SSI Archives

[LampArtPro]

I got a lot of my forum working thanks to the many people on this site. But I still have a few questions.

First, I have an archive I'm trying to make, where it'll show all the posts on a certain board using ssi_boardnews. I removed the Icon because that's not needed, and I also removed the date. All I have is the subject, and a little preview of the text.

What I want is for the subject of the post to be a link to the topic. So if the archive says
"Latest News:
Blah blah blah blah blah"
That Latest news will be a link to the topic "Latest News" in the forum.

Have you tried using $news['link'] ?

[LampArtPro]

Yes, that gives me a thing saying "# Comments" as a link. Which technically is a link to the page. But I don't want to confuse users.

$news['subject']['href'] or ['link']

I forgot about that extra garbage there. Use href as JBlaze suggested.

<a href="', $news['href'], '">', $news['subject'], '</a>

[LampArtPro]

$news['subject']['href'] ---replaces the subject with the number "1"
<a href="', $news['href'], '">', $news['subject'], '</a> ----comes back with a script error and the page displays nothing.

I use this:

Code Select Expand

<?php 
$array = ssi_boardNews(19.0, 4, null, 285, 'array');
foreach ($array as $news)
{
echo '

<div>

<div class="news_header"><a href="', $news['href'], '"><b>', $news['subject'], '</b></a> </div>
<div class="news_body">', $news['body'], ' &nbsp;<a style="font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;font-size:smaller" href="', $news['href'], '">Read more...</a></div>

</div>
';

}
?>

19.0 is board ID, 4 topics, 285 characters

$news['subject']['href'] ---replaces the subject with the number "1"
<a href="', $news['href'], '">', $news['subject'], '</a> ----comes back with a script error and the page displays nothing.

Remember include SSi.php

THANKS! That worked, one more question. Is there a way to include the signature of the person posting?
