How to Add Latest Fourm Post.

[llju1]

Ok this may have been talked about some where else but I would like to add a  Module to my site that will show the latest forum post.  Such as Tom uses on his site. http://www.europeangateway.info/

Let me know if you can . I use phpbb  and smf. I will have all the members use which ever one is easiest to set up the code with.

thanks for you time.

Yeah that is a pretty cool feature that I have been wanting to mess with as well if I ever get the chance. work has me running in circles now that the farmers are finally done.

Look in the phpbb forums. There are plenty out there. I have one on my site. http://www.flyaka.com, not the best looking one. I can give it to you if you want it.

[llju1]

Yes I would like the code. thanks. ;D

[flyalaska]

Here you go http://www.flyaka.com/downloads/topics_anywhere.zip 

to display it use the code below. Edit the file to your database and place in your phpbb directory.

<?php include('forums/topics_anywhere.php'); ?>

[llju1]

Getting this Error:

Warning: include(forums/topics_anywhere.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/web06b/b338/pow.llju1/htdocs/lib/skins/VMACSkin3/frontpage_main.tpl on line 155

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'forums/topics_anywhere.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.2.2/lib/php') in /hermes/web06b/b338/pow.llju1/htdocs/lib/skins/VMACSkin3/frontpage_main.tpl on line 155

[flyalaska]

did you put the file in your forums directory?

[llju1]

Yes I did my directory was called forum rather than forums so I changed that and now get this error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /hermes/web06b/b338/pow.llju1/htdocs/forum/topics_anywhere.php on line 38

[flyalaska]

[flyalaska]

how did you do the users online?

[llju1]

Not 100% sure it was part of one of the build update

This is the code I have on my frontage;Hope it Helps.

<h3 class="style12">Users Online</h3>
<p><i>There have been <?php echo count($usersonline)?> user(s), and <?php echo count($guestsonline);?> guest(s) online in the past <?php echo Config::Get('USERS_ONLINE_TIME')?> minutes.</i></p>

<?php
/* $usersonline also has the list of users -
	really simple example

	Or if you're not on the frontpage:
	$usersonline = StatsData::UsersOnline();


foreach($usersonline as $pilot)	
{
	echo "{$pilot->firstname} {$pilot->lastname}<br />";
}
*/
?>

I know this is fixing to be a real stupid question but I must.

I have this on site and it works great.......EXCEPT,  somehow, I have it working so that when you click a recent topic, it is going to my old url http://thunderva.paranormalinsights.com

it should be going to http://thunderva.mweva.com

I have looked in local config of phpVMS and the config file in my phpBB as well and no where does it have that old url that I can find. Can you tell me where I can look that I might not have looked allready?  I have just searched for like 15 minutes to find the info and can not locate the answer.

I guess this  $config_value  is what I am referring to.

[TAV1702]

DOH! I knew it was a stupid question.  :-[

When I moved my site, I failed to go into my ACP of phpBB3 and change the cookie domain as well as domain in server settings.

[llju1]

;D Never Stupid Question here, If so then I must ask the dumbest  . I was just looking in my forum file to see what the php file said. Glad you fidxede it because I was stumped lol.

[TAV1702]

Yes it is a slick addon for sure and am glad it was given to us. I really appreciate it.

A little nip and tuck here and there to make it match my site a bit more and I will be happy as can be. 

[llju1]

Ok now a New question. How do I integrate a SMF forum the same way I did the phpBB forum? Can anyone help me. I like SMF a little better because I can update it easier  and it has a cleaner look to it.

Thanks for your time.
