Hey guys,

I'm using smf 2.0.17 and I'd like to be able to show really simple list of all boards that I have on forum, separated by comma, and linked with appropriate link.

So for example i'd like to show something like:
Category 1: Board 1, Board 2, Board 3, Board 4
Cateogory 2: Board 1, Board 2, Board 3, Board 4
Category 3: Board 1, Board 2, Board 3, Board 4

Is there a php code I can use in order to get those, so I can use it in portal block on somewhere on the forum?

So I found this:
https://support.simplemachines.org/function_db/index.php?action=view_function;id=13

Can I use that, and if so, how?
I tried to use just getBoardTree (); but it shows me nothing. Also, not sure if I should firstly require SSI or some other file in order to use this function? Or I'm looking at the wrong place?

That function will populate a few variables which you can use to fulfil your request, but you need to pull in the defining source script first.

Try a few things in your portal block, like:


global $cat_tree, $boards, $boardList;

include('Subs-Boards.php');

getBoardTree();

// have a look inside the variables

echo '<pre>';
print_r($cat_tree);
