Topic: Add icon to this "Recent topics" code

[ddi]

Hi, all!

I would like to add an image/icon (the same one) to the left of every title of a topic. Can you help me on that?

I use SMF 1.11.

Code: [Select]

global $scripturl, $settings, $context, $txt;



$what = ssi_recentTopics('6', NULL, 'array');



echo '

<div class="tabsmenucontent" style="padding: 5px">

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="bordercolor">

<tr class="titlebg">

<td valign="middle"><span class="smalltext"><font color="#F96400">Νέες δημοσιεύσεις</font></td>

<td valign="middle"><span class="smalltext"><font color="#F96400">Πίνακας</font></td>

<td valign="middle"><span class="smalltext"><font color="#F96400">Συγγραφέας</font></td>


</tr>';



foreach ($what as $topic)

{
echo '

<tr><td class="windowbg3" valign="middle">', $topic['link'];



// Is this topic new? (assuming they are logged in!)

if (!$topic['new'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])

echo '

<a href="', $scripturl, '?topic=', $topic['topic'], '.from', $topic['time'], '#new"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';



echo '

</td>

<td class="windowbg3" valign="middle">', $topic['board']['link'], '</td>

<td class="windowbg3" valign="middle">', $topic['poster']['link'], '</td>

';


}



echo '

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>';

Well, AngelinaBelle, thank you for your reply.

But all I want is to achieve that (add an icon to the left of each topic title) by adding code in the above code. Not to the block that contains it.

[AngelinaBelle]

I think I responded to the wrong post! I'm sorry!

[dannbass]

That's pretty easy... it's already in the array! just use ' .$topic['icon']. ' wherever you want it.

easy? I use the above block but i don't know where to put ' .$topic['icon']. '
i have tried,can somebody help?

[AngelinaBelle]

This depends on where you want it. $topic['link'] is the link to the topic. You probably want it right before or after the subject/link.

[klicken]

Yes i want it right before  the subject/link.

[AngelinaBelle]

So where the block has

Code: [Select]

echo '

<tr><td class="windowbg3" valign="middle">', $topic['link'];
You can add your image link right before $topic['link']
 
For a quick refresher on the HTML img tag, have a look through a tutorial like the one at w3schools.com

Thanks alot it worked

Is it possibe to exclude boards in this script?
 $exclude_boards_topics = array(85,86,87,88,89); doesn't work
i guess something else is missing 

[AngelinaBelle]

Please have a look in the file at ssi_recentTopics.  This shows you how to call that function

Code: [Select]

function ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo')(looks like you have put 'array' in the 3rd parameter instead of the 4th, but the function is coded to check for that)
 

Code: (find) [Select]

$what = ssi_recentTopics('6', NULL, 'array');

Code: (replace) [Select]

$what = ssi_recentTopics('6', array(85,86,87,88,89), NULL, 'array');
If what you really want is just a small number of boards included, you could write it like this instead:

Code: (replace) [Select]

$what = ssi_recentTopics('6', NULL, array(84, 90), 'array');

Thanks alot  works great
