UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Reverse Posting CGI Question

Phew! this is rough. More help is needed.
Perhaps someone who has sucessfully accomplished this can e-mail me a copy of their
ubb_lib_posting.cgi file
Cuz this aint workin'!

Scenario: I am trying to reverse the posting but only on certain forums (4 to be exact).
Am using 6.4
Found code, changed it, but to no avail.

Here's what was there:


#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE') {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option


Here's what I changed it too:


#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE' || $forum_number == 65) {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option


But it didn't function for forum 65.

I checked the syntax, there are no errors. perhaps a different name must be inputed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of $forum_number, use $in{f}

Thanks for the quick reply
Tried it but still no skill.

Here's the latest:

#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE' || $in{f} == 65) {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option

Supposedly, the original post worked for a friend on 6.4 but I cant get in touch with them.
ANy other suggestions?
thanks in advance

Sorry, it worked, only the original forum I tried is still not working.
The forum number is right. interesting.

I guess I can just add more lines for additional forums (need 4 total to be reverse order)

Thanks again!

One strange thing, adding lines allows one additional forum to go in reverse, but the final 2 are not affected.
Any ideas?
Syntax is as follows:

#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE' || $in{f} == 39) {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option

#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE' || $in{f} == 40) {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option

#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE' || $in{f} == 43) {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option

#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE' || $in{f} == 65) {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option


The last 2 do not function, the first 2 do.

Got it.
Had the caching on.
Just call me dopey!

How 'bout making that into one if statement:

[code][/code]No need for so many statements.

thanks Jordo, that was the first try. I don't know if I posted that or not on this string.
I'll post again, once a permanent solution is working for multiple forums in reverse order.
(This is for Braindumps, which people want to see the latest first, so I don't really see many others needing this for their board)

Thanks for all the help so far guys!

Well, here's the final if anyone cares for running multiple forums in reverse order.
This is an example of my syntax:

#reverse topics?
if ($vars_display{ReverseThreads} eq 'TRUE' || $forum_number == 65 || $forum_number == 40 || $forum_number == 43 || $forum_number == 39 || $forum_number == 70) {
@ordered_topic = reverse(@topic_file);
} else {
@ordered_topic = @topic_file;
} # end if/else reverse threads option


Easy, as it should of been.
I think I tried this first but I didn't clear the cache.

Damn cache
