If your host has phpMyAdmin you can do it that way. Go into it and select the database for your forum, then click SQL and then copy and paste the SQL in and hit go

Looks great on my website which is Live: http://www.funfreezone.com

To have the scrolling Active Topics at the top of the Forum

You have to paste this code:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" height="100%">
<tr>
<td class="catHead" height="28"><a name="login"></a><span class="cattitle">{MARQUEE_TOPIC}</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row1" valign="top"><span class="gen">
<marquee id="recent_topics" behavior="scroll" direction="up" height="100" scrolldelay="100" scrollamount="2">
<table cellpadding="4" cellSpacing="1" width="100%">

<tr valign="top">
<td class="row2" vAlign="center" align="middle" width="20">
<img src="{marqueerow.FOLD_URL}">
</td>
<td class="row2" width="352">
<span class="forumlink"><a href="{marqueerow.TOPIC_URL}" onMouseOver="document.all.recent_topics.stop()" onMouseOut="document.all.recent_topics.start()">{marqueerow.TOPIC_TITLE}</a></span>
<span class="gensmall"><br /></span>
</td>
<td class="row2" vAlign="center" align="middle" width="78">
<span class="gensmall"><a href="{marqueerow.USER_PROF}" onMouseOver="document.all.recent_topics.stop()" onMouseOut="document.all.recent_topics.start()">{marqueerow.USERNAME}</a></span>
</td>
<td class="row2" vAlign="center" noWrap align="middle" width="100">
<span class="gensmall">{marqueerow.POST_DATE}</span>
</td>
</tr>

</table>
</marquee>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Immediately AFTER This bit of code at the top of index_body.tpl

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="bottom"><span class="gensmall">

{LAST_VISIT_DATE}<br />

{CURRENT_TIME}<br /></span><span class="nav"><a href="{U_INDEX}" class="nav">{L_INDEX}</a></span></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom" class="gensmall">

<a href="{U_SEARCH_NEW}" class="gensmall">{L_SEARCH_NEW}</a><br /><a href="{U_SEARCH_SELF}" class="gensmall">{L_SEARCH_SELF}</a><br />

<a href="{U_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}" class="gensmall">{L_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

EasyMod will have placed it down the bottom so just cut and paste.

Just seen this and would like to add it to my forum, i dont understand where the 2nd part of the code goes though! Any help would be much appreciated. Im still learnin all this! TIA

I've been using this mod on my forum http://forum.pollywog.co.uk/ but have just today upgraded the forum to version 2.0.22 and now this mod doesn't work. How can I get it to work again on the new forum version?

change youcatid_here to the corresponding category number for the threads you want from there.

"To restrict the mod to a certain category...in index.php "...
(just a idea)
perhaps you could code in a text box in ACP for this?
even nicer would be a feature to allow ordering of (3?)multiple categories.

How did you fix this. This is exactly what happens to my page too. I'm using nosebleed template.

It looks just fine in IE and konqueror, but not in firefox and opera.

You can see the mod in action at http://www.wolcan.org.

And yes, I gave it another try since so many run this sucsessfully.

I just added the "last 10 topics" scrolling mod to my forum. I just have one question. Where do I place the SQL statement?? Can anybody help me? I'm running a mysql db. Thanks.

INSERT INTO phpbb_config ( config_name, config_value ) VALUES ('topics_on_index', '10');

Ish · Post by **Ish** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 10:14 pm

Wait a minute, I think I just need to go into MySQL and run the command to insert the new values. Is this right?

I seem to be having the same trouble. If I run the default subsilver style the mod works great... if I change it over to my darkbrown theme, the mod works just as good, but it stretches on to the bottom of the window, covering all the 'new posts' 'no posts' 'locked posts', as well as all the copyright info... i tried changing the attributes of the table but it didnt have any effect... this is my first mod, and I NEARLY had it right off the bat! LOL.... but not quite

any suggestions?

Hi,

I just installed the mod, it is great. Can you tell me how to make it appear in the upper part of the site instead of in the bottom?, I've seen it that way in some of your forums.

Thanks.

Ed.

I noticed an issue where if you clicked on the posters name in the last 10 topics table, it wouldnt take you to that users profile. I found the error in the code and fixed it. This fixed error is posted below. The error is in the index.php page.

Change this:

Code: Select all

	'USER_PROF' => append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'profile.'.$phpEx.'?mode=viewprofile$amp;u='.$row[$i]["user_id"]),

To this:

Code: Select all

	'USER_PROF' => append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'profile.'.$phpEx.'?mode=viewprofile&u='.$row[$i]["user_id"]),
