drkshenronx Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 ok heres what I want to do. I have phpbb+fetch_all installed and everything works ok but I don't know alot about php and I just want the latest 10 recent forum posts to be displayed on my main page. Here is the code to get the recent posts <!-- RECENT --> <?php if (isset($recent)) { ?> <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline"> <tr> <td class="catHead" height="28"><span class="cattitle"><?php echo $lang['Topics']; ?></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="row1" align="left" width="100%"> <span class="gensmall"> <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($recent); $i++) { ?> <?php echo create_date($board_config['default_dateformat'], $recent[$i]['post_time'], $board_config['board_timezone']); ?> <a href="<?php echo append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=' . $recent[$i]['user_id']); ?>"> <?php echo $recent[$i]['username']; ?></a><br /> <img src="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>templates/subSilver/images/icon_latest_reply.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> <a href="<?php echo append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'viewtopic.php?p=' . $recent[$i]['post_id'] . '#' . $recent[$i]['post_id']); ?>"> <b><?php echo $recent[$i]['topic_title']; ?><?php if ($recent[$i]['topic_trimmed']) { echo '...'; } ?></b></a><br /> <?php } ?> </span> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <?php } ?> <!-- RECENT --> Can anyone help me make it so only the last 10 posts will be displayed please.

Northern Flame Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 what is the value of the variable $recent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkshenronx Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Nevermind everyone I figured this one out. To change the amount of posts that are viewed I had to edit the posts.php file in the mod directory. As for your question the $recent variable was as follows <?php $recent = phpbb_fetch_posts(null, FETCH_POSTS_LAST); ?> Thanks for the quick response. For anyone else who is trying to figure this out go into the phpbb_fetch_all directory and open the posts.php file. Next edit this line <?php $CFG['posts_limit'] = 10; ?> This should be the first line of actual code on the page as everything else is commented (other than the <?php tag of course). I figured this one out by meself .. yay!! I felt like an idiot in the end though ... the limit was already set to 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
