Simple SSI Question

<?php ssi_recentTopics(); ?>

How do I make that only apply to one board (e.g. only display recent topics from board 85.0)

Thanks!

You can use it like that:

Code Select Expand


<?php ssi_recentTopics('5', array('1', '2', '3')); ?>


Say you have 4 boards.. With the code above, you have restricted the recent topics to board 4, because you excluded the first three ones.
Number 5 in the code means the number of recent topics will be displayed.

Thanks for the prompt reply, but I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
So if I want it to display only recent topics from the board 85.0, what code do I need to use?

<?php ssi_recentTopics('85.0', array('1', '2', '3')); ?>


?

Unfortunately, ssi_recentTopics does not let us specify the board to include. In contrast, it lets us to exclude the boards we dont want while displaying the recent topics.
So if you want to show recent topics only from board 85, I suggest you to use board news like this:

Code Select Expand

<?php ssi_boardNews('85'); ?>
This will display the recent topics in the board 85.

If you still want to use recentTopics; you can use it this way:

Code Select Expand

<?php ssi_recentTopics('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12', '13'); ?>
Those go till 85.. This means, recentTopics function will exclude the boards 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13.. so on.

Well personally I'd wrap it up in a function.

Code Select Expand


function ssi_recentTopicsFromBoards($from_boards, $num_recent = 8, $output_method = 'echo')
{
global $context, $db_prefix, $user_info;
if ( !isset($context['boards_available']) )
{
// Get a list of the boards they can see
$context['boards_available'] = array();
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_BOARD
FROM {$db_prefix}boards
WHERE $user_info[query_see_board]", __FILE__, __LINE__);
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request) )
$context['boards_available'][] = (int) $row['ID_BOARD'];
mysql_free_result($request);
}

if ( !is_array($from_boards) )
$from_boards = array ( $from_boards );

// Make a copy of the board list so we can remove the ones we do want to see
$dontshow = $context['boards_available'];
foreach($dontshow AS $index => $id)
if ( in_array($id, $from_boards) )
unset($dontshow[$index]);
return ssi_recentTopics($num_recent, $dontshow, $output_method);
}

Note the above is not tested.
