So, I've been trying to do this latest posts sidebox for my forums, and I managed to pull it out, but I want to show the poster avatar also, so doing some research through the forums, I find this edit for the 'ssi_recentTopics' function, which lets you get the poster avatar, and it works flawless but just with ssi_recentTopics, and I want it to work with ssi_recentPosts.
So, this is the function I'm using for ssi_recentTopics, edited by Joker™

this is my "latest posts code":
require_once("SSI.php");
$PostList = ssi_recentPosts(8, null, null, 'array');
foreach ($PostList as $Post) {
echo '
<div class="customLatestPosts">';
echo '
<div id="latestPostAvatar">
<p class="avatar">', $Post['poster']['avatar']['image'], '</p></div>';
echo '
<div id="latestPostsUser">
<a target="_blank" href=', $Post['poster']['href'], '>', $Post['poster']['name'], '</a></div>',
'<div id="latestPostsSubject"><a target="_blank" href=', $Post['href'], '>', $Post['subject'], '</a></div>',
'<div id="latestPostsTime">',$Post['time'],'</div></div>';
}
It doens't change the avatar, but if i change this line : "$PostList = ssi_recentPosts(8, null, null, 'array');" to "$PostList = ssi_recentTopics(8, null, null, 'array');", it does obviously it shows topics instead of posts.
:) I wish someone could help me, I'll share my "latest post" after this in case of anybody needing it.
also here's my ssi_recentPosts funcion which is the def one in 2.0.4
function ssi_recentPosts($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo', $limit_body = true)
{
global $context, $settings, $scripturl, $txt, $db_prefix, $user_info;
global $modSettings, $smcFunc;
// Excluding certain boards...
if ($exclude_boards === null && !empty($modSettings['recycle_enable']) && $modSettings['recycle_board'] > 0)
$exclude_boards = array($modSettings['recycle_board']);
else
$exclude_boards = empty($exclude_boards) ? array() : (is_array($exclude_boards) ? $exclude_boards : array($exclude_boards));
// What about including certain boards - note we do some protection here as pre-2.0 didn't have this parameter.
if (is_array($include_boards) || (int) $include_boards === $include_boards)
{
$include_boards = is_array($include_boards) ? $include_boards : array($include_boards);
}
elseif ($include_boards != null)
{
$include_boards = array();
}
// Let's restrict the query boys (and girls)
$query_where = '
m.id_msg >= {int:min_message_id}
' . (empty($exclude_boards) ? '' : '
AND b.id_board NOT IN ({array_int:exclude_boards})') . '
' . ($include_boards === null ? '' : '
AND b.id_board IN ({array_int:include_boards})') . '
AND {query_wanna_see_board}' . ($modSettings['postmod_active'] ? '
AND m.approved = {int:is_approved}' : '');
$query_where_params = array(
'is_approved' => 1,
'include_boards' => $include_boards === null ? '' : $include_boards,
'exclude_boards' => empty($exclude_boards) ? '' : $exclude_boards,
'min_message_id' => $modSettings['maxMsgID'] - 25 * min($num_recent, 5),
);
// Past to this simpleton of a function...
return ssi_queryPosts($query_where, $query_where_params, $num_recent, 'm.id_msg DESC', $output_method, $limit_body);
}
Any solution for this :(?
:) A little help please, Still stuck at this
bump! :)
Hmm it seems like 'ssi_recentPosts' makes use of 'ssi_queryPosts' to pull out the recent posts. Make the following edits in 'ssi_queryPosts' to get user avatars
