Displaying phpbb avatar on external posting

[swaygodeus]

Ok, so I followed a cut/paste tutorial on having your phpbb posts show up on an external page. I've accomplished that here:

 

http://www.theuflonline.com (lower middle)

 

What I am missing though is the poster's avatar. The tutorial didn't give the code to do that. I was hoping someone could edit what was given so the avatar will show up. I'd like it to look something like this:

 

http://premiermaddenfootball.com/index.php (on the bottom right)

 

Here is the php code:

 

<?php
/*
* home.php
* Description: example file for displaying latest posts and topics
* by battye (for phpBB.com MOD Team)
* September 29, 2009
*/

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './msgboard/';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/bbcode.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup('viewforum'); 


/* create_where_clauses( int[] gen_id, String type )
* This function outputs an SQL WHERE statement for use when grabbing
* posts and topics */

function create_where_clauses($gen_id, $type)
{
global $db, $auth;

$size_gen_id = sizeof($gen_id);

switch($type)
{
case 'forum':
$type = 'forum_id';
break;
case 'topic':
$type = 'topic_id';
break;
default:
trigger_error('No type defined');
}

// Set $out_where to nothing, this will be used of the gen_id
// size is empty, in other words "grab from anywhere" with
// no restrictions
$out_where = '';

if ($size_gen_id > 0)
{
// Get a list of all forums the user has permissions to read
$auth_f_read = array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read', true));

if ($type == 'topic_id')
{
$sql = 'SELECT topic_id FROM ' . TOPICS_TABLE . '
WHERE ' . $db->sql_in_set('topic_id', $gen_id) . '
AND ' . $db->sql_in_set('forum_id', $auth_f_read);

$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
{
// Create an array with all acceptable topic ids
$topic_id_list[] = $row['topic_id'];
}

unset($gen_id);

$gen_id = $topic_id_list;
$size_gen_id = sizeof($gen_id);
}

$j = 0; 

for ($i = 0; $i < $size_gen_id; $i++)
{
$id_check = (int) $gen_id[$i]; // If the type is topic, all checks have been made and the query can start to be built if( $type == 'topic_id' ) { $out_where .= ($j == 0) ? 'WHERE ' . $type . ' = ' . $id_check . ' ' : 'OR ' . $type . ' = ' . $id_check . ' '; } // If the type is forum, do the check to make sure the user has read permissions else if( $type == 'forum_id' && $auth->acl_get('f_read', $id_check) )
{
$out_where .= ($j == 0) ? 'WHERE ' . $type . ' = ' . $id_check . ' ' : 'OR ' . $type . ' = ' . $id_check . ' ';
} 

$j++;
}
}

if ($out_where == '' && $size_gen_id > 0)
{
trigger_error('A list of topics/forums has not been created');
}

return $out_where;
}


$search_limit = 10;

$forum_id = array(14, );
$forum_id_where = create_where_clauses($forum_id, 'forum');

$topic_id = array( );
$topic_id_where = create_where_clauses($topic_id, 'topic');

$topics = 'SELECT * FROM ' . TOPICS_TABLE . '
' . $forum_id_where . '
AND topic_status <> ' . ITEM_MOVED . '
AND topic_approved = 1
ORDER BY topic_id DESC';

$topics_result = $db->sql_query_limit($topics, $search_limit);

while ($topics_row = $db->sql_fetchrow($topics_result))
{
$topic_title = $topics_row['topic_title'];
$topic_author = get_username_string('full', $topics_row['topic_poster'], $topics_row['topic_first_poster_name'], $topics_row['topic_first_poster_colour']);
$topic_date = $user->format_date($topics_row['topic_time']);
$topic_last_post = append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", "p=" . $topics_row['topic_last_post_id'] . "#" . $topics_row['topic_last_post_id']);
$topic_last_author = get_username_string('full', $topics_row['topic_last_poster_id'], $topics_row['topic_last_poster_name'], $topics_row['topic_last_poster_colour']);
$topic_link = append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", "t=" . $topics_row['topic_id']);

$template->assign_block_vars('announcements', array(
'TOPIC_TITLE' => censor_text($topic_title),
'TOPIC_AUTHOR' => $topic_author,
'TOPIC_DATE' => $topic_date,
'TOPIC_LAST_POST' => $topic_last_post,
'TOPIC_LAST_AUTHOR' => $topic_last_author,
'TOPIC_LINK' => $topic_link,
));
}

page_header('External page');

$template->set_filenames(array(
'body' => 'teamnews2.html'
));

page_footer();
?>

 

And displaying it I have it as;

 

<!-- BEGIN announcements -->
<table border=1 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=1 bordercolor=black width=550>

<tr><td><font color=white face=verdana size=2> <b> <a href={announcements.TOPIC_LINK} target=_blank>{announcements.TOPIC_TITLE}</a> </b>
<tr><td><font color=white face=verdana size=1> {announcements.TOPIC_AUTHOR} / {announcements.TOPIC_DATE}



</table>
<!-- END announcements -->

 

I really appreciate any help I can get!! THANKS!!
