Recent posts with specific icon

[ehsizzup]

Hello all.

I would like to create a new SSI function that will return posts with a specific message icon only.

Using the function ssi_recentTopics as a starting point, can someone tell me how to add the code required to filter out the topic with the other icons.



Thanks in advance.

Inside the function look for this part:

Code Select Expand


        // Build the array.
        $posts[] = array(

Add before that function the check you want for which icon (I used "smiley").

Code Select Expand

if ($row['icon'] == 'smiley') {
        // Build the array.
        $posts[] = array(

Don't forget to add the closing bracket at the end of the array.
Find:

Code Select Expand

            'icon' => '<img src="' . $settings[$icon_sources[$row['icon']]] . '/post/' . $row['icon'] . '.gif" align="middle" alt="' . $row['icon'] . '" border="0" />',
        );

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

            'icon' => '<img src="' . $settings[$icon_sources[$row['icon']]] . '/post/' . $row['icon'] . '.gif" align="middle" alt="' . $row['icon'] . '" border="0" />',
        );
    }

This will be a huge time saver for me!

Thank you so much.

Thanks a lot for this bit....but....

It seems this isnt exactly what I need.

The current code will list off all the recent topics with a specific message icon, but if there is a reply to one of those topics without the icon it will skip them both with the icon it will only return the reply not the original topic.

Is there a way to return the topics with specific icons only, while ignoring all the replies?
