[WIDGET] Recent Threads · **Released**: 02-19-2010

In an attempt at mirroring an old ASP website I used to have, I modified the recent threads display to show a bit more information in a bit more compressed format.

Feel free to use/hack/slash this code for your own needs...

Navigate to AdminCP -> CMS -> Widgets.
Create a PHP Type Widget and paste the below code.

READ BELOW THE CODE FOR AN UPDATE

PHP Code:


			
ob_start();

global $vbulletin, $db;

//Begin Thread Counts 

$toutput=''; 

$recent_threads = $vbulletin->db->query_read(" 

SELECT thread.threadid, thread.title, thread.dateline, thread.lastpost, thread.lastposter, thread.lastposterid, thread.visible, thread.open, thread.postusername, thread.postuserid, thread.replycount, thread.views, forum.forumid, forum.title as forumtitle

FROM  " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread 

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

WHERE NOT ISNULL(threadid) AND visible = '1' AND open!='10' 

ORDER BY lastpost DESC 

LIMIT 0, 10 

"); 

$i = 0; 

while ($recent_thread = $db->fetch_array($recent_threads)) 

{ 

$i++;

if (!in_array($recent_thread[forumid], array(105,83,121,110,82,112,109,101,102,72))) { 

if ($i & 1) {$class='alt1';} else {$class='alt2';} 

$recent_thread[title] = unhtmlspecialchars($recent_thread[title]); 

$recent_thread[lastpostdate] = vbdate('M jS', $recent_thread[lastpost], 1); 

$recent_thread[lastposttime] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $recent_thread[lastpost]); 

$toutput .='<tr><td class="'.$class.'" align="left"><b><font color="#98B5E2" size="1" face="verdana,arial"><a href="showthread.php?t='.    $recent_thread[threadid].'">'.    $recent_thread[title].'</a></font></b><br/>'; 

$toutput .='<b><span style="color: #E1E1E2"><font size="1" face="verdana,arial">Last Post By: <a href="member.php?u='.$recent_thread[lastposterid].'">'.$recent_thread[lastposter].'</a></font><br/></span></b>'; 

$toutput .='<font size="1" face="verdana,arial">Forum: <a href="forumdisplay.php?f='.$recent_thread[forumid].'">'.$recent_thread[forumtitle].'</a> | Replies: '.$recent_thread[replycount].'</font><br/>'; 

$toutput .='<font size="1" face="verdana,arial">Posted: <strong>'.$recent_thread[lastpostdate].'</strong> at: <strong>'.    $recent_thread[lastposttime].'</strong></font><hr/></td></tr>'; 

} 

}

//End Thread Counts 



//Sidebar - Begin Forum Threads

$sb_threads = '

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="'.$stylevar[cellpadding].'" cellspacing="'.$stylevar[cellspacing].'" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> <thead> <tr> <td class="tcat"></td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <div class="smallfont"> <tr> <td>

'.$toutput.'

</td> </tr> </div> </tbody> </table>

';

//Sidebar - End Forum Threads

echo $sb_threads;

$db->free_result($recent_threads);

$output=ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

Be SURE to update the following line:if (!in_array($recent_thread[forumid], array(105,83,121,110,82,112,109,101,102,72))), to group the forumids you wish to NOT have included in the query results.

Is this working in vB4.1.2?
And if it is did it work out of the box or are there changes required?

Thanks....

Videx · #**113** 03-17-2011, 02:14 PM

Mine still seems to be working after updating to 4.1.2. But let us know. Be sure to read the entire thread before you install it so you understand the later changes.

Change:

$recent_thread[threadid].'&goto=newpost">'

I have tested this, but it doesn't work for me (vB4.1.2). It goes to the page of the last post, but always on the top of the page. The link in the widget is

Code:

http://www.mydomain.com/forumo/showthread.php?t=7829&goto=newpost

and then redirects to

Code:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7829&p=316642

instead

Code:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7829&p=316642#post316642
or
http://www.mydomain.com/forum/showthread.php?p=316642#post316642

I have tried to add the correct address... but no one of my tests have work. Does anyone have any idea to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards!!!

In a widget? That makes no sense. A single post could fill the whole box.

But if you're really determined, I bet you could edit the code to do that.

How do I change the color of "last post by" ?

vB already has a widget for recent post ... in vB 4x anyway.

claystation · #**119** 08-01-2011, 09:19 PM

This is very nice, I am not a php programmer so I am looking of some help with how I might make it so only the threads show up with no reply posts. I am trying to create a widget that contains only unanswered posts.

Thanks

Unless I'm mistaken, this thread is about a "recent threads" widget. Be careful though, as I think there are better versions than the one in the first post.
