SSI within BoardIndex

[mark7144]

Hi,

I'd like to display the latest news headline at the top of the BoardIndex using SSI but everytime I try and put the code in it breaks with a parse error.

BoardIndex Code:       

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Show some statistics next to the link tree if SP1 info is off.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr> <td valign="bottom">', theme_linktree(), ' ', !!!! headline here !!!!, '</td>

<td align="right">';
if (!$settings['show_sp1_info'])

Code to be implemented:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<?php
$array = ssi_recentTopics(1, array(1, 6, 14, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 20, 22, 23, 24, 'array');

foreach ($array as $recent)
{
  $subject = html_entity_decode($recent['subject']);
  if (strlen($subject) > 9)
    $subject = htmlentities(substr($subject, 0, 40)) . '';
  else
    $subject = $recent['subject'];
echo '
- <a href="', $recent['href'], '" >
', $subject, '
', $recent['new'] ? '' : '<img src="http://www.murraysworld.com/img/new-recent.gif" border="0" />', '
</a><br/>';
}

?>

I also tried implementing it using an include but that seemed to do nothing.

Did you include('SSI.php'); in the template as well?

Did you include('SSI.php'); in the template as well?

Where do I put that and in what file?

And is there no path like your code above?

[bloc]

At the top of BoardIndex.template..and its normally enough to do that, but some servers require a full path to the SSI.php file. Try both.

Thanks I did that but it seems I can't get any php include to work properly for where i want the headline.

For example:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="bottom">', theme_linktree(), ' ', include('test2.php'), '</td>
<td align="right">';
if (!$settings['show_sp1_info'])

test2.php contains:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<?
echo 'moo';
?>

The template doesn't break but it acts as if there is no include.

Try this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="bottom">', theme_linktree();
include('test2.php');
echo '</td>
<td align="right">';

Thanks that worked but I just realised I should of put test2.php in the /messageboard/ dir not themes so that was my fault.

Now I need to see if I can get this SSI to work...

Yep, thats correct..you need to have your files inside forum folder, not Themes folder. SSI.php is also there, hence the lack of path.
