Okay, it's fixed :) Just add mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); into the code.

Hi, this works perfect for me, but I can't seem to include the php file into my homepage.

If I put the file itself in my homepage, it generates errors, as does my PHP news section.

If I generate the file in the forum root en PHP include it on my homepage nothing happens ...

Would there be another way?

if you include the php file, make sure you don't have these things in your other php-file yet:

Code: Select all

    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    $phpbb_root_path = './';
    $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

    // Start session management
    $user->session_begin();
    $auth->acl($user->data);
    $user->setup();
and make sure the "$phpbb_root_path" is defined correctly.

Hi and thanks but I don't really understand.

If I include it I just use a simple include code like:

<?php

include "community/latestposts.php";

?>

ok, try this code, edit 'PATH TO YOUR FORUM' to your real path (like: ./forum).
it should work, post the error you receive after this one pls :)

I am using this code here and it works great.

Code: Select all

<?

        //Database
        $db="removed";

        //Table prefix
        $table="phpbb_";

        //Show last x topics
        $laforums="10";
     


    $link=mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
    $db=mysql_select_db($db);
    $query="select * from $table".topics."  WHERE topic_approved = '1' order by topic_last_post_time desc limit 0,$laforums";
    $query2="select config_name,config_value from $table".config." where config_name = 'server_name' limit 0,1";
   $result2=mysql_query($query2);
    $row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);
    extract($row2);
    $result=mysql_query($query);
    while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

  echo "<a href='http://".$config_value."/viewforum.php?f=".$forum_id."' target='_blank'>".$row2[forum_name].":</a> <a href='http://".$config_value."/viewtopic.php?f=".$forum_id."&t=".$topic_id."' target='_blank'>".$topic_title."</a> view: ".$topic_views.", replies: ".$topic_replies.", topic first poster: ".$topic_first_poster_name.", topic last poster: ".$topic_last_poster_name.", topic last post time: ".$date."<br>\n";
    }

    //-------------------------- END
    ?>
But I would like to contain everything into a table like I have in the code below, but how can it be coded properly to display without any errors? I am stumped on this, newb here...

Code: Select all

<table
style="text-align: left; width: 700px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"
border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td
style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Poster<br>

<td style="vertical-align: top;">[".$topic_views."]</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">".$topic_last_poster_name."</td>
</tr>

</table>
This would be inserted in the echo command area.

Any help much appreciated

Re: {REQUEST} - Topics Anywhere for phpBB 3.x.

Post by TheSa|nt »

I cannot get any of these to work. They all result in the same issue.

I try to run this code through an iframe outside of the forums, on my site. The result I get is:
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/session.php on line 990: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /lasttopic.php:1)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/session.php on line 990: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /lasttopic.php:1)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/session.php on line 990: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /lasttopic.php:1)

And then it lists all of the posts currently under these errors
That's including if I try opening the lasttopic.php page by itself in a browser (therefore my issue isn't a conflict of another script trying to use the same variables or anything). So it does work in terms of pulling the information and displaying it correctly...but it still starts off with the errors every time.

Of course if the user clicks to enter my forums, and then goes back to view the page...it will view just fine. However, once their session I guess ends...the errors start again. This is a problem because users will see this in an iframe on the main index page of my site before they ever get to entering my forums.

The location where I am trying to iframe it is my root dir (my site's index file) and the lasttopic.php file and forums are in "./forum" subfolder.

The script I am using is:

Code: Select all

   <?php
    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    $phpbb_root_path = './';
    $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

    // Start session management
    $user->session_begin();
    $auth->acl($user->data);
    $user->setup();

    // Number of posts and grabbing permissions
    $topic_limit = request_var('topic_limit', 10);
    $forums = array_unique(array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read', true)));

    // Select the last topics to which we have permissions
    $sql = 'SELECT p.post_id, p.topic_id, p.forum_id, p.post_subject, p.post_time, u.username
                    FROM ' . POSTS_TABLE . ' p , ' . USERS_TABLE . ' u
                    WHERE post_approved = 1
                        AND ' . $db->sql_in_set('forum_id', $forums) . '
                        AND u.user_id = p.poster_id
                    ORDER BY post_time DESC
                    LIMIT 0,' . $topic_limit;
    $result = $db->sql_query($sql);

    // Now let's output the content
    echo '<html><head><title>Animevortex - Latest Forum Posts</title><link rel="stylesheet" href="./ssi/styles.css" type="text/css"></head><body bgcolor="#333333"><br /><div id="post_content"><ul>';
    while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
    {
        $url = generate_board_url() . "/viewtopic.{$phpEx}?f={$row['forum_id']}&t={$row['topic_id']}&p={$row['post_id']}#p{$row['post_id']}";
        echo '<li><a target="_top" href="' . $url . '">' . $row['post_subject'] . '</a><br /><font size="1" color="#CCCCCC" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">from ' . $row['username'] . ' on ' . $user->format_date($row['post_time']) . '</font></li>';
    }

FYI, I think I got it!


What I did was change
$phpbb_root_path = './';

to
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';


and it appears to be working. So if anyone else has that problem....there's the solution ;)

Mod works great - I've been using it on a forum with no problems.

I have another forum which is password protected. For this forum, I have an off-forum php page which has the following code:

Code: Select all

<?php
    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    $phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
    $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

    // Start session management
    $user->session_begin();
    $auth->acl($user->data);
        if ($user->data['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
    {
        login_box('', $user->lang['LOGIN']);
    } 
    ?>
This makes it where a user has be logged into the forum to view the page. But when I put the Topics Anywhere code in this page, I get this error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare deregister_globals() (previously declared in /home/content/l/i/f/lifeleap99/html/toolbox/common.php:32) in /home/content/l/i/f/lifeleap99/html/toolbox/common.php on line 94
I've been struggling but can't figure how to make the two codes in this page work together. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
