Didn't work for me still getting Debug error on my main website page :?

I'd be greateful if anyone could help me on this matter, as I'm also sorta new to phpbb, is there some sort of code i'd need to stop the debug showing? or some sort of refresh code i can use that will up date the main page to the forum.

Anyone?

Hi to everybody!
I tried to apply a latest posts module to Joomla and here it is my result.
Now I am using Joomla 1.5.15, JFusion 1.2.3-000 and phpBB 3.0.6
Looking around in the world of the Joomla extensions I couldn't find a module that could give me the latest posts following the phpBB user permissions.
I have seen that someone has already requested it for JFusion
http://code.jfusion.org/issues/287
and it will be developed in the future.

For the moment I have written something similar but I am not a php programmer and these are only snippets, that I put together, found searching the web. So I need your opinion about it and please tell me if I have made some mistake or if there are security problems.

1) Edit these 3 Joomla files
/libraries/phputf8/mbstring/case.php
/libraries/phputf8/mbstring/core.php
/libraries/phputf8/mbstring/strlen.php
put every function inside

Code: Select all

if(!function_exists('function_name')) {
}
For example, in core.php

Code: Select all

if(!function_exists('utf8_strpos')) {
    function utf8_strpos($str, $search, $offset = FALSE){
        if(strlen($str) && strlen($search)) {
            if ( $offset === FALSE ) {
                return mb_strpos($str, $search);
            } else {
                return mb_strpos($str, $search, $offset);
            }
        } else return FALSE;
    }
}
2) In /phpBB3/includes/utf/ rename utf_tools.php to inc_utf_tools.php, create in the same folder a file called utf_tools.php and inside write this

Code: Select all

<?php
if (!defined('IN_PHPBB') && !defined('JOOM15_PHPBB3'))
{
    exit;
}

//---- don't let the script be loaded more than once -----------
if(!function_exists('utf8_substr')) {
    $script_cur_path=dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    require($script_cur_path. "inc_utf_tools.php");       
}

if(!function_exists('utf8_strlen')) {
    $script_cur_path=dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    require($script_cur_path. "inc_utf_tools.php");       
}
?>
3) Edit the index.php of your Joomla template
/templates/ja_purity/index.php

and at the top of the file write

Code: Select all

<?php
global $phpbb_root_path, $phpEx, $auth, $user, $db, $config, $cache, $template;
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './forum/'; // Path to phpbb folder
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1); // Don't remove
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.php'); // Don't use 'common.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.php'); // Don't use 'functions_display.' . $phpEx);
// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
// Grab user preferences
$user->setup();
?>
4) I created a module using Jumi and posted the following code

Code: Select all

<? 
    /*** phpBB3 - Last Active Topics System ***/
    //Show last x topics

    global $phpbb_root_path, $phpEx, $auth, $user, $db, $config, $cache;
    define('TOPICS_LIMIT',10);

    // Create arrays
    $topics = array();
   
    // Get forums that current user has read rights to.
    $forums = array_unique(array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read', true)));
   
    // Get active topics.
    $sql="SELECT *
    FROM " . TOPICS_TABLE . "
    WHERE topic_approved = '1' AND " . $db->sql_in_set('forum_id', $forums) . "
    ORDER BY topic_last_post_time DESC";
    $result = $db->sql_query_limit($sql,TOPICS_LIMIT);
    while ($r = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
    {
        $topics[] = $r;
    }
   $db->sql_freeresult($result);
?>
<div>
<?
       
    foreach($topics as $t)
    {
        // Get folder img, topic status/type related information
        $topic_tracking_info = get_complete_topic_tracking($t['forum_id'], $t['topic_id']);
        $unread_topic = (isset($topic_tracking_info[$t['topic_id']]) && $t['topic_last_post_time'] > $topic_tracking_info[$t['topic_id']]) ? true : false;
        $folder_img = $folder_alt = $topic_type = '';
        topic_status($t, $t['topic_replies'], $unread_topic, $folder_img, $folder_alt, $topic_type);
       
        // output the link
        ?>
            <img style="float: left; vertical-align: middle" src="<?=$user->img($folder_img, $folder_alt, false, '', 'src');?>" title="<?=$user->lang[$folder_alt];?>" alt="<?=$user->lang[$folder_alt];?>" />
            <div style="padding-left: 40px;">
                <a href="<?=JURI::base( true ) . '/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=53&jfile=viewtopic.php?f=' . $t['forum_id'] . '&t=' . $t['topic_id'] . '&p=' . $t['topic_last_post_id'] . '#p' . $t['topic_last_post_id'];?>" target="_self">
                    <?=html_entity_decode($t['topic_title']);?>
                </a>
                <br />
                <strong><?=html_entity_decode($t['topic_last_poster_name']);?></strong> -
                <? setlocale(LC_ALL, 'it_IT'); ?> <?=html_entity_decode(utf8_encode(strftime("%A %d %B %Y, %H:%M:%S",$t['topic_last_post_time']))); ?>
                [<?=html_entity_decode($t['topic_replies']);?>]
                </div>
            <br />
    <?
    }
    ?>
</div>
At line #41 change the Itemid=53 with your JFusion menu link ItemID.

Please give me any advice, suggestion or criticism.

Thank you

Spike

Would it be possible to show a preview of the acutal post text? including an bbcode or attachments?

Thanks

Re: Latest Posts on site home page

Post by cuzzmunger »

Hi,
Im using this latest posts & works great.
however my forums is on a subdomain & home page is on the main domain.

So im using a iframe to display on the home page. when I click the links it opens in the iframe...
I would just want it to open a new window/tab.
any help would be appreciated.

This must be placed at the top of your page.
