Hello,
First, sorry for my bad english.
I need some help with the Recent Posts block.
Actually, it only display the icone, subject, and board, name of writer and date
I'd like it to appear part of the message ( 200 character for exemple) in this block. What can I do for that ?
Thanks in advance.
( I use SMF 2.0 RC1 + SP 2.1.1)

After many try, I found I can modify this in Sportal2.php.
I must add $post[preview] to show content of message, but my problem is where ??? I want a return after the topic name.
if (empty($posts))
return $posts;
echo '
<table border="0" width="100%" class="ssi_table">';
foreach ($posts as $post)
echo '
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap">
', $post['icon'], '
</td>
<td valign="top" width="%100">
<a href="', $post['href'], '">', $post['subject'], '</a>
', $post['new'] ? '' : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $post['topic'] . '.msg' . $post['new_from'] . ';topicseen#new"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt['new'] . '" border="0" /></a>', '<br />[', $post['board']['link'], ']
</td>
<td align="right" nowrap="nowrap">
', $post['poster']['link'], '<br />', $post['time'], '
</td>
</tr>';
echo '
</table>';
}

The code below is an edited version of the Board News Block, so that it shows the most recent posts. That should do most of the stuff that you want, I can edit it some more if necessary.
You can change the "$limit = 5;" and "$length = 200;" values to change the number of topics shown and the maximum length of each message respectively.
Create a new PHP block and then put the code below into it:
global $scripturl, $txt, $settings, $modSettings, $context;
global $smcFunc, $return, $color_profile;
loadLanguage('Stats');
$limit = 5;
$length = 200;
// Load the message icons - the usual suspects.
$stable_icons = array('xx', 'thumbup', 'thumbdown', 'exclamation', 'question', 'lamp', 'smiley', 'angry', 'cheesy', 'grin', 'sad', 'wink', 'moved', 'recycled', 'wireless');
$icon_sources = array();
foreach ($stable_icons as $icon)
$icon_sources[$icon] = 'images_url';
// Find the post ids.
$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT id_first_msg
FROM {db_prefix}topics' . ($modSettings['postmod_active'] ? '
WHERE approved = {int:is_approved}' : '') . '
ORDER BY id_first_msg DESC
LIMIT ' . $limit,
array(
'is_approved' => 1,
)
);
$posts = array();
while ($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request))
$posts[] = $row['id_first_msg'];
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);
if (empty($posts))
return array();
// Find the posts.
$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
SELECT
m.icon, m.subject, m.body, IFNULL(mem.real_name, m.poster_name) AS poster_name, m.poster_time,
t.num_replies, t.id_topic, m.id_member, m.smileys_enabled, m.id_msg, t.locked, mem.avatar,
a.id_attach, a.attachment_type, a.filename, t.num_views
FROM {db_prefix}topics AS t
INNER JOIN {db_prefix}messages AS m ON (m.id_msg = t.id_first_msg)

WHERE t.id_first_msg IN ({array_int:post_list})
ORDER BY t.id_first_msg DESC
LIMIT ' . count($posts),
array(
'post_list' => $posts,

$return = array();

Thanks so much LHVWB ;)
Working like a charm, but I'd like to change two small things. ( if possible of course :nervous-happy: )
The first thing :
- I would add the name of the person who wrote the message to the right of the date. ( I already changed $news['timeyear'] to $news['time'])
Second thing, a little more complicated :
For example, I would like to have the last 30 messages, but divided into 3 pages of 10 messages. There should be at the bottom a link to other pages.
I put a picture to show what it might look.
Thank you in advance, it's very nice to have already done this. And once again sorry for my English
EDIT : This code show the last topic , but not the last message. For exemple, if I reply in a topic, it doesn't show in the list.
Can we change this ? Thanks.
