[runnerjp]

can i change the font size of the information gatherd by this

[code]<center>Most Recent Posts </center>
<div style="border : solid 2px #ffffff; background : #094569; color : #ffffff; padding : 4px; width : 200px; height : 100px; overflow : auto; ">
<?php require("forum/SSI.php");
ssi_recentPosts(); ?>


</div>
[/code]

Depends on what's inside your function, but you could try adjusting that div style declaration to:

[code]<div style="font-size:11px; border: ..... [/code]

If that looks odd, which it may if there's formatting code in SSI.php then you could always edit the function ssi_recentPosts() in SSI.php

That's the beauty of PHP, you can hack around with it and there's always someone to help when it goes wrong  ;)

We don't have the code for that function. We can't tell you what to change. You do have the code for that function. Look through it to find out where there's screen output and modify to suit however you think best.

so would this be in my ssi file yer

[AndyB]

Since changing the font style in the surrounding div apparently didn't achieve what you wanted, I can only assume that 'yer', it's somewhere in your ssi file that needs to be edited.

i cant seem to find where this wud need changeing :S is it just me or is their a way
[code]ssi_recentPosts($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = array(), $output_method = 'echo')
{
global $context, $settings, $scripturl, $txt, $db_prefix, $ID_MEMBER, $user_info, $modSettings;

// Find all the posts.  Newer ones will have higher IDs.
$request = db_query("
SELECT
m.posterTime, m.subject, m.ID_TOPIC, m.ID_MEMBER, m.ID_MSG, m.ID_BOARD, b.name AS bName,
IFNULL(mem.realName, m.posterName) AS posterName, " . ($user_info['is_guest'] ? '1 AS isRead, 0 AS logTime' : '
IFNULL(lt.logTime, IFNULL(lmr.logTime, 0)) >= GREATEST(m.posterTime, m.modifiedTime) AS isRead,
IFNULL(lt.logTime, IFNULL(lmr.logTime, 0)) AS logTime') . "
FROM ({$db_prefix}messages AS m, {$db_prefix}boards AS b)
LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}members AS mem ON (mem.ID_MEMBER = m.ID_MEMBER)" . (!$user_info['is_guest'] ? "
LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}log_topics AS lt ON (lt.ID_TOPIC = m.ID_TOPIC AND lt.ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER)
[/code]

Nothing in that code would do anything like output to the screen.  All it does is create a database query.  Look through the code for something that outputs to the screen or has created some string that then gets set to an output function.

[runnerjp]

what would an example of the output function would i be lookin for :D

No thanks.  I'm sure there are other readers here would will enjoy helping and/or seeing the solution as a learning aid.  Make a copy of the file, remove any information relating to passwords (if there is any), then save it as wombat.php[b]s[/b] and upload it to your server. Post the URL ... www.mysite.com/wombat.phps ... and then we can all look at it and offer help.

[runnerjp]

yep its uploaded....so if any 1 can offer me any help the code is all here
