SSI Multiple Board News (ssi_multiBoardNews)

[luuuciano]

it will be too complicated to add a function... that limit the output by X days... and not X amount of posts?
(to build a weekly newsletter, resume, or something like that...)

[ephobe]

any idea when this will be compatible with 1.1.12?

[Suki]

its compatible, you can try  changing the 1.1.11 for 1.1.12 in the package-info.xml  file in the mod's zip

then  zip it again and install.

Hey Robbo,

Is there a way not to allow image tags? 

Code Select Expand

[img][/img]


As you can see i use it in my front page and a member posted several images.  Im not diggin' it.

Not when I wrote it, no. Though there's nothing to stop you grabbing the content by return array (which is one of the myriad options it has, see the output method parameter, rather than just outputting it. Once you do that, preg_replace('~<img [^>]+?~i', '', $content) on the given content... (obviously substitute the last variable there for whatever you loop through with)

Nevermind on that    I changed the layout so the front page looks more a like a blog.  Thanx tho'

[Mick.]

Here's a tip:

I wanted my front page to look like a blog. .....but for my likings, i wanted the 'subject' with bigger fonts, colored and clickable.

In Arantor's code in SSI.php file

find:

Code Select Expand

'subject' => $row['subject'],

and replace with:

Code Select Expand

'subject' => '<font color="#0474b4" size="5">'. '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['id_topic'] . '.0">' . $row['subject'] . '</a>' . '</font>',


Demo: link

small issue i cant crack it.  Im trying to make 'add this' work.

Code Select Expand

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;username=xa-4d1e47940c3e817f" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a>
<span class="addthis_separator">|</span>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4d1e47940c3e817f"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->



But it still shares the main domain instead of the topic id.

I tried to use this in it but no luck... any ideas?

Code Select Expand

' . '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['id_topic'] . '.0">' . '

demo.... CAC

Here's a tip:

it will bemuch better if you use <span style="color:#0474b4; font-size:5em">  instead of <font>  cause that tag is deprecated

small issue i cant crack it.  Im trying to make 'add this' work.

try using  $news['id']

' . '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $news['id']
. '.0">' . '

Thank you miss,...

I changed my mind as it may make the posts in the front page too busy.


as for the color code, using 1.5em is much better.  5em made it huge.  hehehhe

Bluedevil,

I'll post it tonight. I'm on my phone now

Thank you very much

I'm encountering a slight problem (because I'm a total nub at this).
I'm using the Multi Board News function on both the index page (pulling topics from board #1) as well as another separate page (pulling topics from board #2). The index page works perfectly fine, but for the separate page, the number of comments and the "Write Comment" are missing. I also had to override the permissions for the content of board #2 to show up.
Board #1 and board #2 have the exact same settings and permission though, so I can't figure out what's wrong.

For my index page, I have:

Code Select Expand

<?php $parameters = array(
  'limit' => 5,
  'board' => array(2),
);
ssi_multiBoardNews($parameters); ?>

And for my separate page, I have:

Code Select Expand

<?php $parameters = array(
  'limit' => 1,
  'board' => array(15),
  'perms_override' => true,
);
ssi_multiBoardNews($parameters); ?>

What am I doing wrong?

Bluedevil, I think you've forgot it :/

[luuuciano]

Or he talks to much!

[Mick.]

Sure, let me drop my personal business and post this for y'all this right minute.  Hang tight.

[Darkness_]

I just said that because you said i'll drop it tonight.


But thank you in advance

[Mick.]

I'm at my folks visiting. I'm leaving in an hour or so. I can't post the code via iPhone as I don't remember the code. I'll post it today once I get home.

[Darkness_]

Ok, waiting wit exsitement (don't know how to spell it )

Thank you.

How to add a "Read More" link,....

Open SSI.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

$row['body'] = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);
$row['body'] .= '...';
}

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

$row['body'] = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);
$row['body'] .= '...' . '&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['id_topic'] . '.0">' . '<strong>Read More</strong>' . '</a>';
}
