That can be a great picture (flash) mode, needs improvement

[Neverhurry]

When I used molyx board i loved this mod, or function. It can show the latest pictures from your forum attachment pictures (you can set numbers, e.g, 3, 5, or any number) in a flash way, very beautiful and i should emphasize, very USEFUL.

But i don't know smf well enough, i am very new to it. I attach the flash_pic.php here, you can see, that in molyx, they use the term "forum" instead of "board", etc, e.g. http://www.cinask.com/index.php?forumid=5 in molyx board become http://www.cinask.com/index.php?board=50.0. And many other differents. If you know smf database better, maybe together we can improve this to fit smf.

Well, I'm not much of a "hardcore" programmer, but I think this function/mod was written for PHP 5, but it needs to be for at least 4.1.0 as that is part of the system requirements for SMF.

you mean the code above is too old?

[tyty1234]

It's not old, it's just that the code looks like it was coded for PHP 5 since for the fact you have classes and vars there.

EDIT: just realized my previous post was worded wrong. xD

[Neverhurry]

Ok, but what do you think is it difficult to make it fit smf's php4?

[tyty1234]

Well, I haven't used any functions that are associated with PHP 5, so I'm not sure how hard it will be to make it so that it is PHP 4...

I'll move this to the Mod Request section of the forum, as it's not really general SMF support.
