Topic: Where to select boardnews?

[Mick.]

Im going out of my mind,..... i cannot find where in admin to select what board should be "boardnews".

Where is it?

[Kays]

Is this ssi_BoardNews?

[Mick.]

Is this ssi_BoardNews?

Yes.

[Kays]

Where or how are you displaying it?

[Mick.]

Im testing things out to learn more about the ssi function.


I created a test page:
http://www.chevyavalancheclub.com/av_registry.php

..and it has this in it but i want to show a different board.

Code: [Select]

<?php require("/home/*******/public_html/SSI.php"); ?>
<?php template_header(); ?>

<?php ssi_boardNews(); ?>

<?php template_footer(); ?>

...also, is not grabbin' the meta tags.  The page has no title.

OK, so you're just messing around with it. Cool.

ssi_BoardNews, like most ssi functions has a number of parameters which can be passed to change to output.

Code: [Select]

ssi_boardNews($board = null, $limit = null, $start = null, $length = null, $output_method = 'echo')
If you output it as an array then you gain more flexibility in how it's displayed.

For the page title $context['page_title_html_safe'] = 'My Fantastic Site';

Also there's no need to use multiple php tags. One </php at the top of the page and ?> at the bottom to close it is enough.

[Mick.]

Excellent.  The title so far worked.  Im messing with the ssi now.

Good, Here's some info on outputting as an array.

Oooooooooo, thank you.  Great link.

Looks like that will keep you busy for a while.

I'll move this into SMF Coding Discussion as that's where this belongs.

Thank you.

Just wondering how do i go by adding search engine meta tags.

Will it be like this?

Code: [Select]

$context['meta_keywords']
or perhaps i dont need it?

[Arantor]

Are you using template_header()?

[Mick.]

Are you using template_header()?

Yep.

[Arantor]

Then set $context['meta_keywords'] after including SSI.php but before calling template_header().
