Recent posts user preference

[JaGuR123]

if a user chooses the Topic view (Only show the last reply of a thread) option and tries to enter a forum an internal server error occurs.  turn off the topic view option and everything works great again.

What is this option supposed to actually do , as i don't think it is working on my forum,  it doesn't make any difference to anything on my forum whether it is checked or not 

Also is there a way to get rid of the "re:" in front of the topic subject in recentPosts dispay ?

edit: Never mind , only works in topic/pref blocks , and it fixed everything i was wanting it to fix , i am a little slow , but i get there in the end

I am using it in my profile.template.php and  Changed this code so it defaults to topic view instead of Post view, i also added and renamed the ssi functions to profile.template.php so i could change the display 

Code Select Expand

function ssi_recentPostsPrefb()
{
global $context;
if ($context['user']['recentPosts']['lastOnly'] == 1)
ssi_recentPostsb($context['user']['recentPosts']['nrofPosts'], null, 'echo', $context['user']['recentPosts']['boards']);
else
ssi_recentTopicsb($context['user']['recentPosts']['nrofPosts'], null, 'echo', $context['user']['recentPosts']['boards']);
}

[JaGuR123]

This

Code Select Expand

ssi_recentPostsPref( null, null, 'echo', null, $context['member']['id']);

and  this

Code Select Expand

ssi_recentPostsPref( null, null, 'echo', null, 2);

isn't displaying the posts or topics of that user, just keeps displaying the user that is logged in 

If i use this it works, by displaying the recent posts of the user's profile i have just clicked on 

Code Select Expand

ssi_recentPosts($context['user']['recentPosts']['nrofPosts'], null, 'echo', null, $context['member']['id']);

but if i try to just get the topic display using this

Code Select Expand

ssi_recentTopics($context['user']['recentPosts']['nrofPosts'], null, 'echo', null, $context['member']['id']);

it doesn't work either

I would just love to have the ssi_recentTopics to only display the $context['member']['id'] for the user that i clicked profile for

JaGuR123, i think you should use the function like this if you want to display it in the profiles template:

Code Select Expand

ssi_recentPostsPref(5,null,'echo',null,(int) isset($_REQUEST['u']) ? $_REQUEST['u'] : null );

this will display the last 5 posts OR topics (depending on the user's preference). you can change it to display only topics like this:

Code Select Expand

ssi_recentPostsPref(5,null,'echo',2,(int) isset($_REQUEST['u']) ? $_REQUEST['u'] : null );

as you can see there is no need anymore to use the other functions :-)

@zeitwort: I'm going to release a new version with a setting to display topics by default.

@NEMINI: I just can't figure out what it is. Please uninstall the mod and call ssi_recentTopics(); in your index.template instead, to find out if the same thing happens.

edit An update is released which fixes the error messages and adds a new setting for the boardindex. For now it's only the English version because I can't use the new package format yet which allows for translations.

This is from a fresh installation!

I have no choice in the ACP - only "Use recent topics mode instead on board index" in "Themes and Settings".

Okay tried that.  worked fine.  Then i redownloaded the latest version (did you make changes and not change version numbers? confused by your  update announcement) and reinstalled it.  Now with the topic option under profile checked I no longer get an internal server error however it does attempt to load the entire website in the block rather then just go to the forum.  That probably doesn't make sense so you can either try it yourself still with that test account or maybe this screenshot will help.

Yep, i added the option only to the theme settings. It wouldn't make sense adding it anywhere else since you would have to edit files manually anyway to add the ssi_recentPostsPref() function. The index errors are fixed once again, redownload the package please :-)

Works like it should for me now (also for anonymous users)... I didn't change anything in the package that would cause it to act different though.

About update policy: I only up the version number when new features are added or when big changes are made. For small bug fixes i will just overwrite the current version.

[NEMINI]

still not working for me.  even logged in as the test user.  test user did not have the topic view option checked though when i first logged in as it so i checked it and then it stopped working.

thank you for your help so far and sorry to be such a pain

This mod evolved into something it wasn't originally intended to be, and I must admit that i hacked in some of the features without proper knowledge of parts of SMF ;-).

Anyways, i think i got your problem fixed, please test the attached package :-)

I keep getting this error when I try and use 'Current Theme or Themes and Layout' on the admin menu.

Every thing else works OK.

If I uninstall the MOD it works OK.

edit BoardIndex.php in the Sources dir.

change:

Code Select Expand

require_once('SSI.php');

with:

Code Select Expand

require_once($sourcedir . '/Recent.php');

and

Code Select Expand

ssi_recentPostsPref(
isset($context['user']['recentPosts']['nrofPosts']) && $modSettings['userprefsMode'] == 1 ? null : $settings['number_recent_posts'],
null,
'array',
$context['user']['recentPosts']['lastOnly'] != 'NULL' ? $context['user']['recentPosts']['lastOnly'] : (
isset($settings['mode_recent']) && $settings['mode_recent'] == 1 ? '2' : null),
null
);

with:

Code Select Expand

getLastPosts($settings['number_recent_posts'])

This will ignore all preferences though.

thanks!
works
all good
