Display Last 5 Phorum Posts -script

Each link to the mod on Page 1 of the thread except for the one offered by sts includes something like

"$count = 40; //words per message for body to show"

and something to truncate it with "..."

oops.. maybe i got this from another thread originally.. sorry.

No, it's okay, adding $row[body] displays the messages, but I don't know how to properly truncate it without getting an error message instead. I had tried using something from the original mod, but I got a message saying 'unexpected $', and when I tried to take out a part, it said 'bad arguments'. Heh, still fiddling.

here's another go..

Ah, sweet! One more question. If I wanted to remove the break tags that show up from when a person has gone down a few lines in their posts, so that it's one block of text (with the spaces still in), would

if ($PHORUM[mods][bbcode] ==1){
$row[body] = preg_replace( "|</*[a-z][^>]*>|i", "", $row[body]);
$row[body] = preg_replace( "|[/*[a-z][^\]]*\]|i", "", $row[body]);
}

be what I need to modify? Or no? I didn't know if altering the bbcode thing in the mod may do anything.

i wouldn't touch the mod.

$row[body]=str_replace("<br />"," ",$row[body]);

within.
