Topic: Yet another "Recent Topics" Taringa Style bloc

[HotJoint]

Hey guys!

I couldn't post this on the blocs forum for some reason so i just create it here. I want to share a little twist i made to create a Taringa "Recent Topics" bloc. All the code was made by Blue and you can find the original post allways here: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=1621.0

So as i said, I just made some edits so u can get a "Recent Topics" bloc without any information on it but the topic subject and the image. Works like a charm in 2.0 RC3 SMF forum, just copy the code on a custom PHP bloc and thats it.

The only setting you might want to set is the number of posts that shows. To do it just find:

Code: [Select]

$num_recent = !empty($parameters[0]) ? $parameters[0] :  (isset($_GET['limit']) ? (int) $_GET['limit'] : 30);

And change the number 30 for the quantity of posts you want to show.

So here is it the code:

Code: [Select]

global $context, $settings, $scripturl, $txt;
global $user_info, $modSettings, $smcFunc, $posts;
global $color_profile;

$exclude_boards = null;
$num_recent = !empty($parameters[0]) ? $parameters[0] :  (isset($_GET['limit']) ? (int) $_GET['limit'] : 30);

if ($exclude_boards === null && !empty($modSettings['recycle_enable']) && $modSettings['recycle_board'] > 0)
$exclude_boards = array($modSettings['recycle_board']);
else
$exclude_boards = empty($exclude_boards) ? array() : $exclude_boards;

$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 all the posts in distinct topics.  Newer ones will have higher IDs.
$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('','
SELECT

Nice custom coding !

Maybe you can help me, please - the support here from the team was a little ... changing, so i ask you if you can show Date and Time and the avatar from the author inside your code ?

Thank you in advance.
