Yes, when you do a little reading and coding on your own, you will very quickly learn to track down syntax errors.

The changes you just made in SSI.php -- did you make them in
function ssi_queryPosts, or in ssi_recentTopics?

All the SSI.php changes should be in function ssi_recentTopics

Sorry. my mistake. Heh, made the changes in ssi_queryPosts. I corrected it now and that error is gone, however the Recent Topics block still displays the last poster...

Maybe I've made another error? I looked through it and it all looks right. If you could be so kind as to have a quick look for me?

Bump, any ideas please?

Here's how I would approach a problem like this.
1) I would create a new custom php block, because it is an easy way to test the SSI file right inside my forum
2) In that custom php block, I would call ssi_recentTopics. Use the same kind of parameters you would be using from your recent topics block -- number of posts, included or excluded boards, if any, and 'array' output.

3) Using the returned array from  ssi_recentTopics, print out just the stuff you care about -- the stuff you added.
* subject, all the ['topic']['poster'] stuff you just added, id_msg.

Remember, there is a differencee between $posts[$i]['topic]['poster']['link'] and $posts[$i]['poster']['link'] -- merely because different information is stored in those two different locations.

In your PortalBlocks.php file,

Find:

Code Select Expand

if ( $parameters['type'] = 'Topics' )

Replace:

Code Select Expand

if ($parameters['type'] == 'topics')

Thanks for your time and response, it was an honest effort too. However it seems this did not fix the box, its still displaying the last poster.

Also, I thank you for all your help AngelinaBelle but I'm just about done with all of this trouble. What a headache over a little box...
