UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V5.php Modifications addon - latestthreads.php

If you've wondered which of the addon scripts is driving the Latest Threads section on this site's home page, let me share it with you! I modified the topthreads.php script into latestthreads.php.

It can be found here! Again, if you find any bugs/issues/concerns, please let me know!

Thanks!

Thanks again Matt, it works well. []https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/]

Fatal error: Failed opening required '/home/httpd/html/wwwthreads.com/php/main.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/htdocs/vhosts/ubbdev.com/htdocs/threads/php/uploads/43365-latestthreads.php on line 66

JC,

are you running this on a page that has other addon scripts...? If so, comment out the line that includes main.inc.php / ubbt.inc.php and let me know if that works...

clicked your attachment link and got that.

I see what you mean! Allen, any idea what's up with that?

Oh, didn't know you attached it the same in the public forums []https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/smile.gif[/]

You attached a .php file, which is gonna try to run instead of download when someone clicks on it.

I just changed the extension to .txt :
click here - I am not sure if you can go back and edit your attachment to the new link.

nope, the max time has been exceeded.... []https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/images/icons/frown.gif[/] ah well... lesson learned!! Thanks for posting the link to the .txt file... if you can edit my post, you can just remove the attachment altogether and place the same link in the post...

thanks allen!

Bug Report ...

It looks like the latestthreads.php does not look where he is allowed to grab messages from and just goes through all the forums.

So it shows messages from private boards that are only accesible by moderators and administrators. (Which is ofcourse not the intention for a main guest page)

A quick and dirty fix is

// --------------------------
// Let's grab the news items
$query = "
SELECT B_Number,B_Posted,B_Last_Post,B_Username,B_Subject,B_Body,B_Main,B_Replies,B_Counter,B_Board, Bo_Read_Perm
FROM w3t_Posts, w3t_Boards
WHERE BO_Keyword = B_Board
AND Bo_Read_Perm = '-1-2-3-4-'
AND $qual
AND B_Last_Post > '$date'
ORDER BY $sort DESC
LIMIT $totalthreads
";

$sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);

// ---------------------------

but probably it can be optimized.

But I would be like to be able to strip out all the images (so the HTML code) ... anyone knows a quick way to do this?

If you find :
AND B_Last_Post > '$date'

and add underneath :
AND B_Board <> 'keyword'

Where "keyword" is the keyword for your private forum, it does pretty much the same thing, tho it's not automagic like yours might be.

Hey Allen,

It is automagic :)

However to be completly on the good spot ...

AND Bo_Read_Perm like '%-3-4-%'

instead of equals ... now all forums were guests and registered normal members have access to are listed. Whenever you change the permissions of a forum you don't need to worry about the addon ... it follows.

A second small bug is the sort order when using full posts.

If you change it to

$sort = "B_Posted";

instead of B_Last_Post the output is correct, because B_Last_Post is changed for all posts of a thread when a post is added ...

I changed a few smaller things
It's inspired on the good old UBB includes we had ...


In this version.

HTML is automaticly striped out in the body.
-this caused problems if body was X characters and last charcter was in the middle of HTML code.
-no huge images showing up on your include page and thus ruining your design

LANG file added.
- language used in the code is replaced by variables

READ THREAD
- added link for full thread even if "all" is selected.

USER INFO
- added link to userinfo

REACT NOW
- added a REPLY NOW so you can direct reply on a thread.

FORUMS SELECTED on READ PERMISSIONS
- added a function so you can select wich forums are used based on the read access for the User Groups you have.

www.ukkepuk.net/ubbt/languagefile_latestthreads.txt

Last one should be renamed and placed in the language directory.
