Try this.

<?php $posts = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 10, $exclude_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo'); 
 
echo ' <table border="0" class="ssi_table">';
foreach ($posts as $post)
echo '
<tr>

<td valign="top">


<a href="', $post['href'], '">', $post['subject'], '</a>

', $post['new'] ? '' : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $post['topic'] . '.msg' . $post['new_from'] . ';topicseen#new"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt[302] . '" border="0" /></a>','

I´m getting this warning wwhen I use the code above:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in line 58
And the text in line 58 is: foreach ($posts as $post)

[JayBachatero]

$posts = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 10, $exclude_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo');  change to $posts = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 10, $exclude_boards = null, $output_method = 'array');

[mama]

thanks for the help, it works great. =)

I noticed now when I saw new post coming in, if I can place numbers of replies between link and date?

[JayBachatero]

I was looking ang couldn't find nothing about this.  With a few changes to SSI.php.  Also use this snippet it prints out the stuff more cleaner

$posts = ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 10, $exclude_boards = null, $output_method = 'array');

foreach ($posts as $post)
        {
echo '
<tr>
<td valign="top">
                                        <a href="', $post['href'], '">', $post['subject'], '</a>', $post['new'] ? '' : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $post['topic'] . '.msg' . $post['new_from'] . ';topicseen#new"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt[302] . '" border="0" /></a>','

    echo '

?>


If you want to see other stuff that you can do just put this before ?>
echo '<pre>';
print_r($posts);
echo '</pre>';

My post over was some typing error.
I meant: If someone post a new post on "recenttopic" I get an image(new.gif) to tell me that someone have posted. But I wonder if I can place a "number of replies" in the middle(between topic and date).

Now I tested to place those code you showed me and I get this:

Code Select Expand

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [board] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 7
                    [name] => Nyheter
                    [href] => forum/index.php?board=7.0
                    [link] => Nyheter
                )

            [topic] => 19
            [poster] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 1
                    [name] => mattias
                    [href] => forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1
                    [link] => mattias
                )

            [subject] => mupp nyhet4
            [short_subject] => mupp nyhet4
            [preview] => Well, this doesn't seem like true ssi to me anyway, mainly just importing functions from the board to other aspects of a si...
            [time] => 23 jan 2006, 01:51
            [timestamp] => 1137977506
            [href] => forum/index.php?topic=19.msg27;topicseen#new
            [link] => mupp nyhet4
            [new] => 1
            [new_from] => 0
            [icon] => xx
        )

and it continues

I´m using smf 1.1 rc2.

[mama]

I´m starting to understand what you wrote. =)
That information I got when I used your "snippet" is what code I can use with my board, but I didn´t see anything about the replies number.

[JayBachatero]

Yes exactly it shows you extra stuff.  Like I stated it doesn't show number of replies. 

[mama]

If I understand it correctly there is no code/mod to show replies. But if I want replies number, is it hard to do? (I have very little php knowledge)

[JayBachatero]

Yea there is no way to do this unless you modify SSI.php to do so.  I'm not sure how hard this would be to do.

-JayBachatero

[mama]

ok, thanks for this info.
I hope, showing the replies, will come to smf 1.1 rc3.

[JayBachatero]

Well there won't be more feature addition to the 1.1 Line.  The next release will be 1.1 Final.  If you want you can make it a feature request for the next version of SMF.

[mama]

I will do a request about this very important thing.
