Fixed!

Glad to see that you fixed your issue. But rather than editing your post with the word fixed, it would have been better imo to have posted what you needed help with and how you fixed it. Like that you can help other people too who might run into the same issue and by reading this topic they can find the solution. Just saying.

I am going to ask her if I can share what was done. I don't want to do that without her permission first I got in trouble for doing that several years back.

So, the OP me asking for .php code for my tinyportal front page left block. I wanted to see the most recent, most viewed topics over 1,000 views from only one forum. Not the most viewed topics from all of the forums.

I don't have the slightest bit of php coding knowledge so I asked for help. @virginiaz was kind enough to offer. This is what she gave me and it does exactly what I want to do. I can even adjust the number of topics I want to be shown. Specifically at the bottom, this part

// 3rd parameter is what boards to include in search, last parameter is minimum views (use 0 if you want to include new topics)
$array = ssi_recentTopicsEx(15, null, array(85), 'array', 1000);
