Use of new flags in module

Thank you very much, for and trying to create a module, but my skills are insufficient. and do not wish to create something unstable.
attempt to create the module based on an example.

I work, but I can not understand the system of "flags" to highlight in bold the post that are not yet seen.

Also I would like to understand, because I have several ideas and eager to learn the internal system phorum.

Thanks.

Language: PHP
<?php
 
// This module demonstrates the use of multiple hooks in a single module.
 
if(!defined("PHORUM")) return;
 
function phorum_mod_example_multiplehooks_after_header () {
 
global $PHORUM;
 
 print "<b>Ultimos Mensjes </b><br />";
 
$mensajes = phorum_db_get_recent_messages(6,0,0,0,LIST_RECENT_MESSAGES);
unset($mensajes[';users';]); //
#print_r($mensajes);

 
foreach($mensajes as $id => $data){
	#echo print_r($data)." => ".$id."<br />";
	$id_mensaje = $data[';message_id';];
	$id_autor = $data[';user_id';];
	$id_forum = $data[';forum_id';];
	$id_thread = $data[';thread';];
	$autor = $data[';author';];
	$titulo = $data[';subject';];
 
 
#print_r(phorum_db_newflag_get_flags($id_forum));

  $url = phorum_get_url(PHORUM_FOREIGN_READ_URL, $id_forum, $id_thread, $id_mensaje); 
   $url_autor = phorum_get_url(PHORUM_PROFILE_URL, $id_autor);
?>
 
 
<td><h4><a href="<?=$url;?>"><?=$titulo;?></a></h4>
</td><td class="author" align="left"><a href="<?=$url_autor;?>"> 
<?=$autor;?>
</a><br /><? #LA HORA ; ?></td>
 
</tr>
<?	
 
 
}//end foreach
 
 
 
}
 
 
 
 
?>

Edit Maurice: split off as a separate thread from the recent messages module thread, because it has no relation to the recent messages module.

The flags are not an easy concept at all. If you want to read code that implements them, then check out include/api/newflags.php. Applying newflags can be handled by that API layer script. I would advise using this API: phorum_api_newflags_format_messages()

The recent messages module was written before the newflags API was created. If you look at the code for that module (recent_messages.php), you can find an implementation without using the newflags API. While that can be an interesting exercise, using the provided newflags API will be more future proof.

Works!
It works!.
But as I can modify the template without the need to edit the php?.

<?php

// This module demonstrates the use of multiple hooks in a single module.

if(!defined("PHORUM")) return;

function phorum_mod_example_multiplehooks_after_header () {
 
global $PHORUM;
require_once('./include/api/newflags.php');
 print "<b>Ultimos Mensjes </b><br />";

$mensajes = phorum_db_get_recent_messages(6,0,0,0,LIST_RECENT_MESSAGES);
$mensajes = phorum_api_newflags_format_messages($mensajes);
#print_r($data);
unset($mensajes['users']); //
#print_r($mensajes);

#    if ($PHORUM["DATA"]["LOGGEDIN"]){	
#	}


?>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" class="list">
<tr>
<th width="1%">&nbsp;</th>
<th align="left" width="80%">Subject</th>
<th align="left" width="19%" nowrap="nowrap">Author</th>
</tr>

<? foreach($mensajes as $id => $data){
	#echo print_r($data)." => ".$id."<br />";
	$id_mensaje = $data['message_id'];
	$id_autor = $data['user_id'];
	$id_forum = $data['forum_id'];
	$id_thread = $data['thread'];
	$autor = $data['author'];
	$titulo = $data['subject'];


  $url = phorum_get_url(PHORUM_FOREIGN_READ_URL, $id_forum, $id_thread, $id_mensaje); 
   $url_autor = phorum_get_url(PHORUM_PROFILE_URL, $id_autor);
?>




<tr style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, serif;">
<td align="center"  >
</td>



<?
if (isset($data['new']) && $data['new'] == 'new'){
	$titulo = "<b>".$titulo."</b>"."<span class=\"new-flag\"> new</span>";
}

?>
<td><h4><a href="<?=$url;?>"><?=$titulo;?></a></h4>
</td><td align="left"><a  style="font-size:12px;" href="<?=$url_autor;?>"> 
<?=$autor;?>
</a><br /><? #LA HORA ; ?></td>

</tr>








<?	




}//end foreach

?>


<tr class="footer"><th colspan="4">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </th></tr></table>

<?

#print_r($mensajes['8593']);

}

/*
function phorum_mod_example_multiplehooks_before_footer () {
    print "World!";
}
*/



?>

I don't understand your question, sorry.

ok!.
I do not understand how to modify the template.
to contain the css and html.

because the module has to contain only php. this is correct?.

to enter this, but in a tpl file

<td><h4><a href="<?=$url;?>"><?=$titulo;?></a></h4>
</td><td align="left"><a  style="font-size:12px;" href="<?=$url_autor;?>"> 
<?=$autor;?>
</a><br /><? #LA HORA ; ?></td

If you want to write an after_header hook that outputs the data this way, then this is fine. Normally, we separate the HTML into a module template though.

Take a look at some other modules to see how module templates work. In general, the module can contain its own templates under mods/yourmod/templates/emerald/something.tpl, after which it can be loaded from the after_header hook using include phorum_get_template("yourmod::something")

Thanks.
Do not think it necessary to create a tpl file.
Is fully completed.
