Someone how can recomend any mods for the SMF forum?

I’am looking for a mod that can list the 10 last forum post in the front of my website, like this: http://www.euroharmony.com/site/main.php (scroll down to Latest Forum Messanges)

As far as i know that isn’t an SMF forum mod, but they coded it so that it would show up on the homepage.

Cheers

If any of you know how or can you point me in the right direction, I would have been very grateful.

Here you go ->

<?php
      require_once('SSI.php'); 
        $data = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, 
        $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'array');
              foreach($data as $post) 
                  {
                    print $post['link'] . ' ' . $post['poster']['link'] . '<br />';
                  }
?>

You will have to adjust your path to SSI.php for your server. Also this only returns the post title and the screen name of the poster. There is a lot of data that comes back in the $data array that you can echo with this piece of code. You can find all the data variables in the smf support forums, the “recent = 8” determines how many topics the script returns. This is working in a live environment for me, I am just working on making it display nicely.

You can see what this returns on my board here ->

goran - Here is a good link that details all the ssi.php functions in smf. Has been a time saver since I found it.

I have a new test page that prints all the functions on my site now, check it out.

Still trying to figure out how to get the data into tables and such…

---- EDIT - 8/31 ----

I have it working on the main page of the site here -

Let me know if you need help.

Yes, you’d use the SSI function in combination with the registration module - just replace the phpBB specific code with the ones from the SSI
