Last X topics (and no posts)

Now it works.......but the link URL is wrong.

The link I get is like this:

http://www.exsampel.com/read.php?1,22,28#28

instead of

http://www.exsampel.com/phorum/read.php?1,22,28#28

And it writs #28 instead of #msg-28 ?

Another thing:

If I want to show the 2 last posts, how is this don.
I tried something like this:


echo $p[0]['author']." wrote about ".$p[0]['subject']." at ".$p[0]['datestamp']."";
echo "<p>".$p[0]['body']."</p>";

echo $p[1]['author']." wrote about ".$p[1]['subject']." at ".$p[1]['datestamp']."";
echo "<p>".$p[1]['body']."</p>";

But this doesn’t give me the 2 last post, only the last poste and another post!

Hope you can help me again. :-)

Hhhm, after loosing some of data I have to reisntall this with my smarty. I am backstepping all of it now but get this error:

Didn't you get more info than this? I would expect more info about the error after "datestamp desc limi" in the part you pasted, e.g. the full query that was executed.

Nope thats just it....no error log......beats me. I checked, I filled in the database values also correctly....

Ok, I noticed that all the version in this thread use some ancient code and I have since cleaned it up little.

So I updated the code, added some documentation and examples so it should be maybe a little easier for newbies and civilians to understand. it even should output something if db settings are correct.

Attached is the latest version...

Ha ha ha ha, after the same error I got it running. Die you mother....... I nailed you.

Ok, after drinking 2 cans of Dr. Pepper I woke and did this:
Leave all fields blank but just put this above:
include_once ("common.php");

I tried it without the common and just putting the dbase fields in there but that didnt work for some strange Twilight Zone reason.

Anyways Panu, as Wayne said. I am not worthy.....hmmmm, let me create an avatar of that.

Cheers mate you made my day.

edit: ok, it was a db problem...

$host = $PHORUM[DBCONFIG][localhost];
$dbuser = $PHORUM[DBCONFIG][myusername];
$dbpass = $PHORUM[DBCONFIG][mepassword];
$dbname = $PHORUM[DBCONFIG][medbasename];

this should be something like:

$host = "localhost";
$dbuser = "yourusername";
$dbpass = "yourpassword";
$dbname = "yourdb";

And it's weird that the sql error message is cut...

replace the corresponding lines in the script with this:

$select_db = mysql_select_db($dbname, $con); 
$t_query = "select * from ".$table." where parent_id = 0 and status = 2 order by datestamp desc limit ".$number;
echo "<br/>".$t_query."<br/>";
$result = mysql_query($t_query) or die("Failed Query of " . $result. mysql_error());

Long time no update.

After reading recent mysql.php I noticed modifystamp is used with message table. Out of curiosity I changed datestamp to modifystamp to see if it would solve my old problem of getting the latest message from the most recent (updated) threads.

And it seems to work.

So I changed this add-on to reflect that and updated the documentation a little too.

Note! I'm not sure when the modifystamp was added or if it was there all along, maybe I was just too blind to notice it earlier, I'm not even sure if it works as I imagine it does. Seems to work for my purposes currently anyway.

Panu, do you get a Session ID as well behind the normal Phorum links?
