Title: Recen topics with variables for specific boards
Post by: goten22 on August 26, 2015, 06:48:57 PM

I'm looking for some way to expand/merge those two scripts:
http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=1621.0 - recent topics with exclude boards
http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=2132.0 - recent topics with include

But i want to introduce some extra things for topics from secific boards. For example:

I want to add specific images for specific boards. I will appreciate any help, thanks

Figured it out.

Code: [Select]

<?php
$new_topics=ssi_recentTopics(10, null, null, 'array');

$board_ukonczone=3;
$board_wip=1;

foreach ($new_topics as $topic) {

if($topic['board']['id']==$board_ukonczone){
echo' 
      <div class="topic_list"><a href="" class="d_block">3D</a> ' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';

} elseif($topic['board']['id']==$board_wip){
echo' 
      <div class="topic_list"><a href="" class="d_block">WIP</a> ' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';


} else{
echo'
      <div class="topic_list"><img src="/Themes/flatline/images/post/xx.gif" alt="' . $topic['board']['name'] . '"/>' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';

}
}

Glad you figured it out! The only thing that comes to my mind while looking at it would be using $imagesdir instead of the raw image path, but other than that thanks for posting the solution! I'll go ahead and mark the topic as solved ;)

EDIT: looking at it again... Why using board id variables? Could have used numbers directly if I'm not mistaken...

Sure, but I'm testing whole forum so even id boards are not final and I want to modify them quickly and easily. ;)

Indeed, using direct IDs *should* be actually faster :P I could be wrong because I am sleepy and didn't even dig into it properly.

Here is a couple of ways I would have done it.

Code: [Select]

<?php

$zone_topics = ssi_recentTopics(10, null, array(3), 'array');
$wip_topics = ssi_recentTopics(10, null, array(1), 'array');
$remaining_topics = ssi_recentTopics(10, array(1, 3), null, 'array');

foreach ($zone_topics as $topic)
echo '<div class="topic_list"><a href="" class="d_block">3D</a> ' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';

foreach ($wip_topics as $topic)
echo '<div class="topic_list"><a href="" class="d_block">WIP</a> ' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';

foreach ($remaining_topics as $topic)
echo '<div class="topic_list"><img src="/Themes/flatline/images/post/xx.gif" alt="' . $topic['board']['name'] . '"/>' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';

?>

Code: [Select]

<?php

$new_topics = ssi_recentTopics(10, null, null, 'array');

foreach ($new_topics as $topic)
{
switch ($topic['board']['id'])
{
case 3:
echo '<div class="topic_list"><a href="" class="d_block">3D</a> ' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';
break;
case 1:
echo '<div class="topic_list"><a href="" class="d_block">WIP</a> ' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';
break;
default:
echo '<div class="topic_list"><img src="/Themes/flatline/images/post/xx.gif" alt="' . $topic['board']['name'] . '"/>' . $topic['link'] . ' &mdash; ' . $topic['poster']['link'] . ' | Comments:  ' . $topic['replies'] . ' </div>';
}
}

And that got my attention, it could worth for you to add a language variable to handle that "Comments", otherwise it will show as "Comments" regardless of the language being used.
