it displays following error when i added that code to forums index file,

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cleanrequest() (previously declared in /homepages/9/d269191381/htdocs/ForumBollychilli/Sources/QueryString.php:95) in /homepages/9/d269191381/htdocs/bf/Sources/QueryString.php on line 93

SSI.php is part of your forum.

So, in the portal block for bf forum, you add something like:

Code Select

<?php require('/homepages/9/d269191381/htdocs/ForumBollychilli/SSI.php');
ssi_recentPosts(); ?>

Then it might work. No guarantee of at all that however.

dont i need to put something in any index.php ? i dont know which index.php the one in themes default, the one in theme i am using or the one in root folder

No, it's definitely a portal block you will need to change, nothing whatsoever to do with index.php.

Though this makes life more complex, we now get into the fun and games of using iframes :S

You need to create a new file in /homepages/9/d269191381/htdocs/ForumBollychilli/ called recentposts.php and have it contain the above code. Then you can browse to it from www.forumbollychilli.com/recentposts.php, to check it works.

Then you add an iframe to the portal block to show that on the other forum (please do a search for this, it's been covered countless times here, not to mention on numerous other sites)

check at www.forum.bollychilli.com/recentposts.php i can see posts there now can you please me what to do to see it in my another forums block ?

Arantor · December 12, 2009, 04:08:00 AM

Well, apart from the page being incorrect, due to which I assume is a space in front of the <?php in the file (has a nice big error on it)

You need to add an <iframe> tag into the portal block. As I said this has been covered many times, so a quick forum search should show you plenty of examples of how to do it.

hey bro. thanks for all your help but that error message is still there.

Arantor · December 12, 2009, 05:36:58 AM

So can you attach the file you created here so I can take a look at it then please?

yourdailysaver · December 12, 2009, 03:34:58 PM

here it is

Arantor · December 12, 2009, 03:38:36 PM

Your file is:

Code Select

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<?php require('/homepages/9/d269191381/htdocs/ForumBollychilli/SSI.php');
ssi_recentTopics();?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

That is the problem.

As I posted, it should contain ONLY what I posted:

Code Select

<?php require('/homepages/9/d269191381/htdocs/ForumBollychilli/SSI.php');
ssi_recentTopics();?>

Or if you insist on it having an HTML wrapper:

Code Select

<?php require('/homepages/9/d269191381/htdocs/ForumBollychilli/SSI.php'); ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php ssi_recentTopics();?>
</body>
</html>

thanks bro. that is fine now. but when i add it to my forum A using frame tag it looks really worst than ever. isnt there any other way . means i have recent posts block on forum A which displays forum A's recent posts. It might be also using the ssi.php from forum A. And if so than is there a possiblity to change path to forum B's ssi.php ?

Arantor · December 12, 2009, 04:21:09 PM

There isn't any other way without doing LOTS of manual coding which I don't have the time to sit and write for you.

You know, you can actually customise its style with a little work. Less work than writing the alternative.

Thing is, you never actually said how you wanted it to look.

yourdailysaver · December 12, 2009, 04:23:28 PM

i wanted it to match my Forum A's block look i am using curve theme. please let me know how to customise its style ?

Arantor · December 12, 2009, 04:23:57 PM

Considering I have NO IDEA what that forum looks like, how can I customise it?

yourdailysaver · December 12, 2009, 04:26:57 PM

sent you link by pm as its not family friendly forum

Arantor · December 12, 2009, 04:28:24 PM

I would point out that I normally delete unsolicited PMs, it is more polite to ask first. However given that there is no way around this, it's fine in this case only.

yourdailysaver · December 12, 2009, 04:30:11 PM

sorry buddy but replied to your pm again. i want it to look like recent posts block on forum A

yourdailysaver · December 12, 2009, 04:31:54 PM

if you can visit forum A now you can see how that block looks like

yourdailysaver · December 12, 2009, 04:35:26 PM

background and title color are good but no need for topic name "Actresses" and date and time field and also if possible only need 5 recent topics
