and* the time. New option to show a thin line around the cells (cell spacing). Changes since version 0.0.1: Include only specific forums, or set to allow all forums except certain excluded forums. New option to display a "Last post date" column with the last post date and time, formatted with your board's date & time setting. Fixed a bug with font and font size. Split the config into a separate file to make editing easier. For version: v2 betas 3, 4, 5, RC1, RC2. Files needed: last10.php, last10config.php (see attached zip file). Files to edit: last10config.php (see attached zip file). Possible file locations: Anywhere, as long as the relative path to config.php and the URL to your board are correct. Also, you must put last10.php and last10config.php in the same directory! Instructions 1] Unzip the files last10.php and last10config.php to your hard drive. 2] Open last10config.php in an ASCII text editor, such as Notepad (Windows), SimpleText (Mac), EditPlus, UltraEdit, TextPad, etc. (DO NOT use WYSIWYG HTML editors such as FrontPage, HotDog, DreamWeaver, etc. They will in all likelyhood screw up the file! I will not be able to support you if you edit the file in one of these programs.) 3] Edit the variables at the top. These are:
<? include("last10.php"); ?> To include it on a server-parsed page (.shtml, .shtm, .ssi, etc.): <!--#include file="last10.php"--> Instructions are also included in the zip file (last10.txt). FEEDBACK WANTED! Likes/dislikes/modification requests all gladly accepted! Please DO NOT contact me via IM or PM about this hack. Post your problem/question here and I will try to help you.

Tubedogg,
great hack!! I finally got it to work. (was having netscape troubles, but it seems to be cool now.) I do have a question/suggestion. I noticed that you gave us the option of having the table header color be different than the alt 1 and alt 2 columns. I changed the text in the table header be a different color than the text within the rest of the table. I defined another variable in last10config.php: $htc = "#FFFFFF";// head text color Then in last10.php I simply changed the font color (for the header fonts to: color:$htc; worked like a charm. Thanks Kevin. p.s. I also changed (in last10.php) $fs .= "pt"; $hfs .= "pt"; to $fs .= "px"; $hfs .= "px"; so it works better in netscape. |

Ok, I tested this and it worked great (see above post) and when I went to put it into my home page, I go a weird output (like it isn't reading the font tags)
Here is the page (it is a test page) http://www.curvemag.com/index2.html What happens is that if I put the include in the right hand column, it doesn't work properly, but anywhere else on the page, it works great. p.s. it "works" in both places, just the styles don't work in the right hand column. The text in question says: "Join the conversation thread one thread two thread three" (I changed some of the language to suit our site.) Can anyone explain what is wrong in my html that is making this happen in the right hand column? Please? |

Just to let whoever is interested know: for whatever reason, it was stuff about the column that effected this formatting problem.
<td valign="top" height="215" width="147"> The column was defined with a width of 147, which the script didn't like. It output weird formatting of the text in Netscape on a mac. Eventually, I figured out a solution, weird as it may be - was to change the width attribute by a few numbers, and it worked. I had tried this also on another page, and the wisth of 147 was the problem. Perhaps the numbers didn't add up... I donno. It's a weird thing, but it is now solved, by using: <td valign="top" height="215" width="150"> That in combination with removing a <nobr> in line 226 of last10.php fixed it. |

I've been trying for short while today to get this script working using the <!--#include file="last10.php"--> call from within an SSI file on Windows 2000 Server / IIS 5. All this does is inserts the text of the last10.php script directly into the SSI file, instead of parsing the php script first. I read this entire thread looking for a solution to this, but only found that other people using Win2k / IIS5 were having similar problems.
I did finally figure it out, though. This is what worked for me, instead of using <!--#include file="last10.php"--> to call the script I'm using <!--#exec cgi="last10.php"--> & it is working fine now. Tubedog, I haven't had a chance to really play around with this script but it does look like it will be very useful - thanks in advance! You may also want to add a note for Win2k / IIS 5 users in your installation directions about the <!--#exec cgi="last10.php"--> command as there seems to be a number of other people who have this similar problem. Best, - John |

It's great dude.. easy to setup.
Only problem is.. sometimes people might want a different text colour for the heading.. may I suggest a heading text colour param. That and a cellspacing one, because... I didn't want a HUGE gap between my posts and had to edit the last10.php file. So yes, thanks heaps... mine's at http://www.buffydownunder.com Cheers. |

Well, I am reinstalling this hack since i recently upgraded.
I am going to be using this hack on its own page, rather than included in a small portion of an existing page. Can anyone tell me how to get this to utilize a users chosen style set? |

I installed the last10.php easily and it works. But, there seems to be a problem when an unregistered user posts a reply to a new discussion.
When the new thread has been submitted, it appears on the front page. When an unregistered user replies to that thread, then the link disappears from the front page. Using it on this site : http://www.bbfc.org.uk/ Regards, Jamie. |
