Scrolling Recent Posts Custom PHP Code For SMF 2.1.3 and EHPortal 1.39

[Dman2]

Wasn't sure where to share this, but having been using SMF for years in conjunction with Simple Portal, I have always used scrolling recent topics with the members really liked, and it allowed far more information to be provided, in a small footprint.  After upgrading to SMF 2.1.3 and EHPortal (the new portal branch for SMF 2.1), the older script started throwing errors in the log.  I contacted @Chen Zhen, who rapidly saw the errors with the old PHP block script, and tuned them up.  ALL credit is given to him.

If you TOO would like some great scrolling recent posts, and are using SMF 2.1X and EHPortal, look no further.  I was surprised to NOT be any good solutions before this post.
