Hi,
The posts.php file for the ?id=xx is:
<?php

// THIS MUST BE CALLED FIRST. IF DOING FROM A DIFFERENT DIRECTLY, ADJUST THE FOLLOWING...
require_once('recent_topics.class.php');
$_GET[id] = ereg_replace("[^0-9]","","$_GET[id]");
if($_GET[id] ==""){$_GET[id] = 2;}
/**
* DISPLAY OPTIONS

/*
Include_from and exclude_from are forum ID filters. Use one or the other but
NOT both. List the forum ID's seperated by commas. Defaults to all forums if
nothing is present.
ex1) to include only forums with ID's 45, 47, and 50...
'include_from' => '45,47,50'
ex2) to exclude forums with ID's 11, 13, 18...
'exclude_from' => '11,13,18'
Quantity is how many topics to bring back. This is optional. Default is 10.
Time format is the same date() format. Refer to http://us.php.net/date for details.
This is optional and defaults to 3:34 PM.
*/
$options = array( 'include_from' => $_GET[id],
'exclude_from' => '',
'quantity' => '15',
'time_format' => 'D j F, g:i A');
// initialize the recent_topics object and stick the options array into it
$rt = new recent_topics($options);
/*
From here, you have lots of options. If you're okay with PHP, use get_array()
to retrieve the raw topic data and format the output however you want...
ex3) $topics_array = $rt->get_array();
Use get_html_table() to return a string of the recent topics in table format...
ex4) $topics_table = $rt->get_html_table();
echo $topics_table;
Use get_html_list() to return a string of the recent topics in list format...
ex5) $topics_list = $rt->get_html_list();
echo $topics_list;
Or, directly output a table or list with either the display_html_table() or
display_html_list() methods...
ex6) $rt->display_html_table();
ex7) $rt->display_html_list();
*/
$rt->display_html_table();
// now, unset the object to close the db connection and clean it up
unset($rt);
// you may rinse and repeat however many times you want ...
?>
Would I just need t change
$_GET[id] = ereg_replace("[^0-9]","","$_GET[id]");
if($_GET[id] ==""){$_GET[id] = 2;}
to the sample you mentioned below?
