Last X Threads From A Particular Forum On Non-VB Page

Hi everyone,

By request, I have released this script which will display the last X number of thread titles from a specified forum. It will only show the thread starter so the thread doesn't look like it was started from a commenter or visitor.

Well, pictures are worth a thousand words so here's a screenshot:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions:

1) Download the script (of course).
2) Change the settings in the script.
3) Use include("/path/to/lastthreads3.php"); in your PHP page.

That's it! Enjoy.

Nothing but a blank page :\

The Author(s) agreed to give support for this modification!

I haven't seen anything from the author in here since the first post 5 months ago.

I'm looking for a way to display more than one forums as well.

Anyone solved the problem?

what version of vB3 does it work on and which versions does it not work on

[dfmafia]

well looky there...

at:

PHP Code:

$forum_id = "3"; // If you wish to display the posts from a specific forum, enter the forum id here. Otherwise, leave it blank. 


it will only work out correctly if u input 1 forum_id - when i entered in only the forums i wanted t show up (about 20 of them) i get:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxx/public_html/lastthreads3.php on line 41

if i just enter in 1 forum id it works great

this is fior both the scripts the author made

lastposts3.php and lastthreads3.php

Can someone update this so that it will show multiple forums and not just one?

I know you can use external.php to do the same thing, but it's much more convenient to use this script and it's easier to customize the colors and look. I'm using it now and like it, but would prefer it if I could show threads from several different forums.

can you just double up the row?

PHP Code:

$forum_id = "3"; // If you wish to display the posts from a specific forum, enter the forum id here. Otherwise, leave it blank. 
$forum_id = "4"; // If you wish to display the posts from a specific forum, enter the forum id here. Otherwise, leave it blank. 
$forum_id = "5"; // If you wish to display the posts from a specific forum, enter the forum id here. Otherwise, leave it blank.

Nope it picks the last number... I dont think you can use more then one forum on this script... Its a wonderful script but thats the problem...

Easy - find the following code:

if ($forum_id) {
	$forumid = "AND forumid=$forum_id";
}

and replace it with

if ($forum_id) {
	$forumid = "AND forumid!=$forum_id AND forumid!=$forum_id2";
}

Now below the $forum_id variable at the top of the script, add

$forum_id2 = "FORUM YOU WANT POSTS FROM";

You can repeat this for more forums, adding an extra variable and SQL statement for each. Quite an untidy compromise, but it works!
