SSI recentTopics... how to show just the topic name?

(1/3) > >>

distante:
I'm thinking that the only way to show JUST the topic name without the board and poster name when I'm using the recentTopics SSI function is to made a new function...

but maybe I'm wrong, can anyone point me in the rigth direction?

Thanks!

Ricky.:
You can do as follow:

--- Code: ---$temp = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'array');
--- End code ---
Now $temp will hold all stuff in array, you can choose what you want to display and how to display .

Thank you ricky for your help

I managed to show the topics in this way (looking in the final example in the ssi_examples page)

--- Code: ---<?php
require("../foro/SSI.php");

$topics = ssi_recentTopics(5, null, null, 'array');
foreach ($topics as $topic) {
echo ' <li><a href=\"', $topic['href'], '\">', $topic['subject'], '</a></li>';
}
unset($topics); ?>
--- End code ---

But for some reason the last topic isn't showed, look:

I don't understand why :\

Ricky.:
Not sure, may be you can see print_r($topics) ; to verify what you are receiving.
Also, you don't need to escape double quote if used inside single quotes in echo ..

ie.

--- Code: ---echo ' <li><a href="', $topic['href'], '">', $topic['subject'], '</a></li>';
--- End code ---

Oh you're rigth, I just copied the example in the ssi_examples with the escaped "

well I did the print_r and the subject of the last topic is empty... I don't know why

I performed a database maintenance in the admin panel, empty the cache, look for errors and still doesn't work =\

I even tried to fix the database in my Cpanel (but no errors where found)

If I use only the ssi_recentTopics() function, it shows me everything except the last topic title...
