SSI Multiple Board News (ssi_multiBoardNews)

[Deadfire]

That's the reason I want to see for myself - but I'm not going to do the PM tag dance (nothing personal, I just don't like doing anything in private) - because in about 85% of the cases where "it's set up like I described..." it isn't.

I can understand that mate, but as I said it's pre-dev and hidden away for that purpose. Is there another way other then myself making up a public mock up somewhere?

[Deadfire]

I think I have my issue with the code for display. I have the following:

Code Select Expand


$parameters = array(
'limit' => 5,
'board' => array(1,2,3,4,5),
'output_type' => 'array',
'attachments'=> ''thumbnail',
);
$return = ssi_multiBoardNews($parameters);
foreach ($return['topics'] as $news)
{
echo'
<article>
<h2>', $news['subject'], '</h2>
<p class="pubdate">written by ', $news['poster']['link'], ', <time datetime="2013-03-01T12:00:00-05:00">', $news['time'], '</time></p>
<p class="pubdate">posted in ', $news['board']['link'], '</p>
<hr />
<p>', $news['body'], '</p>';
if (isset($news['attachments']))               
                     echo '
            <p><img src="', $news['attachments']['href'], '"/></p>';         
echo' <hr />
<p class="read">', $news['link'], ' | ', $news['new_comment'], '</p>
</article>
<hr class="article-divider" />';

if (!$news['is_last'])
echo '
<hr>
<br />';
}


thinking that my syntax here is wrong

Code Select Expand

    echo ' <p><img src="', $news['attachments']['href'], '"/></p>'; 

As it sits I get a blank img src

You always need to check for any var you would want to use before actually using it,  you don't know if the topic have any attachments or if the attachments are images.

Do a var_dump()  on $news['attachments'] to see what exactly does it contains:  var_dump($news['attachments']);

Aye, it is returning as NULL, which I guess is a issue with the function then?

[Suki]

Well, does the topics you want to fetch actually has any attachments?

[Deadfire]

Well, does the topics you want to fetch actually has any attachments?

Yes it does

[Deadfire]

Yes it does

I must make a edit here I may have missed it but var dumping did reveal the arrays

Code Select Expand


array(1) { [0]=> array(8) { ["href"]=> string(86) "http://*****/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=12.0;attach=4" ["filename"]=> string(30) "*****.jpg" ["filesize"]=> string(9) "796.64 kB" ["width"]=> string(4) "2550" ["height"]=> string(4) "3299" ["imgsize"]=> string(9) "2550x3299" ["downloads"]=> string(14) "viewed 0 times" ["thumbnail"]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(92) "http://*****/labs/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=12.0;attach=5;image" ["width"]=> string(3) "386" ["height"]=> string(3) "500" } } }


*****s of course added by myself.

[Deadfire]

doing a bump on this just wondering if there would be a answer

[Deadfire]

This is fixed the issue was because there can be more then 1 attachment you need to make sure you need to make sure to set that.

so

Code Select Expand

<img src="', $news['attachments'][0]['thumbnail']['href'], '"/> will give you your result

[Suki]

Well, I assumed  you already knew that the attachments var was actually an array containing all possible attachments for said post.

[Deadfire]

Well after the issue with attachments thats more my fault then anything I do have a question.

Is it possibly to add some sort of page break function, or hidden text function to the post that's displayed?

The issue I have is working with a Character limit of 500, the articles that are posted up are much longer and contain a lot of bbcode for formatting. The limit has a habit of cutting off during bbcode leading to things like "[font=arial..." and looking for a way to have the author to force a break.

[Suki]

Not easy, at least not without building a robust func, I got a func for truncating a string but it doesn't handle HTML or BBC so most of the times you end up with broken code.

There are several attempts floating around:

I'm having a bit of a issue trying to show a single board, The code works just fine for more then 1 though....

I'm getting 'Invalid argument supplied for foreach()'

This is my code:

<?php
$parameters = array(
'limit' => 5,
'board' => 2,
'output_type' => 'array',
'length' => 500,

);
$return = ssi_multiBoardNews($parameters);
foreach ($return['topics'] as $news)
{

echo'
<article>
<h2>', $news['subject'], '</h2>
<p class="pubdate">written by ', $news['poster']['link'], ', <time datetime="2013-03-01T12:00:00-05:00">', $news['time'], '</time></p>
<p class="pubdate">posted in ', $news['board']['link'], '</p>
<hr />
<p>', $news['body'], '</p>';
if (isset($news['attachments']))
                     echo '
            <br><p><a href="', $news['attachments'][0]['href'], '"><img src="', $news['attachments'][0]['thumbnail']['href'], '"/></a></p>'; 
echo' <hr />
<p class="read">', $news['link'], ' | ', $news['new_comment'], '</p>
</article>
<hr class="article-divider" />';

if (!$news['is_last'])
echo '
<hr>
<br />';
}
echo'<div class="clear-fix"></div>';

echo '</div>';

echo '</div>';

var_dump ($parameters); gives;

[Arantor]

What foreach()?

Also, how modified is your version of this?

[Deadfire]

What foreach()?

Code Select Expand


$return = ssi_multiBoardNews($parameters);

Also, how modified is your version of this?

The function should have no changes other then the fix for boardsAllowedTo() having strange properties for admins. link here

If the foreach is invalid, $return['topics'] isn't an array, which suggests there's something funny going on.

I agree, thats why I found it odd that it works for multiple boards, but not for a single one.

'board' => array(1,2,3,4,5),
works, but

'board' => array(2), or 'board' => 2,
does not

So, board 2 has some content in it, right?

Indeed it does.(83 topics in total)

Then I see no reason for it to be failing. It's not like I left the limiter in it that was in the original ssi_boardNews that only took the last % of topics for a board.

But there's something definitely awry somewhere, but it's late and I can't see anything obviously wrong. If I remember and have time I'll look into it, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Revisiting my old mods is not my normal idea of fun.
